Hail Clyde-sama
I knew it!
Big brain
Copyright is truly the ultimate anime antagonist
Hail Clyde (Aizen sama)
Baraggan is the most mishandled character in the series. The idea that somebody as ancient as he is is not on the same level as Yamamoto really didn’t sit right with me.
Age does not equal power. For 1000 years Yama was mastering zanjutsu, hakuda, hoho, and kido while teaching these techniques to soul reapers. Meanwhile Barragan sat on a chair in the middle of a desert surrounded by hollows that would get bodied by lieutenants, let alone a captain . We can say beyond any shadow of a doubt that Yama is a master combatant. Barragan seems to just sit back and let his op ability do all the work for him. That just means it makes all the more sense that Barragan let his own arrogance be his downfall. He didn't see Hachi as a threat so Hachi was able to outsmart him and use his own op ability agains him. Hard to say how respira would stack up against Yama bankai flames, but Yama bankai is hot enough to erase things from existence while respira merely decays.
@@brycenorvell6540 Yes and no… I agree that Baraggan was shown to just be sitting around but for most of Yamamoto‘s time in the story he just stood there as well and did nothing too. The only two times he really got involved he gets blindsided by wonderwis and then the second time he gets killed… We also don’t know what happened with Baraggan prior to the story starting. Hueco Mondo for the most part seem to have been in a state of peace and Baraggan Was the undisputed king of that realm. We don’t know what he went through to get it to that point. Wasn’t it said that Vasto Lorde should be on the same level as captains? Where were they all? the few that we do encounter during the series are at peace. Who knows Barragán could have been waging a millennia of war eradicating the rest of them to get to where he was. I think this theory draws a lot of parallels with the history of the Soul society, the formation of the Gotei 13 and it’s extended state of peace it was experiencing when the story gets started. Don’t you think? Regarding his abilities, I thought it was great! And I thought the way that he was eventually killed was very fitting for his character. My issue with him I guess is more of an unbalanced power scaling issue across the series as a whole. I just think Baraggan got it worse.
The second half of the arrancar arc downplayed heavily how powerful Vasto lorde class hollows are in the lore. Heck they had Yamoto beat one with his fists. When his prime self couldn’t beat a rival to Baraggan the same way. Vasto lorde are physically stronger and faster then captains. They had to invent zanpakutous to kill them.
@@brycenorvell6540 I think he means that that for someone who's been around for this long with the ability he's had, he should of been made to be as strong as Yamamoto, that's what he means
@@LXDV Yea I agree with your points. We can't say for sure what Barragan has gotten up to the past 1000 years. Completely agree about the unbalanced power scaling but that's just Bleach. I don't think vasto lordes lived up to the statement that put them on the same level as captains since Stark was killed by Shunsui in just his shikai. We were meant to see people like Stark and Barragan as threats to captain level individuals, but from what we see out of some of the captains in TYBW the arrancar never really stood a chance. I think Barragan still comes across as very strong, even from an EOS standpoint, the only way to kill him is with his own power or maybe someone like Yama, Ichibe, Gerard, etc.
The reason Yamamoto lost to Ikomikidomoe was because they fought before the soul reapers even had access to Zanpakuto. So the hollow beat a young, inexperienced shikai-less Yamamoto
yea thats pretty much why and the hollow was not the strength it was back then its stronger now
is it confirmed that they didnt have Zanpakuto at the time?
@@mikecash2384 did you read the novel?
@@sukuna716 some of it im still in the first vol.. but that doesnt answer my question... was it confirmed that Yamamoto came up before the time of the Zanpakuto?
@@mikecash2384 yes
I feel like it would've been so much better if Wonderweiss just didn't exist and Yamamoto and Baraggan faced off instead.
Maybe even give them some backstory, like having Yamamoto be the one who gave Baraggan the scar over his right eye back when they were both young; but instead of resenting him for it, Baraggan could thank Yamamoto for the lesson in humility, and explain that by no longer being cocky or arrogant he was able to grow supremely strong and conquer all of Hueco Mundo.
Not having the two uber-strong wise old men leaders fight each other was such a giant missed opportunity.
Completely agree, you could also make the ranks mean a little more by making it actually take 4 captains to take Stark.
Facts wonderweiss was in the show for no reason
@@rhysgarland9295 i was fine with the Starrk one, only because the two captains it took scale to Shikai Yamamoto, where as base Yamamoto scales to a vasto lorde arrancar like Wonderweiss
@@storysurgeon5922 What about Yammy? The biggest troll of the Arrancars? He was off-screened by two mid-tier captains, one who almost died against 5.
When I get writers block I just draw new characters.
To be fair he was LITERALLY the only Espada that wasn't defeated by the Soul Reapers, he was beaten by his own power. If they didn't have the dimensional magician helping them out Baraggan could've wiped out most of, if not the entire Soul Reaper force by himself.
Makes you wonder how Aizen subjugated him in the first place...
wow lol
He didn't even tried to fight. He was just there, breathing his breath of death and was allmost winnig. His base form was faster then one of the fastest shinigami and he had an axe he never even used
@@hackfleischking5162 That's the thing about a commander or a king, they see combat as something that is beneath them and not something to dirty their own hands in. Something for the lower classes to partake in while they turn their attention to more "important" things. To them victory is what is paramount in a war and battle is just a boring obstacle they need to deal with in order to achieve what's important.
The dimensional magician was a lieutenant💀
@@hackfleischking5162 his release was called Arrogante, so you could see that as a form of arrogance. But then again i wouldnt be at all surprised if it were just bad writing lol
I swear man not having Yamamoto, Baraggan, and Yhwach all interact makes no sense to me, like that would be awesome to see. Especially when you realize there all kind of related to Time. Yamamoto being able to resurrect the dead as soldiers for him to use in battle, and having control over Soul Society which is modeled after an old school style Japan. Which makes him represent the Past. Yhwach being able to use Future events to change the outcome of his current situation, making it so he always wins in the now. Which means he can represent the Present. And Baraggan's ability to rot absolutely anything by making it age rapidly, so he represents The Future. Since that's what eventually happens to everything. Whether this was intentional or not you have to admit it'd be pretty cool
Interesting
Missed opertunity man missed opertunity
Barragan really rubbed me the wrong way in that regard. A complete monster with incredible abilities, and an age rivaling if not surpassing Yamamoto. Yet he's fighting for his spot with the other four Espada. He should have been so strong compared to the others that only Yama or Shunsui and Ukitate could take him. It would have been amazing to have him be the only one allied with Aizen willingly. A being too strong even for Aizen, much like Yamamoto
Interesting
@@ClydeRUclipsr I did want to clarify when I said willingly I meant joining him not because of fear of his power or anything like that, but as a mutual ally in destroying the shinigami
He is definitely not fighting for 4th. He is the strongest and was only #2 because Aizen wanted to troll him and have him as "second strongest."
@@JN-bs5yr Let me clarify what I meant by that, I even edited the comment to make my statement clearer. What I meant is that based on the scaling of what we've seen from some others he's quite possibly only stronger than Harribel. Starrk has better showings and feats, as does Ulquiorra, and if we go off the scaling and portrayal Yammy LLargo is a more powerful being. Yes he has hax with his age death ability but in terms of raw power he's trumped out by 3 other Espada, potentially 4 if you count Wonderweiss. That's what I mean by rubbing me the wrong way. He should have been like Yamamoto, Yamamoto has the most powerful offensive Zanpakuto, but his kido skill, flashtep speed, Zanjutsu and Hakudo profiency are all top-notch as well. He beat a Vasto Lorde Espada level threat with his bare hands with no damage. If you take away Barragans zanpakuto he's low-key fodder. I could see an argument made that Respira-less Barragan would lose to fucking Grimmjow. That's the problem. You take away Ulquiorra's zanpakuto he's still 1v1ing someone like Bankai or Hollowmasked Ichigo in base form. You take away Starrks zanpkauto and he's still fast enough to blitz past Ichigo and Kenpachi and keep up with Shunsui in close combat. Shunsui is the same dude whose comparable to Retsu and Jushiro, assuming he hasn't trained from that arc to the Wanderiech arc, which is possible, Starrk scales to base Lille Barro. Starrk is better than Barragan in every way except hax. He's so strong he had to split himself to repress his power, the only other person who did this was child Kenpachi, who scaled to Retsu Unohana, one of the strongest Captains in Soul Society's history. Starrk is also the only Espada that joined Aizen not out of fear or anything like that.
@@storysurgeon5922 Barragan easily has better feats than Starrk, and pretty much every Espada besides Ulquiorra. But his respira would allow him to win against either of them. He's also shown to be one of the fastest in the verse, and his respira is faster than any of their attacks. Wonderweiss is nowhere near Barragan level so I'm not sure why he's even in the convo. You're saying without hax barragan is weak, which I agree with but it wouldn't be fair to dispose of the only thing he specializes in. There is no Espada that can counter his ability, plain and simple which makes him the strongest by far.
I do agree that as the king of Hueco he should've been able to rival Yamamoto, which is a huge flaw in his character. His ability is leagues ahead of Yamamoto's but the spiritual pressure is what makes the difference in strength between them.
Wouldn’t Barragan still be stronger than “prime” Barragan considering being turned into an arrancar by the hogyoku?
Yes
Well that would depend on how much you believe his power has deteriorated. He is no doubt stronger then when aizen beat him tho
My real surname is barragan and that makes me very happy
@@klaushoxha3245 his surname isnt baraggan though it's baraggan louisenbairn lol
He was shown in a human form so doesnt that mean hes a natural arrancar? In which case did aizen make him stronger?
He's my favorite just because of the way he looks. "Can't Fear Your Own World" Barragan looks so fucking badass.
Agreed
Same
I do think there is a major difference in terms of Spiritual Pressure and combat ability.
Barragan definitely has high combat ability, being incredibly difficult to handle for opponents to deal with due to his ability but will simply get dunked on by someone with a massive difference in spiritual pressure like Aizen while someone like Yammy has high spiritual pressure but cannot apply that advantage in terms of combat (to the point that neither Byakuya nor Kenpachi had any issues cutting him despite Yammy having an ability that deliberately increases his durability).
Yammy who is the "strongest Espada" was just a third wheel in their attempted clash and comedic relief that was so unimportant, that he was off-screened.
Someone who has both high spiritual pressure and combat ability, like Aizen or Ulquiorra is truly more of a threat. Even Kenpachi found out how dangerous someone with less spiritual pressure could be when Pernida turned his leg into a meatball and would've one-shotted him had Mayuri not interfered.
That's why I'm always torn between Ulquiorra and Starrk. I really don't know how well Ulquirroa would've done against 2v1s, especially the first fight against Shunsui and Ukitake. It definitely wouldn't have been back and forth stomp fest it was when he fought against Ichigo or how well he would've done with Ukitake basically hard countering his strongest techniques as he did against Starrk. At the same time, I don't think Starrk could put down Vasto Lorde Ichigo or do better than Ulquiorra but probably wouldn't have played with his food to bring out the transformation.
This is just me nerding out. I appreciate the video and you being one of the few power scalers I watch who knowledge the flaws of the medium (and Kubo's trolling). Cheers.
You just made me realize Yammy is a combat retarded version of Kenpachi. Sure Kenpachi cant consciously control his spiritual energy, but he can use it to affect his enemy via spiritual pressure and protect himself from attacks like how Ichigo couldnt cut him.
Yeah, something that always irks me about people talking about "strongest" characters is that they go purely based of feats and who-beat-who without taking into account that different aspects of the character form their combat ability, which is completely different from their strengths. As you said, Yammy has the highest spiritual pressure but he's not intelligent enough to use it to the best capable way. In comparison, Kenpachi also had very high spiritual pressure but he focuses it on cutting to be able to slash anything he wants. It's not the best use of that overabundance of power but still more concentrated than how Yammy fights.
Also, I've been rereading Bleach and the power scales always seem very, very hard to distinguish a ranking. Kubo likes to make fights equal-ish, so speeds are sometimes nerfed and some abilities are sometimes overblown. The best example I can state is that Ichigo could barely beat Grimmjow, who's number 6. So, obviously, up against a released Ulqiuorra, Ichigo would get very easily stomped making Ulqiuorra seem way too powerful. However, Hitsugaya had been portrayed as somewhat weak throughout the series up to this point due to barely surviving his battles and sometimes failing to kill his opponents (Luppi, the replacement 6th espada, survived his ice attack and retreated). Yet, Hitsugaya held his own against Harribel for quite some time. Even assuming Ulqiuorra should have been placed much higher, this still means that Hitsugaya could have beaten Grimmjow and Nnoitora while Ichigo just barely managed Grimmjow, and it's evidence of how vague the fighting rankings of each character can become when match-ups are designed to make battles prolonged.
"Combat ability" are all the physical stats that can be eeked out of Reiryoku/Reiatsu, databook statements clarify that all the power of Ichigo's bankai goes into speed for instance. So they are essentially one in the same which is why res and bankais can throw hands.
Combat skill is its own beast though
I disagree he had "high combat ability" For someone with "high combat ability" he didn't show much affinity for battle. He sits back and throws repira. He's taking pot shots but never actually showed he could fight. Just kinda overwhelmed his opponent with respira which is hax. Even in Halibells flashback, they mention worrying about Barragans soldiers more cuz Barragans always on his throne.
Lets be real, barragon lost to aizens busted shikai. aizens zanpaktou literally countered barragons ability since he didnt see it coming. that had nothing to do with combat or spiritual pressure, just what they brought to the table. this was the equivalent of a sniper during the iraq war shooting a medievil knight before he noticed and saying "i was stronger". its dirty, but its a tactic.
A fight between Barragan and Yamamoto was such a missed opportunity, I hope Kubo would make a spin off of just something where Barragan and Yamamoto fought
yup
Barrigan's character shows one of the glaring issues with Kubo's writing. Kubo is among the best shonen writers ever at designing and introducing amazing characters with amazing backstories. I'd personally say Kubo is, however, among the worst (popular) shonen writers at developing and utilizing those characters after introducing them. Barrigan is a victim of this, the Royal Guard (squad 0) are victims, Chad and Orihime are victims, Starrk is a victim. I'd argue a lot more characters are introduced with amazing designs and backstories (including Ichigo), then fail to be utilized effectively, but those are obvious examples.
It can somewhat be summed up on that some his ideas behind the ideas are very clear but he never gives the characters themselves the chance to participate in their own story
A lot of people will say Ichigos story is about accepting himself....but when you break it down, Ichigo only never got the chance to CONSCIOUSLY reject himself...and every time he figures out something is a part of himself....he instantly is okay with it within a chapter or two and no real conflict.
Interesting.
I agree with you on squad 0 chad and even orihime. But tybw was rushed so you can’t really fault him there. Barrigan was also wasted opportunity and that’s on them too. But when the last arc gets animated it most likely will be way better than the manga
The way it was structured, the whole Hueco Mundo arc was Aizen throwing Ichigo at jobbers just to power Ichigo up.
100% agree
Bleach has some of the best characters in all of literature : amazing art design, amazing powers, great backstory
Yet most of them are not used properly/killed off
He needs to learn from Oda and One piece
One of the unique things about Barragan’s power is that it complete overrrides the whole spiritual pressure defense (according to some novels and books)
Barragan should have fought Yamamoto with both clashing back and fourth. He's an ancient being that deserves the respect as the strongest with a possible hidden defensive ability involving respira or something. Barragan should have killed a captain in my opinion to heighten the danger.
Barragan could have easily been a main villain in Bleach seeing the World of the living as a new castle with his henchmen Arrancar/Espada invading. A medieval like setting for Barragan in Huecco Mundo where the King needs to consume high spiritual souls to fulfill a goal or some sort. Waging war for what Soul Reapers have done to Hollows as they couldn't be saved or something. Tite Kubo really wasted this character. He wasted many things in Bleach.
hence why many, myself included, find him to be shit writer.
@@doomgazer-seeks-the-truth no lol
@@frobsonsdesenhos yes. His concepts and designs are great but his writing is terrible.
Barragan was a fallen king and like Yamamoto got too lazy with his own powers. It makes sense that he got beaten by his own powers.
You know his hax is broken when you gotta use his OWN powers against him to kill him lol
And plz more bleach content
N don't worry I already dropped a like on the video
lmao true
Next week!
I think the parts of Bleach that frustrated me the most were the parts where the power scaling got messed up or was unclear, because for parts of it the scaling was almost perfect and extremely clever, and for others it got all muddled and messy
I love how much Barragan hated Aizen yet he had no choice but to follow him. As OP as Barragan’s abilities are, Aizen’s existence is even more OP pre-Hogyoku.
Aizen was awesome asf till be absorbed that thing after that he was lame
It could have been a good story if they went further into it.
@@jon_ovo3653 he was petty af after he fused , but it's probably what we'd all do if we think we are the strongest existence
@@swapnavadey6096 he just felt weaker once he fused it didn’t feel like “aizen”
@@jon_ovo3653 shit man, i meant petty not pretty 💀
Baraggan was probably one of the scariest characters to think about because his power is so universal. It's not some overpowered sword or being able to channel your inner power into strong strikes, its just decaying. something that all living and nonliving things fall victim to. even powers humans couldn't comprehend could decay and have their life widdle away. just a touch and you could fall into nothingness, and that was something that even applied to the captains as Soi Fon was literally touched and her arm was gone. its probably one of the scariest powers that if used properly I'm not sure anyone in the series could have actually handled it.
15:00 That could be explained by Yamamoto not using his Bankai against the hollow just like he didn’t use it against Aizen. He doesn’t use his Bankai unless he absolutely has to and I doubt he would think he needed to against a mere Vasto Lorde. So Yamamoto could have beaten the Hollow, is stronger than Barragan, and rivals or surpasses Base Aizen with Bankai. And Yamamoto clearly used his Bankai against Yhwach a thousand years ago so that scaling makes sense as well.
I wouldn’t say rivals. Bc aizen was afraid of the shikai. Bankai would destroy pre hoguyoku aizen.
Interesting!
@@adriellopez7560 Yea he made Wonderweiss to prepare for the Bankai and have it sealed before it was released.
@@adriellopez7560 Aizen said that Yama's zanpakuto was the strongest not just the shikai. In a straight up brawl Yama would have more attack power despite Aizen having superior reiatsu.
@@adriellopez7560 Aizen never specified that he was afraid of Yama's Shikai, he just agreed that Yamamoto's Zanpakuto is the strongest. That includes Bankai. Aizen did fight Yamamoto briefly with his Shikai active after all. You would think if Aizen was that scared of the Shikai he wouldnt fight Yama at all until Wonderweiss showed up. Either that or use his hypnosis on Yama during the fight so he was 100% safe. Aizen did neither.
I’m really enjoying Clyde uploading more bleach content
Thanks King
I think sometimes, and definitely in bleach, there's an important note to be made about trying to power scale everything.... Matchups can absolutely have rock-paper-scissors effects. And, being stronger than someone doesn't *always* stop a power from working. Just look at Tousen getting bodied by Kenpachi. Kenpachi was under the full effect of the bankai despite DEFINITELY being stronger.
Yeah, the “you’ve got a lot more spirit pressure than them so you’re by default immune to their spirit attacks” concept always bothered me, felt like it would make a lot of fights in the series with one weaker fighter a lot more lopsided, and isn’t applied all that consistently in the story.
Interesting
@@Qazplm601MC that's why I liked when Fullbringers were added. Powers that may not be as powerful, wielded only by for most part weak humans, but which couldn't be nullified with just sheer spiritual pressure. Kinda fitting the idea of them coming from Soul King as well.
Why has nobody made a video on transcendent reiatsu? A lot of people don’t understand the concept
I’ll cover it eventually, it’s surprising how no one is following the story properly.
@@ClydeRUclipsr im hyped for this, making transcendent reiatsu easier to cite and source using a vid would help alot
Transcendence is when goes beyond the species and becomes something different. Only 3 people are confirmed to be transcendant that are Prime SK , Dangai Ichigo and Hogyoku Aizen
RUclips: Copy right strike and takes down Clyde's video.
Clyde: You fool, I knew you would do that before you where born.
lmao
The spiritual pressure defense works against spiritual pressure based attacks , an ability like respira does bypasses it . For the erasing soifon's mark , we dont even know if it wasnt an illusion and its an entierly different kind of ability
i think he has the strongest hax out of the espada but he ain't surviving starrk's cero spam nor ulquiorra's infinite nuke spams
trueee
Yeah he can age those things .
It literally said in the video and manga he ages ceros so they would fall victim to his ability. You obviously did not watch the video
He wasn't even fighting. He was just there breathing his breath of death thinking it whould be enough because of his pure arrogance. As he was a little pist of by Hachi he used his axe two times which cutted through hachis Kido like a hot knife through butter and was much faster then the respira. He didn't realy move much and used not a single Zero.
@@CrucifiedAGL yh I cba to watch all of it, then y tf is he number 2?
As best I remember, Baraggan was king of Hueco Mundo simply primarily due to the nature of his abilities, that being able to nullify virtually any physical or elemental attack meant he had the ultimate defense, and to that extent he was an absolute monster. That being said, his offensive capabilities were likely less than the other higher ranked Espada, although if pressed into a fight Baraggan would have likely easily beaten them, and on the same token he could have taken even Yamamoto. Baraggan was only subjugated by Aizen's zanpakuto hypnosis powers and became an unwilling pawn out of the desire of self-preservation and was simply biding his time till Aizen moved on or was taken out by somebody else.
“With the exception of Aaronerio and Szayel, the other Espada are physical, combat only fighters”
Rip my main man Zommari 😝
I left a note on the screen during that part
Baraggan is underrated, and I wish he had been used better in the story.
What comes to "more terrifying than Aizen" comment. I think it's actually legit. It doesn't mean he would be stronger than Aizen. It's the fact that his power is literally aging and death. It's something inevitable. Something you cant fight against. Baraggan is a personafication of a concept most likely everyone is terrified of.
It's like comparing a shotgun and cancer. Shotgun can blow your brains out right there, but deep down, people are still more afraid of cancer.
Agreed, it’s all about perspective. And from a perspective Barragan’s power is terrifying.
Aizen had everybody shook just from his spiritual pressure. So I’m going to assume no.
Interesting
@@ClydeRUclipsr but he had my favorite design of the group. I wish he stayed in his skeleton form more
I don't feel like the scaling was all that inconsistent with the novels if you are assuming he is very rusty and Yamamoto was not at his prime yet when facing the hollow. Assuming that was his last major battle between then and aizen its really just a story of aging out of your prime and not staying active
Trust me, there's a lot more issues than the stuff I listed lol.
I don't have any social media besides snapchat 😅 but I like all of the videos. Love the work, thank you sir 💛
Also I know comments help the algorithm.
Thanks a lot!
Kenpachi is pretty weird since when he fights ichigo, Ichigo was boosted to captain level which was enough to fight Kenpachi eyepatch off and later after the fight he’s able to fight two captains at the same time eye patch on so what I’m sayin is even if Kenpachi isn’t serious shouldn’t he have enough reiatsu by the time they could have fought
Kenpachi is a weird one indeed.
Kenpachi Spirit power/energy is the same as it was since he was a child and beat Unohana what change is how he manifest it = Reaitsu.
this is how Kenpachi can scale his power level depending on situation because he has the energy in reserve to do so. Scaling kenpachi before his awakening is a lost cause because he upscales himself based on his enemy.
Kenpachi was always a moving goalpost in the story. Probably the biggest positive to Unohana removing his limiters is finally showing his definitive power/position instead of it annoyingly changing all the time.
Most likely, comparable to strongest hollow to ever exit, but aizen's rating should be correct. Just means stark was stronger. We just didn't get to see them use full power, zaraki was literally annoyed after fight still couldn’t kill yammy.
Interesting
He was only stronger then ikki before ikki devoured million of human souls and went to the soul society
Bar again is definetly a cool character, but I feel like he was very underestimated, he literally got rid of a bankai from a CAPTAIN, which I dknt know if some of the other arrancar/Espada could even do, sure grimmjow took out a (revived (stronger)) Quincy in vollstanding is definetly a considerable feat, but that was also after some planning and time, and I think if played right the breath of death could definetly kill or disable some of the sternritter
Imagine if baraggan’s power was actually ultimately encompassed the whole of entropy rather than it being a product of it in senescence…
That would have been a big problem to the plot 🤣.
I once had the same thought though
Personally the biggest sin here is Yamamoto not fighting Barragan aside from Barragan dying (which he shouldn’t have) terrible writing if you ask me. What’s also a sin here is the teasing of the Vasto Lorde class which was never truly and directly introduced. They were suppose to be stronger than captain lvl espada but due to bad writing they aren’t and the Arrancar baddies introduced are lazily made to be Vasto Lourdes? Convoluted writing…
King yet didn't get second release form. I know it was 4 thing but seriously. What if the espada did a sliver from mtg thing and shared their special abilities?
Surprised Baraggan wasn't more OP tbh
He might not be the strongest Espada, or he might have been. What I know is, that he is the last Espada of all of them I'd like to fight. His power is just frightening.
Why would Grimmjow talk to Barragon? It's not like Baragon is king anymore, that's Aizen.
Nah just in general, before/after. There's no narrative connection at all. They literally don't even acknowledge one-another.
In that arc we still have to keep in mind that stark was always like "what a bother" and never fought seriously
Already covered Starrk in a very long video.
Ay I got nothing to do this Saturday night some Clyde crumbs are perfect
King
He is easily the strongest espada even without his realese
He have the power of time
He can slow your movements to the point of becoming a turtle
He alslo can peform a time skip
He even stomp the Fastest captain & with her vice without moving a step without using his weapon (the axe not release) This happened in an episode 275
He also He sat on his chair with full confidence, Although they were fewer in front of a very powerful Shinigami, including the strongest Shinigami ever. Yamamoto and his not even get out his zanpakuto from his throne
Bc he's know if anyone tried to attack while his defense was relaxed, he would slow down his movements and touch him and he would be eliminated even yamamoto know that and he didn't attack him bc they have a past and yamamoto know barragan is terrifying even while barragan challenges him to destroy the pillars
And in the databook kubo said about barragan "His overwhelming strength made him impossible to touch" !!
Then you know that he was not a king for millions of years for nothing
Woah really?
dawg😭 it was stated that stark can cut through his abilities cuz of his reiatsu his hax don't mean shit. stark bullies ulquiorra bullies
@@yousifaref5127 no its not stark but kenpachi, kenpachi can cut respira with full strength
Could you also do a Yammy video to finish off the heavy hitters of the Espada?
Yes.
I wish Baraggan was the Espada with not just one but three forms for his Resurrección. picture we never got to see what he looked like until Aizen begins his assault on the soul society. Imagine we first see him as some arrogant child who acts like they can order anyone around,now picture a fierce battle and Baraggan's on the ropes,uses his first Resurreccion to become a young man whose speed and strength are so great,that even someone like Kenpachi would take serious. Then when that fails he becomes the old man we know and in that form his speed is drastically diminished. But his defensive capabilities are staggeringly high. He tanks hits like nothing but eventually when the enemy's getting the upper hand. That's when he transforms into his final form of the very embodiment of death itself.
It is weird how some characters just never got the chance to interact. Or at least the story never took advantage of it. Baraggan is terrifying. I'd honestly put him as the strongest Espada even with all factors considered. One of the most busted powers in the series which is full of busted powers. And he's just an absolute terror by the nature of his attacks and the damage he can do.
I do think he could have been used a bit better. And honestly he could have had more interesting opponents for him. Soi Fon is underrated and I tend to do that with her too. But outside of "cool" moments like her arm getting wrecked on several levels, I think other opponents would have been more interesting.
Interesting
That was the whole point of the fight. He didn't fight at all. His released form is named arrogante for a reason. As he released his power he just used respira so just his breath of death. In his base form he could catch up to Soi Fon with his speed. The released form should be even faster but he didn't realy move. As an espada he could have used zeros to attack too but it was never a fight for him. In the released state he only used his axe two times as he was anoyed of Hachi and it instantly cutted through his Kido while his respira needed seconds to break through it. But it wasn't like he was seriously attacking. It was more like shaking of an annoying fly.
I think thats the whole point of the fight. A much stronger enemy then Hachi and Soi Fon whould lose because Baraggan whould take them serious.
There are only a few charakters that could beat Baragan. Aizen is the perfect example. Aizen is just the perfect hard counter against baraggan. Underestimating Aizen will trap anyone in Kyoka Suigetsu and that deafeats mostly anyone without a great area effect mass destruction power like Yamamoto. An arrogant person like Baraggan will allways lose against someone like that. After becoming an arrancar that has changed. Now Baraggan has a powerfull area effect mass destruction power. The problem is the one he has does not work for Aizen anymore. If Aizen whould not just block the respira, it whould just trigger the evolution with Hōgyoku which whould turn him into a beeing that does not age.
I agree. IMO he’s the most powerful of the espada as well as my favorite because of his universal ability; which is a representation of death itself. He was terrifying.
It’s a pity that he was underutilized.
I mean in cfyow, they explained that grimmjow, was afraid of barragan the whole time, and he knew he couldn't become king because of how strong barragan was, so I don't get why he would need to interact with grimmjow.
That only adds to my point. This should have been shown in the main series, and instead it's only there because of weird writing by the assistant in the novels. lol.
I'm just gonna leave this here to support ya clyde 👍
Thank you bro
To be fair to Omaeda I feel like I’d be more scared of a walking skeleton too
lol'd
Ah yes that ending I love all those circles the power goes in.
lmao
Soi Fon in my opinion doesn't do herself any favors by having the weakest Vice Captain
lmao
I think Respira can only age kido, but not energy in general, Kido isnt just raw energy but more like "programmed" energy, that doesnt just move straight ahead like a blast, so by aging that "programming" it disperses.
If it aged energy as a whole, it would age itself, and weird stuff like light and sound, meaning even interactions between him and anyone else would be super difficult.
Bruh lol
Respira was aging everthing not just kido. Pay attention to the fight
@@258Loures Thats not what I meant by "can only age kido", of course he can age most stuff, but there are things that just "age" doesnt apply to, like energy.
@@dars1961I get what you mean, light can't age too
The Espadas being talked about are the best show of how dificut Spanish syntax is so hard to wrap your head around (someone natively spanish-speaking)
lmao true
Do you have any plans to make videos about Tosen, Komamura, and Hisagi? I think the community underestimates them too much.
Yea eventually bro
Would have definitely preferred the course of the story being aizen cooperating with baraggan, aizen being more in the background watching the arc unfold and baraggan being as strong as the king of hollows should be and requiring Yamamoto to come into action to defeat baraggan after maybe some sort of truce type thing was broken by baraggan cooperating with aizen. Which would justify why baraggan wasn't eliminated previously
“Sometimes the power scaling is incredibly weird” that actually applies to the Bleach itself, and, more precisely, to the 0-4 Espadas, where Ulqiorra and Barragan are insane powerhouses; Coyote is the guy who has the best speed feat in the whole series, but very poor attacking power; and finally, Tier and Yammy are complete pushovers, with the first failing to defeat Hiyori and Lisa, and the second getting damaged by Senbonzakura.
Nah lol
Oh, and forgot about the whole thing with Vizoreds, who put on masks to kill Gillians
@Argentina Argentina Where he showed 50+ wolves? The most I can remember from the manga is around 20, maybe 30.
Stark has poor attacking power? Lol. Smh.
@@sirsteve8999 Yeah. Her's a pretty overrated and poorly written character. Barragan is just stronger than him, that lazy guy doesn't even deserve top 3 Espada.
it pains me that yamamoto and Baraggan don't have even the smallest of interactions. huge missed opportunity.
cool vid! just one thing, "Respira" translates literally into "breathe", just "breathe", there is no "death" involved in that word.
Sorry, that was the translation I was shown.
'Power levels are bullshit'
Vegeta
I'd disagree on one note that Respira can be negated by spirit pressure. Not least of which because we've seen stronger individuals cut down by weaker attacks in the series and the speech Aizen gives about negation is from an illusion of him in the first place so he's not even the one talking in that scene to Soi Fon. Finally, we do see Aizen affected by kido and other physical abilities from beings far less powerful than he is, such as the attack by Gin on him, or Shinji's reverse perception ability and even Ichigo's initial attacks on him. Respira is stated to be an "Absolute" ability-even upon its wielder, so I very much doubt Stark, Aizen or Yamamoto could just 'negate' Respira with spirit pressure.
To be fair as far as power scaling goes in anime...TFS said it best, "Power Levels are Bullshit!"
Thank you, I feel most people just gloss over that
@@tear4567 it's a line I think gets taken out of context too often and the best explanation to it is that for all his talent, Kubo writes himself into a lot of corners with the powers/ power levels in Bleach that get contradicted a lot or just forgotten about the longer the manga/show run. This gets really noticeable in the Yhwach/Ichibei fight where the battle comes off more like two school children on the playground making up new rules to their game every time each other comes up with a new 'ability'
my fav espada.
yes. over Stark. and Haribel. i love them...
but Barragan is just ... amazing in the idea of the REAL KING OF HUECO MUNDO.
Comment for the algorithm.
King!
Please upload more bleach videos. I love the way you shut down and disapprove these crazy misconceptions. People really do want take everything the novels say as true even though a lot of it hasn't been confirmed Canon
Death isn't stronger than wolves 💀👍
lolll
The whole “if my spiritual power is stronger than yours, I can counter your abilities “ is not necessarely true, because it was stated by Aizen after Soy Fon stabbed him, but we don’t even know if she truly stabbed him or not, since it’s not clear if Aizen was already a copy or not.
Are you ever gonna remake the old espada ranking since it had alot of flaws
Eventually, yes!
Again!!! I dont know if you remember be but I thought the next video would be after 3 months or something keep up the work imma say it again you’re the best bleach scaler at this platform
I already have another script prepared, I’ll record it tomorrow.
Do a video on orihime’s powers.
Nah, James already did. Go watch his video!
@@ClydeRUclipsr already did actually.
I liked the video purely on the power scaling issue you made. Actually made me lol when you went full circle then cut it.
10/10
Gotta remember that Soifon-Omaeda vs Barragàn is a very bad matchup to start with, Oomaeda isnt that impressive but Soifon is a cqc specialist first and foremost, and Barragáns's aging mist surrounds him so her main avenue of attack is gone, her Bankai is too taxing and not focused at all, so even when it should have been close at the time of detonation most of the energy was wasted. People say Stark should be number two but even before factoring the "throw pressure at it" counter to hax, he could have just spammed cero at Barragán until he ran out of mist.
wow interesting
Baraggan was affected by aizen hypnosis even though he's a skeleton with no eyes lol
Yes, he was
Aizen only made him the segunda espada to humiliate him.
Respira is just something else
Barragan gets rolled by Ulquiorra given how he barely took Soi Fon's bankai. Ulquiorra's Lanza would atomize him.
@@stormbringer7773 barely took on Soi Fon's bankai?
Her bankai just broke his skull. He was still fine and dandy after tanking it. Lanza would be reduced to nothing before it even reaches Barragan by Respira. Not even supposedly ageless Kido can do anything against Respira
@@thebigjj4294 Lanza would oneshot Barragan. It's way too fast for Respira to age it given how it crossed the distance of Las Noches and then some in like 2 seconds. Barragan gets decimated.
@@stormbringer7773 I'm sorry bro but anything immediately that Respira touches, for the lack of a better term, disintegrate immediately. I know lanza is fast but Respira is an impenetrable defense and a strong offense at the same time
@@thebigjj4294 then… how did barragan get hurt by soifon?
My read on Barragan was that he was never as powerful as he thought he was. He was never the Hollow equivocal to Yamamoto. In truth, Barragan was a senile old soul, that was min maxed in a meta that had long since been surpassed.
Ulquiorra is the strongest narratively
Thanks for telling the dude who has been spitting that gospel!
Lol why? Even with a second release, ulquiorra always said he was below the next 3. Just because hes cool doesn't mean he just gets the strongest title.
@@AB-wk6ve I'm only saying since he fought the main character of the show and had a second release he had more narrative focus placed on him implying that he was stronger
@@Onyxolotl yeah I can understand that pov. I've always seen people argue that he was the strongest espada just because he gets a second release. Which tbh he needed since his first release was a little lame haha.
Deja vu and YT can't touch Clydes epic bleach content just like you don't tug on Barragans cape
King
I don’t know if it’s correct
In the data book it said
Even with no zankpaktou
He’s still confident in beating aizen
There is actually no way for that aizen to be stronger than Shikai Yama since he’s constantly surprised yama
Only reason he died so fast is the fact that they used his own power against him
If bleach didnt have a specific bull ability of teleporting something inside a person THAT ISNT USED A LOT FOR SOME REASON he wouldve demolished the vizards
he was the most haxed espada,not the strongest, even stark failed to impress me,halibel was rank 3 but she was so underwelming,many rank them after theyre number where its been aperent many are far stronger then theyre number.
Interesting
Respira simply means "breathing"
Maybe Yamamoto looks so old because he got aged by Baraggan? Although, I thought that Baraggan got the ability after getting transformed by Aizen.
Nah, he’s just lived for 3,000 years haha
I think he got respira after that. Before that it looked like hitting someone with his Axe had the same effect as respira.
really underrated espada
No. Short answer.
Wow really?
@@ClydeRUclipsr mhm, But just cuz ive heard Daddy Seth and uncle Chuck talk about itttt.... Also it makes sense generally the way people explain it.
Oww shoot i thought this was new but this was a re-upload to one of the best masterpiece I've watched on this platform. Still worth the watch.
thank you bro
Not Stronger than the Pack.
Starrk subscribed to Vin Diesel.
lmaooooo
0:11 is this why half of your videos are gone? just wondering since i was confused on why they disappeared :(
no he wasn't
You think so?
great video.
thanks Thomas
I think a video about Grimmjows level aftet tybw would be quite interesting
Eventually!
Little did we know this entire channel was all part of Clydes' plan. Not even RUclips Sama can stop him!
lmao
I have absolutely zero problems with Baraggan not being the strongest. Starrk makes a great primera espada because it ties into his theme, he's so powerful his strength alienates him from everyone else. He's also the only espada who became an arrancar under his own power and not via Aizen and the hogyoku, already being one when Aizen arrives. But Barragan's age and backstory is what was mishandled. Is he an ancient being of the same caliber as Yamamoto and Yhwach, or just a typical vasto lordes? What does being king of hueco mundo imply, is it an empty title where he's acknowledged by only a handful of adjuchas class menos like Grimmjow was or did he really rule over hueco mundo entirely? Did the soul society know about him even? Why is his resurreccion simply reverting to his original state as a hollow rather than a hybrid form like the other arrancar? Why is he just a straight up skeleton and not a proper hollow with flesh and a white mask?
The way everyone during the fkt arc treats him, he seems more like a generically powerful self proclaimed ruler over nothing than the king of hueco mundo.
Basically Bleach's lack of serious world building leaves us once again wanting more.
Don't forget as of now Kenpachi is the eldest of the active captains as he was alive before the original Quincy invasion. Kenpachi's arc of power is hard guage because his power reactive not consistent in growth. It has high ceilings and the more times he gets near death the higher access he has to it. The best way we will see his limit only to have an opponent who will try to one shot him right away and unlike unohana, barragan wont be healing him.
Youre wrong unless you mean the doc. Plus you have the 2 old man yama trained shunswi and rukias captain. Kenpachi actually came after the visards were created
🔥🔥🔥 A1 content as always
Thank you bro
This is just a theory I have, myself, but I believe that Baraggan was actually capable of handling Aizen, before he'd acquired the Hogokyuo. Hollows are, I believe, more than a bit territorial and engage in power struggles from time to time. As such, to claim the title of King of the Hollows is not something one could do if they didn't have a considerable amount of strength to back up their words. And if Yamamoto could have bested Aizen, why wouldn't Baraggan, given the degree of power he had with regards to aging and killing things, even Kido?
The answer is fear. Baraggan, despite embodying death and aging, was an extremely fearful individual. He had power in spades, but I'm guessing he's very rarely, if ever, fought anyone he didn't believe he couldn't defeat, before Aizen. So, while he might have been able to win in a fight, before a certain point, Aizen scared him enough that he couldn't work up the nerve to challenge him to a proper bout, winner take all. This is not a trait shared by either Yamamoto nor Yhcwh, as neither one would balk at the idea of having to throw hands with Aizen.
I love how the community take Gins word about Aizens strength but doesn't take Aizen himself saying he is only as strong as Urahara in combat ability. The same Urahara who was shitting him at the thought of fighting Ulquiorra.
Nah, Aizen more-so meant intelligence. Also, Urahara isn't actually a slouch. He was still down to fight Ulquiorra, and he tagged Hogyoku Aizen many times.
I have no idea what all of this is (aside from that it's Bleach) but the dude looks badass
What he can age people till weakness ,but cant beat anyone. When time is on your side, your accention is inevitable.
Short answer : no
Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOO
lmao
@@ClydeRUclipsr thanks for replying
Love your content
The video on my favorite Espada returns. Hype
Hell yea
yamamoto was actually too arrogant to sit in the same table with baraggan
the feel when Japan got razed by Aizen and his Hollow posse and the West Branch of Soul Society doesn't give a shit.
we love the constant drops💯🔥
More next week!
