The rankings of the top five espada were all wrong. It made little logical sense why baraggan would lose his no.1 position to starrk who actually was very powerful but face it, if he fought baraggan he would lose. No espada has the power set to take out Baraggan. Ony a kidou user with vast expertise could defeat him which is why it was massive pis that he would be faced with the one person on the battlefield that could take him out except for Aizen of course. He may not be the most powerful but absolutely is the most dangerous. Yammy is unknown. He is however powerful enough to face 2 semi-high tier captains at once and claimed to be stronger than Ulquiorra which if true he would be either the strongest or second strongest espada. Ulquiorra out of all espada demonstrated by far the most destructive power with multiple city buster level attacks and was the first of and one of few bleach characters to demonstrate city busting level.Of the espada attacks only starrk's cero metraletta can even compare and it's still vastly smaller. also he's got regeneration and speed rivaling any other espada's except for Starrk. Starrk is actually the most well rounded espada of all. He had pretty much the most destructive blasts after ulquiorra, he was faster than even kyouraku who yamamoto himself complimented on speed, he could take a blow or stab too better than most others, and his intelligence and strategy was the best of all espada except maybe for Szayel's. I think that's why he was no. 1 because he had no weaknesses and was above average espada level in all categories. Harribel is down right weaker than the other 4. Why in the world she's higher in rank than ulquiorra is beyond be. imo Ulquiorra showed more skill in sealed form than harribel did in release. He could take on a bankai and vizard mask opponent in his sealed form. Harribel also took on a bankai opponent in sealed form but the difference is that she lost her battle and ulquiorra didn't (the first time but the second time was pis due to the fact that it was ichigo he was fighting.) I actually think that nnoitra would be a close match for her. They're about as fast, both stronger than most of the other espada in physical strength, nnoitra is actually more durable, and has regeneration. Her sole advantage over him is superior long range which he does have though.

In my mind the proper order is this

Baraggan
Ulquiorra
Yammy (maybe starrk should be here but we'll see)
Starrk
Harribel
Nnoitra
Grimmjow
Zommari
Szayel
Aaroneiro

ulquiorra should be numer 2 and grimmjow number 3. Stark stay as 1 for me.

is that just the fan side of you speaking or do you really think grimmjow qualifies as no. 3 espada?

[super yang]

oh there was some life here!

i think #3 is too high for grimjow also...im a fan though.

i want to see what more posters ranks would be, nobody really has the same list so far...

[super yang]

yammy is still to come, also...

[super yang]

i was watching the flash back of baragan...it seems his aging power was only initiated when an object touched his blade(very grim-reaper like!), as aizen alluded to.
So could that mean he didnt have the 'respira' ability until after 'shinigamification'?

and is it true that stark is a natural/self-made arrancar-no hogyoku required?

if all this is true then stark was stronger than baragan before aizen appeared in HM...?
or did he simply not use respira it in the flasher >_<(though the hollows around him seemed ok getting near him)...i think its the former though.
