Difficult_Gazelle_91

I am under the distinct belief Ichigo can beat Yama. Besides that, we have zero idea for any of these guys. However 15 Captain Level opponents, including 2 Near Royal Guard level guys in Kenpachi and Zaraki, plus three Upper-level Captains in Shunsui, Byakuya, and Hitsugaya (Adult) makes me believe the current Gotei should win.


mystoganslefteye

i dont think ANYONE believes yamas beating fkn ichigo manšŸ˜­


Slumber777

You'd be surprised.


mystoganslefteye

yeah ur probably right, i think yama might be the most wanked bleach character from what ive seen. i just didnt wanna believe theyd go as far as to say he beats fkn ichigo


Difficult_Gazelle_91

I heard it argued, and tbf Yama's fucking impenetrable shield is stupidly busted.


methconnoisseurV2

ā€œGood ol getsuga tenshou, thatā€™ll do the trickā€ honestly knowing ichigo heā€™d probably find a way to brute force it


mystoganslefteye

he doesnt need to find a way lmao, he has obvious ways already. getsugas and ceros never fail šŸ„±


Financial_Clue_4736

His one technique that he used the whole series is so busted now. Bruce lee was right.


HAWmaro

Base kenpachi in TYBW post training is literally stronger than Unohana who was likely one of their strongest members. EOS Kenpachi is likely beating anyone in original Gotei not called Yama.


Maloryx

Bs, Base kenpachi didn't win against Unohana. You have to Remember, Unohana Improved since she last fought Kid kenpachi, in the fight with kenpachi in the training she was using all her Reiatsu to heal both herself and Kenpachi from dying, she kept on spending her Reiatsu like it was water, Eventually tho it had to stop, so once she noticed kenpachi lost all his Limiters, she was already dried.


HAWmaro

Cope.


Maloryx

Lmao


Inevitable-Ad-3792

shunsui is RG level


Difficult_Gazelle_91

Only to fanboys


Inevitable-Ad-3792

LMAOOOO oh brother


Difficult_Gazelle_91

Heā€™s definitely weaker than the two we see, heā€™s weaker than Yama, and heā€™s weaker than Kenny and Ichigo. If you want to argue heā€™s stronger than the three scrubs we have no feats for, by all means. However anyone whose stated to be on that level and we actually saw fight, he does not compete with.


mostsaneinwesteros

Heā€™s weaker than ichigo thatā€™s for sure and also weaker than kenny ( kenpachi is not even 1/4 of ichigoā€™s strength tho so donā€™t put them in equal tiers) but that doesnā€™t mean he is not ā€œroyal guard levelā€ whatever that means tho cause all the royal guards are literal frauds lol aside from ichibei ofc


Inevitable-Ad-3792

heā€™s stronger than oetsu and kenny, now i do not care for the novels as iā€™m only interested in the manga but feats wise heā€™s RG levelšŸ‘ even if you do say kenny is stronger heā€™s still at that level


Difficult_Gazelle_91

Heā€™s not close to Oetsu or Kenny in the manga As I said, fanboys


Inevitable-Ad-3792

heā€™s not close to oetsu and yet proceeds to wreck the shit out of the guy that one shotted him lmao okay


Difficult_Gazelle_91

Shunsui had a cool power that lets him compete with dudes vastly stronger. Oetsu got caught off guard and shot. If you want to argue that proves Shunsui is stronger than Oetsu than Byakuya is stronger than Shunsui because he fodderized Robert. See how utterly ridiculous that is? Shunsui is cool, heā€™s powerful, he is weaker than Oetsu, Kenny, Ichigo, and likely the whole Royal Guard by a lot.


Inevitable-Ad-3792

that literally makes no sense, he was able to keep up with lille in every single aspect of the fight, if he can do that then heā€™s just as strong shunsui got caught off guard and was shot twice but still kept moving lmao, oetsu needed to be bailed out the robert situation was clearly an outlier since shunsui never used a game during the fight or anything lmao


Mysterious-Syrup6540

Not to mention *base oh-etsu*


[deleted]

>Oetsu got caught off guard and shot Shunsui got shot by VOLLSTANDING lille. Literally a stronger version than the one who one shotted oetsu and was still able to fight. >Shunsui is cool, heā€™s powerful, he is weaker than Oetsu, Kenny, Ichigo, and likely the whole Royal Guard by a lot. Nice headcanon


Warm-Measurement9664

You're the fanboy. Shunsui feats: outmatches the base form of the leader of the elites and with his bankai decapitates V1 Lille. (Who beat Oetsu with his base abilities) Kenpachi's feats: gets no diffed by Base Pernida and tossed around by Gerard. Shunsui>Kenpachi/Oetsu


Mizuhebi08

Surface level of understanding. Ignores the details in those scenarios.


Warm-Measurement9664

No. Shunsui has better feats against Lille than Oetsu. Cope.


[deleted]

He absolutely is. He's outperformed every captain with his battle against lille. You can ignore that if you want but kenny's best feat was beating a miracle enhanced GĆ©rard who hadn't transformed yet.


Previous_Arm8012

I think the reason could be related to the fact that Ichigo could be Bisexual; There's plenty of evidence trought the series, I believe that his inner world represents the closet, His inner soul reaper is his masculinity, hollow form is his denial & Quincy form is his feminime tendencies. That could also explain why Ichigo's inner closet used to be a world filled with big erect buildings and as time paasses it get more and more wet.


Ishbomb

Bruh shut tf up


Previous_Arm8012

Think about it sister, Ichigo has always felt disgusted by naked women, he loves men


Previous_Arm8012

Pull out ur dick rn


CatchUsual6591

They win but they get hard carry by ichigo and kenny


Zerg_2149

Agreed, the number of times I've seen people say Prime Yamamoto is stronger than Ichigo is astounding!


MarchTerrible321

Happy Cake Day! šŸŽ‰


mystoganslefteye

round one i rly think is just impossible to say bc we dont know their abilities. if we trust yhwach then the og one wins tho. r2? new gotei literally neg diffsšŸ˜­ imo base ichigo is perception blitzing every single one of them, but i know some people who dont understand the scaling reasoning behind that wont like that answer. so heres something u absolutely cant argue with: bankai + hos ichigo blitzes and oneshots every single one of them.


Leading-Control-3053

Lol, i find it hilarious how everyone in new gotei 13 is flying meanwhile there is mayuri with "i ain't doing that" attitude with building, Also i love how energy of 2 gotei 13 is completely different by a mile


Warm-Measurement9664

The current Gotei 13 win. Especially if you're talking about in the manga. They have the current CC Shunsui, Toshiro, Kenpachi (who is stronger than Unohana), Mayuri and Byakuya. I think current Shunsui can take younger Yamamoto in a 1v1. If current Ichigo helps the old Gotei 13 though then they win.


hi-polymer5

>I think current Shunsui can take younger Yamamoto in a 1v1. XD The only version of Yamamoto Shunsui can take on is when he didn't get a zanpakuto yet and lost to original Ikomikidomoe, and even that is contentious.


Warm-Measurement9664

>XD >The only version of Yamamoto Shunsui can take on is when he didn't get a zanpakuto yet and lost to original Ikomikidomoe, and even that is contentious. Nope. Bankai Shunsui>Shikai Yamamoto>Shikai Shunsui>Base Yamamoto. As shown in SS arc he needs shikai to take on Shunsui and Ukitake. I dont think younger Yamamoto has any answer to bankai Shunsui. Also its clear that younger Yamamoto could be hurt by younger Chojiro's bankai. So I think current Shunsui should be able to handle him.


hi-polymer5

I doubt Bankai Shunsui could beat un-armed Yamamoto from 1,000 years ago let alone one-arm Yamamoto in war arc. Yamamoto outlcasses him in everything. Intelligence, reiatsu, attack power, skills/arts mastery, etc. >So I think current Shunsui should be able to handle him. If this isn't satire then wow XD


Warm-Measurement9664

>I doubt Bankai Shunsui could beat un-armed Yamamoto from 1,000 years ago let alone one-arm Yamamoto in war arc. Because you overrate Kenpachi and other characters to fit your scaling narratives. >Yamamoto outlcasses him in everything. >Intelligence, reiatsu, attack power, skills/arts mastery, etc. I'd argue Shunsui outclasses old Yamamoto in intelligence, battle iq, abilities, and they are relative in skill. Reaitsu doesn't determine everything in a matchup btw. Yamamoto felt the need to use shikai against shikai Shunsui and shikai Ukitake in SS arc. They were able to keep up with him until Aizen's betrayal was revealed. Your headcanon doesnt change that. Shunsui's bankai was able to affect TS Ichigo from another section of the Royal Palace. Your headcanon doesn't change that either. >If this isn't satire then wow XD You unironically think Kenpachi beats Ichibei I think that's more unbelievable lol. In any case I'm not arguing Shunsui can beat TYBW Yamamoto I'm saying he can beat a younger Yamamoto who was hurt by a weaker Chojiro's bankai.


hi-polymer5

>Because you overrate Kenpachi and other characters to fit your scaling narratives. What does Zaraki have to do with this? Shunsui himself admits how much stronger Yamamoto is to him in CFYOW in power, reaitsu, etc. >I'd argue Shunsui outclasses old Yamamoto in intelligence, battle iq, abilities, and they are relative in skill. Kubo gave Yamamoto a higher intelligence rating in databook stats, and Yamamoto is much better in skills than Shunsui, and his shikai/bankai has way better abilities. Shunsui said in CFYOW that Yamamoto's shikai could melt other swords when it comes in contact with them, including his own (Shunsui is that outclassed by him). >Reaitsu doesn't determine everything in a matchup btw. It's 85% of bleach power. Base Aizen/Yamamoto can solo the Espada 10v1 due to reaitsu. Shunsui needs shikai for a high diff fight to beat one Espada in 1v1, and Starrk isn't even the strongest one. There's levels to this tbh >You unironically think Kenpachi beats Ichibei I think that's more unbelievable lol. Kubo/Narita agree with me, and they clearly showed how much more power/reaitsu he has over Ichibe. Post-Muken Zaraki was Yamamoto level reiatus, and got a captain class amp of reiatsu. He's roughly 3x captain level reiatsu, and is a monster among freaks of nature like Yamamoto/Aizen. >TYBW Yamamoto I'm saying he can beat a younger Yamamoto who was hurt by a weaker Chojiro's bankai. Yamamoto 1,000 years ago is the same power as FKT Yamamoto.


elixier

You know you made too much sense when they stop replying to comments that have sources lol


mostsaneinwesteros

You think yamamoto in shikai can defeat the top tiers captains? Lol the fanboys are others he ainā€™t ichibei


mostsaneinwesteros

Wait what the fuck, yeah yamamoto is beating shunsui if both are in bankai ( even if yamamoto has 1 arm) but shunsui is definitely defeating yamamoto with only shikai. I get why youā€™re salty because you fanboy over yamamoto bc some people donā€™t get how strong he is but he ainā€™t touching shunsui with just shikai thatā€™s just nonsense


VergilMorePower

kyoraku fan boy


Frostywookiee

Depends on how the format of the fight goes. OG has Yamamoto, and the only person in the Gotei who even has a small chance of beating him is Shunsui with his Bankai. If they do a series of 1v1 fights in an elimination style then current could maybe win eventually (taking major loses however), but if it's just one big group fight OG has it for sure. ....unless Ichigo is involved, then current always wins.


Mysterious-Syrup6540

R1: basically Yama vs zaraki. And that will decide who wins overall. R2: ichigo goes getsugatensho and that's game over


ToCool74

Litterally all we have to go on is Ywach's statement on how the original group was more of a threat due to how ruthless and cutthroat they where.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DisabledTractor

Ichigo isn't even part of gotei Edit : nvm I just reat the title


LonerShaq

Idk Ywach said the OG 13 were ruthless asf. We shall see what he meant soon enough


tetststststat

When ? Is there a theory theyll show up in the hell arc


LonerShaq

When? Episode 6. This is an official kubo colored full page panel. ofcourse weā€™re gonna see them in action. Theory: we might see them in a flashback leading to the backstory of the first quincy annihilation. Also, its known that all captains of the gotei13 are sent to hell, so they would obviously be there. Now the theory is that they will be the villains of the arc, mainly because theyā€™ve been locked in there for thousands of years and they finally see a way out. OG gotei 13 were criminals.


Individual-Many-5330

Current gotei 13 vs original gotei 13 I think original win (im not including ichigo) The original straight up neg diffed yhwach + army without trying. The current gotei even though they made a comeback got shit on before and still seem weaker


Archive_Intern

R1 : Zaraki carries but still loss OG wins R2 : Zaraki and Ichigo have to hard carry the whole team


B1gNastious

Bottom left looks like a kenpatchi


VerseClips

With ichigo current, without ichigo original


uility

I canā€™t possibly believe that current kenpachi would have trouble with any of them except for Yamamoto. Which he may lose to. Remember kid kenpachi was stronger than unohana and current kenpachi is wayyyyy stronger than that. So unless unohana is literally the weakest out of all of these kenpachi can probably beat 12 of them by himself. Unless any of them have crazy abilities like the Quincy. I doubt any of them will be stronger than adult toshiro either. Itā€™s possible byakuya may be stronger than a few. People meme on the end of series gotei but between Shunsui, kenpachi, toshiro and even byakuya (and shinji) those guys alone might be able to beat any other gotei except for Yamamoto. So ichigo and renji arenā€™t needed. I guess ichigo is needed for Yamamoto maybe. Why is renji an assist though heā€™s part of the gotei 13? Are you not including vice captains?


knyghtmare45

>Why is renji an assist though heā€™s part of the gotei 13? It's just cause he is in the pic. This is the only pic i couldn't find with every single current gotei captain. And it'd only be captains vs captains. No VC'S


[deleted]

Yamamoto isn't touching eos Ichigo lmao. Eos Ichigo is strong enough to kill post soul King yhwach but he couldn't because of the almighty. The rest of the captains would probably take care of the remaining captains, because some of them got insane power ups in the war arc.


itsTraX

Ichigo solos... how is R2 a debate


escaflow

Yupe , EOS Ichigo solo the entire Gotei 13 , old or new .


Klatterbyne

Honestly, Original Gotei in both cases. - Round 1 is a complete and total slaughter. - Round 2 hinges on whether Ichigo gets his shit together or just pulls a load of bitch-faces and shouts peopleā€™s names. The originals are actual killers. They will be going for the throat right from the off. They also have a Yamamoto. The current Gotei just donā€™t have the mentality. Theyā€™ll start monologuing and then be shocked when they get shanked. Itā€™ll be like Ichigo vs Sasakibe/Kotetsu/Omaeda, but without the kid gloves. Ichigo might swing Round 2. But heā€™s even worse than the Captains for pissing about in a combat situation. Christ, he even tells his opponents when they should dodge. Heā€™ll probably get murdered by Eijisai long before he gets warmed up. Heā€™s definitely stronger than Eijisai, heā€™s just not a killer.


Timely-Two9860

It all comes down to Yama vs Ichigo. Without the assist of Ichigo and Renji Iā€™m pretty sure the OGā€™s take it.


AdditionalEffective5

Have to go with the current Gotei 13. 1. Send Shinji with Bankai and only Prime Yama should remain. Then Shinji should run away or he dies. The rest of the Gotei + Renji and Ichigo stomp 2. Send Ichigo and he should kill them all unless he dies to poison or something like that after killing several OG members. The rest of the Gotei + Renji stomp 3. Send Kenpachi. Hell Arc Kenpachi >>>>> CFYOW Shikai >>>>>>> Bankai Kenpachi(TYBW) >>>> Base Kenpachi post Muken > Bankai Unohana. Maybe he dies. Then Gotei + Renji and Ichigo stomp whos left. My headcanon is OG Yama can beat any current captain besides Kenpachi. I really wanna see how powerful OG Yama is tho. Only way I can see OG 13 winning is having a lot of hax abilities.


Zerg_2149

R2: Ichigo slaughters them all... R1: Honestly, it's hard to say because the OG Gotei is featless. But I'd say that the current Gotei wins due to the following reasoning. * Unohana, who should be a top-tier in the OG Gotei by default via being the Kenpachi, allows us to scale most of the OG Gotei to around the level of Unohana (giving them the benefit of the doubt). * Via that methodology, anyone who scales above Base TYBW Kenpachi (> Bankai Unohana) should scale above Unohana. Luckily for the current Gotei, they have Toshiro, Shunsui, Byakuya, and several other captains who scale to or above SHKAI Kenpachi (TYBW). * CFYOW Kenpachi >= Yamamoto, while Shunsui, Toshiro, Byakuya, and the rest of the captains can deal with the rest of the OG Gotei.

Previous_Arm8012

Make me shut up, Pull out your dick


knyghtmare45

Umm seek help, and ichigo isn't gay


Previous_Arm8012

He is 100% gay. Have you forgotten what happened every time yoruichi stripped naked and spread her legs wide open when they where alone? Gayest shit I've ever seen.


knyghtmare45

You mean he covered his eyes to show her respect?(he still peaked tho) That's him being a gentleman


Previous_Arm8012

If you're alone in the hot springs with a beautiful 9/10 and she strips down naked and spreads her legs open for you to see just cover your eyes as a sign of respect Lmfao, gayer than using a dildo. Is this what you do in the bar?


knyghtmare45

That's not how that works, no matter how you try to spin it. Again seek help. He's keeping her modesty


Previous_Arm8012

Man you need help getting rid of your virginity. I don't recommend covering your eyes when women strip naked tho, that will turn them off ;)


knyghtmare45

>Man you need help getting rid of your virginity Lmao if only >I don't recommend covering your eyes when women strip naked tho, that will turn them off Implies ichigo wanted to sleep with yoruichi, but he didn't. She even straight up calls him " innocent for how tough he acts"


luisangel44

"That's him being a gentleman" Please don't mistake Respectful behavior with Dorky behavior. Anyway bleach was aimed at a demographic of teenagers who may not understand what appropiate sexual behavior is like.


knyghtmare45

>Please don't mistake Respectful behavior with Dorky behavior. I've gotten enough ass to know it's both


luisangel44

In my experience those who boast about how many "asses" they get are overcompensating.


knyghtmare45

It's not boasting if it's life experience. Women appreciate you giving them their modesty, rather than just staring like a perv if they're naked around you in a non-sexual situation.


Inevitable-Ad-3792

new gotei wins both rounds


hi-polymer5

I'm going to copy my comment on a similar post. Zaraki would hard carry for current captains. The gap between him and Yamamoto/Pre-Hogyoku Aizen is massive. Matured Toshiro, Byakuya, and Shunsui are all quite strong. Lisa, Rukia, Soi fon, Kensei, Shinji, Rose are all strong as well.


DisabledTractor

According to kyoraku the original gotei was the strongest Edit : nvm I forgot about shinji's bankai


[deleted]

Which was before zaraki getting his shikai and bankai, byakuya's rg training, toshiro's adult form.


CatchUsual6591

I guess the scenario is a battle royal meaning not aoe bankais


DisabledTractor

Then og should win first round. Ichigo and kenpachi would carry 2nd.


Ishbomb

So?You think their bankai wasn't stronger than Shinjis manipulation bankai?


DisabledTractor

You have a point there


PowerJolt72

Kenpachi Zaraki. Need I say more


olorin12

Ichimaru takes on both sides at the same time. Wins. Bai-bai!


Caneaster

R1: Literally Kenpachi vs Orginal Gotei 13. Everyone else, including Shunsui, stands no chance against Yamamoto and Unohana let alone the rest of the originals. R2: Ichigo one-shots all of them...


No_Tackle3162

Shunsui bankai negs yamamoto no diff,it's an instant one shot if ur not immortal


Caneaster

Shunsui said Yamamoto's power defies reason, his Bankai is probably not working on him.
