@Syneiam:
I fully respect your view and I agree with the idea of inner-strength. I was arguing mainly on the idea of tangible power. No doubt many females in Bleach have great willpower. But do they actually have the power to fight someone like Shunsui or Stark? No. Not in my opinion at least. Maybe Unohana or Yoruichi but they are very much the exceptions.

Grimmjow is not fucking stronger than Kenpachi
Pre-Bankai Ichigo was equal to Kenpachi.
Post-Bankai Ichigo could barely scratch unreleased Grimmjow.
Bankai = 10 times stronger.
Thus an Ichigo at least ten times stronger than he was against Kenny (when he was his equal) is weaker than a weakened Grimmjow.
Tousen used a damn level 54 Hadou on an already weakened Grimmjow
...weakened? Grimmjow took Ichigo's getsuga tensho like it was nothing and told him even if he could spam it, it wouldn't be enough to help him win.
So less weakened and more mildly inconvenienced.
And it was only his detached arm. The amount of reishi in just a severed limb would be extremely easy to incinerate compared to the entire spiritual body of a goddamn Captain mid combat who's touted as one of the strongest in Soul Society history.
Except he already severed the limb with ease...so why can't he burn it exactly?
Says the guy who boasted about how Nel was beating Nnoitra...while failing to mention Nnoitra was not at full strength while Nel was.
Kenpachi raped Nnoitora, who was the 5th Espada, and Grimmjow is merely the 6th. It's simple math fromthere.
Except Nnoitra and Grimmjow fight in completely different ways. Bleach may be bad but it's not DBZ bad. Having a higher power level doesn't always equal victory.
To beat Kenpachi, all Grimmjow would have to do is fly up in the air and shoot down Gran Rey Ceros. Or those darts that could shatter giant pillars like nothing.
There's jack-all Kenny could do to mount an offense.
Now you're just being retarded. Vegeta's weak and irrelevant to the plot then. As is everyone else who isn't Goku or Gohan.
Tell me again. Who was it that had a dramatic showdown with Goku in the first stages of the Buu Saga? Who fused with Goku to make the strongest fighter in Z history? Who distracted Kid Buu long enough for Goku to gain the power to defeat Kid Buu?
Vegeta is very relevant to the plot.
SHE ALREADY BEAT VEGETA, TRUNKS AND PICCOLO. So that's a stupid question.
AND TAO BEAT GOKU BACK IN THE RED RIBBON ARC.
Guess what? No one gives a shit because Goku is several million times stronger than Tao.
Fuck, Master Roshi beat Goku too. Is Master Roshi a powerfula nd significant character in Z now? lol
Does that mean Master Roshi was never the champion of the Tenkaichi Budokai?
Nope. But it means he doesn't matter whatsoever in the Saiyan Saga and onwards.
Guess Ukitake isn't either since he didn't beat any of the Espada, and he's a fucking senior Captain! Uh oh! Same with Love and Rose!
Did not and could not = different.
Ukitake would pwn pretty much every Espada.
Your standards fail harder than a Twilight and Harry Potter crossover fanfic.
I'm merely acknowledging the truth. By the end of Z, most of the characters didn't matter. That's the truth.
If you fail to see that, it's not my problem.
Also, some of the Espada have unique traits. Nnoitra is supposed to be the most durable. Zommari
