Bleach 271 : So…he wasn’t the #1 Espada..
So , finally , after exactly 80 chapter after his first appearance…

we finally get to learn the rank of the one we always tough was the #1 Espada , his name : Ulquiorra Shiffer

Perhaps because of the way Aizen treats him , and the way his other comrade treated him to , we were lead ( at least I ) to think that he was actually the strongest guy in Aizen’s Army . Especially after the way Noitara talked to him as if he was challenging him . But it is also true that we don’t know Noitara’s number but speculation as it that he would be #2 . But then again , we though Ulquiorra was #1..when he is..
Given that he is #4 and that Ichigo could not even scratch him , i wonder what kind of future awaits ours friends . Chad seems to be Out , and Rukia is presumably dead . I don’t think Renji will last any longer and Ishida ..well..i suppose it’s only a matter of time before he meets someone who will chop his head off . In the end , the Espada proves to be what we expected from Vastro Lorde ( except Aaroniero who as a Gillian…but as we can see he was killed by Rukia ) , a.k.a ” 10 of them would be enough to destroy Soul Society ” . Perhaps the scariest part of all this is how they all are scared of Aizen . I wonder what kind of demon that guy is .
Briefly back to the rank , so far in decreasing order we have this :
10 ) Yammy
9 ) Aaroniero Arleri
8 ) Zaera-poli Grantz
7 ) X
6 ) Grimmjow
5 )X
4 ) Ulquiorra
3 )X
2 )X
1)X
If The espada work somewhat like the Gotei 13 , perhaps we can conclude that the #1 is the Old guy . Starks looks strong ( the laziness hides something ) , so perhaps he’d be #3 , Halibel looks so mysterious..she could actually be #1 . as for the Black dude…dunno , he looks strong too .
damn you Kubo for making our brains work so much >_> .
Hurry up with 272 !
