Let’s have an exercise in futility: ranking the Espada. There have been many number theories and mathematical sequences generated in order to create a logical order to the ranking of the Espada but so far none have been correct. Because I’m bored, let’s talk about what you think the ranking of the Espada might be. There might be spoilers below so don’t click if you’re not caught up with the manga. I have included a picture of the infamous tea party table seating for reference (click for bigger).
Here’s my personal prediction on the ranking:
1. Ulquiorra
2. Nnoitra
3. Stark
4. Old Espada
5. Halibel
6. Grimmjow
7. Zommari
8. Szayelaporro
9. Aaroniero
10. Yammy
Bolded names are the confirmed rankings by manga. All the rest are based on gut feeling with no complicated number sequences or formulas, except for Noitora – I think he is #2 based on what he told Telsa. He thinks he’s the strongest Espada but yet he’s not recognised as the strongest, so this probably means he’s #2. And I think Ulquiorra is #1 because he’s so damn intelligent and analytical, and he is Aizen’s pet as well.
This is the current actual rankings as revealed by the manga, together with my new predictions:
1. Stark
2. Halibel
3. Old Espada
4. Ulquiorra
5. Nnoitra
6. Grimmjow
7. Zommari
8. Szayelaporro
9. Aaroniero
10. Yammy
So let me hear all your theories and predictions on the rankings of the Espada!

i think stark is the type to end up betraying aizen.
i also think that ishda will end up fighting halibel, i dont even think that ichigo will eaven end up fighting ulquiora, as he apears to be a main espada and i dont think they will kill him off so quikley, the most likley thing is ichigo will get ready for his battle onley to bi intorupted by grimjaw.
Stark is the type that would have never had any loyalty to Aizen in the first place. The only reason the Espada follow Aizen is convenience; most of them don’t seem to be unconditionally loyal to him. Arroneiro felt betrayed in the end. Grimmjow and Zaera-Polo clearly work behind Aizen’s back because of their ulterior motives. Noitora is avariciously seeking power and recognition. Stark doesn’t seem to care about much. Not to mention, we don’t know what Ulquiorra’s true motives are. And about the Ichigo/Ulquiorra fight; even if Ulquiorra were to lose, that doesn’t automatically mean he will die. Also, it’s very likely that someone like Noitora or Grimmjow will interupt the battle. For all we know, a few of the Espada may even survive. But unless SS sends its’ forces to Hueco Mundo, there isn’t going to be enough time for all the main characters to fight all the Espada; if Ichigo can’t beat anything more powerful than the 5th Espada, then they’ll need some serious back up. I suspect that Halibel would be smart enough to not rush into a fight though (unless Ishida finds her). My big question about Ulquiorra is this: yes, he may seem very powerful (definately more powerful than Grimmjow), but it would be completely obvious for him to be the 1st Espada. Don’t forget, Ulquiorra did say that Ichigo could at least reach him in power (when Ichigo is at maximum power). I seriously doubt Ichigo is prepared enough to take on the top Espada yet, so unless Ichigo doesn’t end up fighting Ulquiorra, I wouldn’t place him at the top.
i agree with you 100%. in my opinion, i don’t think ichigo should be more powerful than every espada at his current state. (even if he may lose due to the fact he can’t hold his Vaizard mode long). it creates too much of a power gap like, why the hell did he fight the guys in the beginning to struggle?…”Oh, so if he held the mask a slight bit longer, everyone is finished?”….i can understand mastering the mask, but if this is the case, why would Aizen create such a “weaker” army. it makes no sense. Soul Society would have already broken into Hueco Mundo, and defeat everyone I assume. Aizen cannot be THAT dumb. if Ichigo’s max strength can surpass Ulquiorra when he hasn’t even mastered it yet, (of course when it randomly reaches the peak) there would have to be some stronger espadas, unless Aizen is so careless and confident that he and his 2 main henchmen know they’re stronger….that would be stupid though. right now, where ichigo stands, he hasn’t even mastered Zangetsu yet, and we haven’t seen any other forms of Zangetsu yet either. Ichigo has to master Zangetsu, holding his Vaizard form, and Zangetsu in the Vaizard form. Ichigo cannot be strong enough to defeat all of his opponents yet because he’s still “weak.” this is why i cannot see Ulquiorra being espada number 1. if anything, i could see it being Stark or the dark skinned espada….this is all my opinion though.
This Ichigo/Ulquiorra showdown does kinda ruin any rematch with Grimmjow. I agree that Stark and the dark Espada are the most likely candidates for 1st Espada. Now, this may mean nothing, but I was thinking about the way some of them treat each other: Noitora acts somewhat condescending to Ulquiorra and Halibel, but says nothing bad to Stark when told to be quiet. Also, with the inclusion of Noitora, Ulquiorra seems to look down upon some of the other Espada (thinks Grimmjow and Noitora are reckless, think yammy needs to work on his powers of observation, would probably consider Arroneiro and Zaera-Polo foolish for rushing out into fights). Yet, Ulquiorra answered the dark Espada’s question at the meeting (3 intruders, 1 missing) without hesitation.
Now this isn’t finalized, but this is my current list:
1. Dark Espada
2. Stark
3. Noitora
4. Old Espada
5. Ulquiorra
6. Grimmjow Jaggerjack
7. Halibel
8. Zaera-Polo Grantz
9. Arroniero Arleri
10. Yammy
My updated list:
10. Yammy
9. Aaroniero
8. Zael
7. Noitora
6. Grimmjow
5. Halibel
4. Shaft
3. Ulquiorra
2. Grampa
1. Stark
i realized that Guest. i thought about it too. i didn’t really think to much about Ulquiorra’s quick response to the dark espada b4 like that, but he obviously has some respect for him. Stark doesn’t care about anything at all. lol. like u said though, he told Noitora to be quiet, and he said nothing back. Noitora did talk down to Ulquiorra and Halibel though.
We can’t really say too much about Stark’s motivations because we’ve hardly had much time to see him interact with the others unlike Noitora or Grimmjow. All we know is that he seems incredibly lazy.
How the Espada talk to each other seems rather meaningless since it’s not a formal structure like the Gotei 13. The loud ones like Grimmjow and Noitora make a lot of noise and posturing while the calm ones like Ulquiorra and Stark just ignore them.
that’s true as well, but the fact that some of the espadas are more sophisticated, focused, and cautious makes a difference with some of the lower levels that have already been introduced. some of the minor details that just appeal to me are some of the things that seem more superior. for instance one example is that i would can honestly say by the looks of the dark espada is that he’s wise, sophisticated, and somewat has a sense of superiorty. he sits with good posture like someone else pointed out, and his design is fine shaped hollow jewelry. lol. this is just something that i look at. he could be #7 for all i kno, but i just observe a lot, so my other reasons i gave b4 plus this create a perfect reason for me to believe that he is in the top 4.
The sophistication thing is true. The way some of them act (dark Espada, Ulquiorra, Halibel, Stark) would make it seem that they are in the top 5. Stark seems really lazy and tired, but I think we’ll find that he’s alot more powerful than he likes to let on. By actions alone, I would say that Noitora could be 7th Espada, but judging by his sword and strength, he’s almost certainly between 3 and 5. Who knows, maybe he’ll interupt Ichigo’s fight with Ulquiorra and reveal himself as the 5th Espada. Also, although Noitora talked down to Ulquiorra, it doesn’t seem like Ulquiorra thinks much of Noitora either. To gain Ulquiorra’s respect, you’d have to be both intelligent and powerful; Ulquiorra’s respectful demeanor toward the dark Espada makes it seem like he outranks Ulquiorra. I wouldn’t be surprised if Stark outranked Ulquiorra either. Hopefully, the next chapter will give us some foresight into this matter.
Currently, I’d save 7th spot for Halibel or the old Espada. I’m still unsure about Ulquiorra; he could easily be the 1st Espada, he’s definately in the top 5, and his mask does resemble that of a Vasto Lordes. Aizen does seem to put a greater amount of trust in him than in most of the others. Plus, he’s clearly the most developed one so far. But the thing that makes me suspect that he’s not the top Espada is the fact that he admitted that Ichigo at full power could reach, or even top his own power. Since Ichigo’s not ready to take on the top yet, he could take on the 5th Espada.
yeah. that’s the same thing i said earlier about ichigo, and i know that ichigo has a lot to work on. since this is so, other guys out there must be more powerful than ichigo until he masters everything. since this is true, i would assume that Ulquiorra is not espada number one. this is all my guess though becuz anything can be possible.
Yeah Noitora tried to disturb Ulquiorra but he just ignored Noitora’s nonsense and gave an overwhelming explanation on Aizen’s mental cage on Orihime. Then Noitora had nothing left to say.
Ulquiorra is definitely a vastrode though. It’s been hinted at least twice already: first when they had the shadow of a vastrode which had the same mask shape as Ulquiorra, and second when Ishida was talking about the 3 types of menos, he mentioned the gillian, adjuchas and vastrode. The accompanying images to those 3 were Edorado(gillian), Yammy (adjuchas) and Ulquiorra (vastrode).
I agree that Ulquiorra is definately a Vasto Lorde. But looking at the image of the example Adjuchas, which resembled Yammy, it seems to just be an example. I mean, look at Zaera-Polo and Grimmjow (both of which I expect to be Adjuchas); they are alot more powerful and much different in appearance to the example one that looked like Yammy. For all we know, the example Vasto Lorde resembling Ulquiorra is just a low level Vasto Lorde. There could even be a couple more Vasto Lordes in the Espada. Judging from the information given, Ulquiorra could easily be the top one, but someone will have to interupt their fight (most likely Noitora or Grimmjow) if that’s the case.
that’s true, but we don’t know exactly how many vasto lordes are in the espadas right now either. i say this because vasto lordes are the espadas that have the most humanoid form before they become arrancar. there’s no proof right of how many espadas looked human b4 they became arrancar. that’s why we can’t say too much. for all we know, most of them could be vasto lordes leaving a couple as adjuchas, or most could be adjuchas like most assume. we could all be hit with a shocker, so you never know. right now, a spoiler (supposedly true, but don’t know) claims that Ulquiorra is espada number 3, and Halibel is 5. the only reason why i bring this up is because, if this “spoiler” happens to be true, it would be unexpected to most people even though they guessed something different. that’s all i wanna point out.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ulquiorra was the 3rd Espada. I’m expecting (and hoping) that the dark Espada and Stark are the top 2. Now, this is all a preliminary guess, but I’d say that there are 3 (5 at the most) Vasto Lordes in the Espada. If I were to assume that this “spoiler” is true, I’d say that 4th and 7th slots are open for Noitora and the old Espada. I could be completely wrong though; the old one could be the top Espada as well. But I’ve noticed that the dark Espada seems observant and highly intelligent; and Stark, even though he acts tired all the time, was also observant enough to realize that Arroneiro died.
sounds reasonable. it just so tricky to me sometimes cuz i could believe noitora or the old man is 7. but sometimes i think if noitora is 7, how delusional is he to claim that he’s the strongest? it makes better sense if he’s saying this in the top 3, but at the same time, he can be trying very hard to prove himself….it’s crazy. can’t wait to see who number 7 is.
Yeah that’s why I think Noitora is #2 because of how he think he’s the strongest but Aizen doesn’t recognise it as such. He’s clearly more intelligent than Grimmjow or Yammy from the way he thinks and acts, besides his crazed look when encountering Chad.
I’m expected Ulquiorra to be in the top 3 but of course my personal guess is #1. Stark is also in the top 3 for me. Actually for Stark, Ulquiorra and Noitora, any of them could be #1 in my eyes.
The dark Espada could be placed higher but as we know from Zaelapollo, intelligence is not equal to power or ranking. Zaelapollo is probably a very intelligent adjuchas, hence his very human look but low ranking.
b4 i would’ve thought that Ulquiorra was in the top three, but i have several reasons now of why i don’t currently. through my opinions, i’ll explain the sequence that i’ve overlooked b4 i restate the seating pattern again. in the beginning, it was reasonable to introduce the 10th espada, Yammy. they didn’t wanna tell us Ulquiorra’s ranking. when ever since ichigo entered hueco mundo, the story has been introducing the lower level espadas, or introducing them almost “chronoligically,” but in a specific range. espada 10 was clear. then they introduce Noitora, wat number could he have been? they didn’t tell us, but instead introduced espada #9, Aaroniero. after him espada #8, Zaera-Polo. this left a gap for espada seven. we already new that espada 6 was Grimmjow. judging from Chad not being able to hurt Noitora, he should have faced a lower level espada. it would still make sense for Noitora to be espada number 7 because Kubo obviously did not want to introduce the top 4. it seems strange for Noitora’s claim of being the strongest, but he can be “delusional.” there are those that are stongly thickheaded, and he’s proven to be so. this automatically makes chad outmatched that someone stonger than chad, like ishida would have to face him. Ichigo had already matched with Grimmjow, so there was a new approach, Ulquiorra vs Ichigo. this still keeps the secrecy of the top 4 espadas, even if Aizen has great trust in Ulquiorra. he is not the only one that has proven to be loyal and wise. this gives the perfect chance of making Ulquiorra espada number 5. then boom, the top 4 remain cautious of wat to do because Aaronier has perished. espada five is taking charge, leaving the other four to wait until it is necessary to take charge. i guess that the old man is number 4. hali-bel waits to make a move (i guess she is number 3). the dark skinned espada as number 2 meditates. while espada number 1′s lazy ass goes to sleep. since in my opinion all the espadas five and under have been in combat or are starting to engage in combat, i believe that it has reflected in my earlier guess about the seating arrangement. since i kept rankings in my head in which the espadas were introduced i put 2 and 2 together. these are the rankings
9 10
3 4 ——–Hali-bel and old man
7 8
1 2 ——–Stark and dark skinned espada
5 6
all the other espadas have been introduced longer, and the pattern shows that the top four in this seating arrangement are still barely known in the story leaving all the others “known.”
Well, you’re pattern could work, but it seems too predictable. Also, what if halibel was 4th, old Espada 3rd, Stark 2nd, and the dark Espada was the top? Still, Noitora’s zanpakuto looks alot more powerful than it should be at 7th Espada level (though it could be to just mislead people into thinking Noitora’s stronger than he really is).
According to wikipedia, Ulquiorra is now listed as the 5th Espada. This is probably incorrect, but I just thought I’d throw that out there in case anyone was interested.
hmmm…..IF the ranking of Ulquiorra become’s correct, so far my prediction is working as follows. that’s true thought, that if my pattern is correct, there is the possibility that instead of old man 4, Hali-bel 3, dark-skinned espada 2, Stark 1, the order CAN be Hali-bel 4, old man 3, Stark 2, dark skinned espada 1. i’m not saying that every single thing they show is according to an order, but according to the way they were introducing the top for in ch. 269, i still keep my prediction of the top 4. Stark was shown last, dark-skinned espada 2nd to last. only old man and Hali-bel seemed to mix up in their introduction. but i’d say the pattern is working pretty good so far at least.
Yeah, I’d just make sure not to rely too much on this. The only place it says his supposed rank is right below his picture (when you look under arrancar and click his name). Take it with a grain of salt; if it’s true, cool, but I kinda doubt it. I was just throwing it out in case anyone wanted to know.
I definitely do not trust what Wikipedia says at all since anyone can just go and edit the information there. Your ranking by seating pairs is interesting and we can only confirm/deny it with more information. Besides, there’s too much story invested into Ulquiorra by Kubo for him to be a lowly 5th rank.
Well, I just checked and it was taken down, much as I expected it to be. I didn’t really believe it though, I was simply putting it out there for more discussion. I realize that Ulquiorra is by far the most developed Espada so far, but Ichigo has no chance against him if he’s any stronger than 5th; and 5th Espada is not weak, by and means. I guess all I’m trying to say is that if I created this story, I certainly wouldn’t introduce the top Espada first; I would save the top ones for later.
I suppose that Kubo Tite wanted to make his top Espada someone who was quite involved in the story aka Ulquiorra so that the main hero (Ichigo) has more reason to fight him or be involved somehow with him. It’s pointless to suddenly reveal the top Espada later on when he doesn’t have as much development and becomes just another bad guy to be defeated.
makes sense. at the same time, they could possibly develop into more of the characters. if Ulquiorra ends up being espada 5, there still is the huuuuge chance that ichigo still can’t win. even though he murked grimmjow with his mask, he didn’t hold it long enough, which means he failed to beat him. we can assume that ichigo can barely beat grimmjow unreleased. released can be a problem. so if Ulquiorra is number 5, that’s another level of strength, plus his released form. they can possibly stop it there with ichigo, and make him lose so he can be rescued or return home and train. because in the SS arc, he never fought Ukitake, Shunsui, or Yamamoto. they probably would’ve spanked him (my guess lol), and maybe the healing female captain (Aizen was impressed that she was able to tell that something was wrong with Aizen’s fake corpse even while she was under complete hypnosis). instead ichigo ended up fighting Byakuya (the one we all assumed to be the top captain). we still don’t know much about all the captains in Soul Society as well, so it can be the same concept in Hueco Mundo with the Espadas.
The latest chapter pretty much confirms that Ulquiorra should be in the top 3. Ulquiorra bare-handed blocked all the hits of bankai vizard Ichigo and yet didn’t even have a scratch. He’ll probably bleed a bit next week and start to actually fight seriously but still unreleased.
that’d be tight. i saw the much. it was sick. ichigo seems like he may get pwned. wat’s he gonna pull from his sleeve this time. lol
i saw the match*
Top 3 makes sense. I personally wouldn’t put him higher than 3rd though. I’d suspect that Stark and possibly the dark Espada (or maybe the old one) are stronger. I could be wrong though. Hopefully next chapter will reveal something about Ulquiorra’s ranking.
Here is my ranking of the espada:
1. Bored guy
2. Ulquiorra
3. Noitora
4. Dark Chick
5. Black guy…
6. Grimmjow
7. Old guy
8. Glasses
9. Aaroniero
10. Yammi
I am 90% sure Ulquiorra is not #1 because that would just be too boring and predictable, but he is probably top 3 because of all the events in the manga (he is either ranked 2 or 3). The bored-looking guy is definitely top 3. Noitora wouldnt be top 3 if he didn’t brag… so I am no sure about him… but he did beat up chad pretty easily…
and the black chick is probably 3/4 too because we need a chick up there in the ranks.. XD (+ she looks pretty cool)
The black guy and the old guy seem to be the weakest of the remaining unrevealed espadas, and I got a feeling chad will be fighting the old guy so… he is #7
Ishida will probably fight the girl… unless Yourochi shows up in Hueco Mundo (which I think is quite possible). If Yorouchi does show up, Ishida will probably end up fighting the black guy.. so putting him as #5 makes sense. Also, if Yorouchi shows up that means Uruhara will too!! Aizen vs Uruhara!! I really hope that will happen!
I also have a feeling the vizards will show up too and shinji will fight noitora.
as for who would fight the bored guy… my first instinct is: No one
The bored guy seems to be a pretty nice guy and lazy too… I feel like he will briefly show us his power and release and eventually give up after a fight with whoever because of his good nature(maybe because of orihime? = this is completely random.. XD)
This guy also reminds me of captain shunsui, which turned out to be one of the strongest in Soul Society but didn’t really show us a fight… Same thing might happen in Hueco Mundo….
Anyways… There still seems to be a lot remaining to this arc so I don’t think it will be ending soon which I am quite happy about
Oh and if the pink haired guy didn’t tell his ranking I would have ranked him higher… so my rankings could be way off…
Updated Ranking Guess:
1. Dark Espada
2. Stark
3. Ulquiorra
4. Noitora
5. Halibel
6. Grimmjow
7. Old Espada
8. Zaera-Polo
9. Yammy
As much as I’d like any of the Vizards to show up, I doubt they will because if they did get him, Aizen will never let them get out again. He won’t just sit back and watch the show, he’ll probably direct all the Espadas to hunt them down.
i know that as of now, everyone is predicting that Ichigo will get murked by Ulquiorra. i kind of am too, but i realized that even though Ichigo is a Vaizard, isn’t it possible for him to have a released form? we saw his complete inner hollow when he was training. this means that maybe he can tap into it as a transformation similar to the arrancar. if this is so, he can possibly be way stronger. this is just something i looked at. i’m guessing that probably eventually this can happen, but as for now, i believe that ichigo is just going to get get pwned for the time being. lol and i still think that Ulquiorra can be espada 5.
Nah. That’s because becoming a Vizard means to hold your shinigami form with access to hollow powers. The hollow form of Ichigo needs to be arrancarised first before he can have a ‘release’, and even then he won’t be a Vizard or even Ichigo anymore, just another powerful hollow.
I think maybe both the vizards and arrancars are trying to reach the same form – the ultimate perfect shinigami/hollow hybrid.
I was thinking about the aftermath of Arroniero’s death. Does anyone think he’ll be replaced (perhaps with Wonderwice or some other arrancar)? Or do you think Yammy will move up one notch and the Espada will stay at 9 members? Personally, I would find it very tiring if they kept on replacing the dying Espada. Though, that may be the plan; get rid of the weaker ones to make room for the Vasto Lordes. I suspect that a few current Espada will survive. Maybe the whole point of the current arc is to eliminate the weaker Espada, introduce the Vasto Lordes as future Espada members, and prepare for Aizen’s war (which may include rematches with current/future Espada). Thoughts, opinions?
i am almost 90 precent sure ulquiorra is not number 1 since why would number 1 be equal to or weaker then 100 percent ichigo. personally i think he is just in the range of number 5-3 espada. The chick, old guy, Stark are definity top five. but i’m unsure about noitora and the guy with studs.
There’s a possibility that Wonderwice might become the #9 Espada since there was no real reason for him to be introduced until now. As for the elimination of weaker Espada, we’ll have to see how the battle between Renji and Zaelapollo goes first.
As cool as Ulquiorra is, I don’t think he’s the top Espada. On the other hand, I don’t think he’s 5th or 7th Espada either. 5th would work, but it would be kinda strange for Grimmjow to end up speechless at Ulquiorra’s comment (that he’d take care of Ichigo himself if it came to it) if there was only a 1 number difference. Also, we have to consider just how many Vasto Lordes are currently in the Espada. There’s Ulquiorra, but what about the others? Noitora, strong as he may be, doesn’t seem careful or analytical enough to be a Vasto Lorde. The old Espada also made prior cocky remarks about Ichigo’s group. Take a look at the example Adjuchas and Vasto Lordes; they look almost exactly like Yammy and Ulquiorra. Maybe Yammy and Ulquiorra are just the weakest examples of their respective classes. I would expect Ulquiorra to be much stronger than Grimmjow, but still leave a gap between him and the top Espada: he has to be strong enough to present Ichigo with his toughest battle yet, but weak enough that Ichigo still has a ways to go before reaching the top (present and possibly future) Espada and Aizen once their battle is over. Also, the dark Espada seems highly observant and Stark was able to shut Noitora up. I think those two (ranking wise) are interchangable. Anyways, I’ll reiterate my current Espada ranking:
1. Dark Espada
2. Stark
3. Ulquiorra
4. Noitora
5. Halibel
6. Grimmjow
7. Old Espada
8. Zaera-Polo
9. Yammy
And as far as Wonderwice goes, do we know (for a fact) that he’s stronger than Yammy? Anyways, with the coming of the Vasto Lordes, I wouldn’t be surprised if Yammy and Grimmjow (along with the 7th Espada) are forced out of the Espada ranks. Honestly, I don’t expect Zaera-Polo to survive his fight with Renji. Maybe this would be the end of Yammy; he’d just leave and that would be the end of his story. I suspect Grimmjow would fight back and get himself killed (possibly by Aizen or Tousen). I don’t know about Ulquiorra, Noitora, and Halibel, but if there’s a new arc involving Aizen’s war after this one, I’d expect that at least the dark Espada and Stark would remain in the ranks of the Espada.
I read all of this, and I noticed no one mentioned that Ichigo is the main character, unless Aizan is going to win the war, Ichigo can’t die. I’ve never heard of someone who is not a main character beat the main bad guy, and Ichigo is the most powerful of the main characters. I never believed that Ulquiorra was he first Espada, but I do think that he is one of the top three. This is my list-
1. Stark
2. Ulquiorra
3. Noitora
4. Black guy
5. Halibel
6. Grimmjow Jaggerjack
7. Old man
8. Zaera POlo Grantz
9. Aaroniero Arleri
10. Yammy
I think the old guy is 7th because of the way he acts.
Guest: Although you say that Noitora isn’t careful or analytical to be a vastrode, there’s really nothing that says a vastrode has to be intelligent at all. For example Zaelapollo seems fairly intelligent but I’m sure he’s just an adjuchas.
As for Wonderwice, we know nothing about him at all which is what makes his existence a mystery. He doesn’t add anything to the story at all until now where he might be the replacement for #9.
I wonder about Wonderwice. he seemed to be very powerful due to his actions. obliviously dealing with the enemy, he’s proven to have abilities that we haven’t quite seen yet. Urahara makes him sound skilled.
i also decided to illustrate my espada rank predictions lol here it is.
damn it didn’t show up. lol i must of did it wrong. how do i post up pics? lol
I just saw the new Bleach introduction, and the espadas are standing in the same order as they are sitting in the manga picture. i’m sticking with my prediction because it makes sense. lol

Ulquiorra has been confirmed as the 4th Espada. The zigzag theory doesn’t work any longer.
i guess it doesn’t, but i must wait for the final conclusions to close it. lol
Are the chapter 271 spoilers confirmed as fact yet? If they’re REALLY true, what else happened in the chapter? Any new Espada names or numbers (excluding Ulquiorra)?
I’ve checked on Ulquiorra’s ranking, and it is confirmed that Ulquiorra is officially espada number 4. you can actually find the pictures with him revealing it. looks like my theory went down the toilet. lol i COULD create another one, lol, but i think i will keep this one to myself……if i was to just guess off the top of my head….it’s like this now
1 Stark
2 dark espada or Noitora
3 dark espada or Noitora
