Starks !
F*ck yeah !
For some reason i’m going all fanboy on this because Starks is definitely my favourite Espada and I know for sure I would have been totally disappointed if Baragan was to be Primera.
As expected though , Halibel ends up on 3rd place , but that’s still good. Wonder if she’ll defeat Hitsugaya . But I know that too many fangirls(and fanboys) will go into deep rage if that ever happens =/
So Kyoraku is fighting against the strongest espada , I can’t say I really expect him to survive this fight…
…but then again , nobody dies in bleach 
Also , it looks like we might finally be getting back at the Ichigo vs Ulquiorra fight . the Captain fights were starting to get long =/

Well, It is good to know that Stark is the Primera Espada(#1). Baragan suits as #2 because he tends to underestimate his opponents unlike Stark who gives respect to his opponents. Halibell is the perfect candidate for the 3rd Espada. I think she replaced Nell, since Nell was kicked out of Las Noches by Nnoitra. I guess Espadas No 1,2,3 and 4 were vastorodes before obtaining their shinigami powers because they seem to be in a whole new level compared to the Espadas No 5,6,7,8,9 and 10. As you all know Nnoitra doesn’t like a female espada being in a higher rank than him, but I guess he couldn’t do anything about Halibell because she was too strong for him and Nnoitra probably doesn’t want to get embarrased by getting his ass kicked by a female Espada once again.

If you want to know more, here are a few more points that I would to add.(These are just my predictions, I can’t guarantee that it is true.)
First of all, I think Ichigo will learn more about his bankai. May be his bankai has another ability besides super speed and Getsuga Tenshou. Take for example, Byakuya,. His bankai has three forms, the first one is in the form of flower petals, the second one consists of a Stadium of Swords and the third one is more of a pheonix. So basically Ichigo is going to have a conversation with Zangetsu once again and pull out his new ability. He will be on the verge of losing and in then he will say a few strong words like he normally does before he defeats an opponent such as “I made a pact with my soul” or even ” I will defeat you and bring my friends back with me” or “I can’t die yet, not until I defeat Aizen”. After defeating Ulqiorra, Ichigo would probably be badly injured and might even faint. But the point is he still wins.

I still have more to say, so I hope you will be patient. These are still my opinions.
My next point is Sado(Chad) will fight Espada Number Ten(Yammy) and Sado will get his revenge for Yammy did to him the last time. Sado will definitely win.
Back to the fight in Soul Society, Hitsuga will get beaten up real bad because he could barely hold up against Lupi(Previous Espada Number Six). As you all know Halibel is the third espada and was a vastorode, there is still no way Hitsugaya can win. I think Ukitake(13th division Captain) would fight Baragan and ask Soi Fong to assist Hitsugaya. Soi Fong shoul be strong and we never got to see her bankai, so I guess she would use her bankai to fight Halibel, otherwise she will not stand a chance against Halibel. I also have a feeling that Yoruichi would help Soi Fong to fight Halibel.
Ukitake would use his bankai and would try to defeat Baragan in his released form as soon as possible due to his health problems. Well, I really want Ukitake to defeat Baragan. If something happens to Ukitake then, Yamamoto will help him out and he too might use his bankai.
Kyoraku Shunsui, the one who is fighting Stark, will definitely use his bankai t fight Stark’s released form. I can’t tell who is going to win because they both have the same attitude and they both seem strong.
Overall, I can’t wait to see Stark’s, Baragan’s, Halibell’s and Ulquiorra’s released form. Yammy’s released form is gonna look crappy like Syazel Aporro’s and Zomari Le Roux’s release. Yammy would probably transform into a huge ass monster.

Sorry I made a mistake by typing out Hitsugaya as “Hitsuga” and I might have made a few other spelling mistakes as well. Sorry about that.

Am gonna have to disappoint all of you when I tell you this but there is no vastolorde in Aizen’s army yet. You want to know why? Hollows are classified into 3, gillians, adjuchas and Vastos. Adjuchas taking the animal form while vastos looking more humanoid. All espadas so far have a released form requiring an animal command like Grimmjow’s pantera 4 panther, nnoitra’s pray 4 praying mantis, ulqy’s murcielago 4 bat and finally Halbel’s tiburon 4 shark. All this commands have an animal twist to them. So if barragan n stark do mention a certain animal in their ressurecíon (which they will) that will answer your question. A true vastolorde should look humanoid as possible like ichigo’s hollow transformation in chapter 350.

Soifon and Toshiro will lose their battles badly leaving yamamoto and ukitake to fight on their behalf respectively. Bleach has an uncanny way me pairing up opponents too perfectly see grimmjow vs ichigo both have similar personalities, nnoitra vs zaraki both who lust for a good fight ssyazel and Maruichi (cant spell that sorry) both scientists byakuya vs zomari both who are equally fast and arrogant etc. We all know how this will end and I dont like the numbers, 7-0 is almost too perfect. War must have casualties both sheep should lose people. Tite Kubo am disappointed in you:( thats why I prefer Naruto.

Wait , So you are suggesting Ichigo is a Vastro Lorde ?
Dec 17, 2008, 8:26 amwouldn't that be like , too easy ?
Ash says:
yes after ichigo has defeated ulqiorra you see him in his vasto lorde form (long hair) the mosre hollow he kills the stronger the vasto lorde inside him grows.

sorry ment more*
Dec 17, 2008, 3:23 pmkurotsuki says:
I don't know , well yeah it's a possibilty , but I won't trust that until someone in the manga confirms it . I mean , Ichigo would have basically skipped all the basic steps to becoming a Vastro Lorde , so that's why I'm skeptical. but oh well.

Hey, hey, hey, don't forget shinji hirako and his vizard crew are also getting ready to rumble… just wondering who they'll be targeting?
Maybe Aizen,Tosen ang Gin… But I don't think tosen is strong considering that kenpachi beat him even w/ his bankai on… (or kenpachi is just really strong and crazy)…
Also, watch out for kisuke uruhara and his crew…
