The strongest characters who no longer live in bleach

Bleach is a series filled to the brim with some of the strongest characters in battle shonen history. The protagonist of the series and the main villains who have served as a thorn in Soul Society's side time and time again, there are obvious mentions here, but that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to discussing the strongest characters in Bleach.

It is a testament to the power levels in the Bleach that most of the toughest fighters in the series died at the hands of other, more powerful enemies. Most Bleach fans were shocked by their deaths, unable to comprehend that someone so ridiculously powerful could even be shot down.

8 Grammy Thoumeaux

He can imagine anything that exists, which is ridiculously powerful

• Death:I AM THE EDGE (Episode 20 Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War)

Sternritter's powers can be somewhat blunt at times, but nothing comes close to the sheer dominance of Gremma Thoumeaux's powers. This Quincy could turn the figments of his imagination into reality, which could help him become one of the strongest characters in Bleach.

Instead, it is served on a silver platter to Kenpachi, who uses the debut of his Shikai to humiliate Gremmy. In a fit of rage, this Quincy imagines himself to be as powerful as this new enemy, only for his body to implode after being unable to absorb Zaraki's power.

7 Jushiro Ukitake

He died before he could show his true abilities as a commander

• Death:Dark curtain (Chapter 621 Bleach)

Ukitake is one of the biggest what-ifs in the series, dying before he could reveal his Bankai. It's a shame because the character's debut made it clear that he's just as powerful as Shunsui, if not more so.

Unfortunately, he was chosen to replace the Soul King and died not long after when Yhwach intervened and absorbed the Soul King's powers. This included the power that kept Ukitake alive, leading to him dying an unfortunate death as Yhwach's powers reached greater heights.

6 Retsu Unohana

The former Kenpachi title holder is a beast in combat

• Death:Battle (Episode 10 Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War)

Most people assumed that Unohana was a shinigami who specialized in medicine and healing. All of these notions are shattered when he decides to unlock Zaraki's hidden potential in one of the series' most brutal fights.

In one fell swoop, Unohana reveals that she was the previous holder of the Kenpachi title, reveals a Bankai that allows her to weaponize blood, and traps Zaraki in a cycle of death and rebirth until she finally unlocks her latent powers before sacrificing herself. to give Soul Society one of its strongest warriors.

5 Jugram Haschwalth

He could use the power of the Almighty while Yhwach slept

• Death:The End Two Worlds (Chapter 681 Bleach)

Jugram Haschwalth doesn't look like the strongest Quincy in Yhwach's army at first glance. However, it is only when the Soul King is asleep that this member of the Sternritter reveals why the King holds him in such high regard.

When his master sleeps, the power of the Almighty is temporarily transferred to Jugram. Considering how powerful Yhwach is, it's easy to see why anyone would fear this powerful Quincy when he uses these powers. Unfortunately, he was betrayed by his master and killed by Auswahlen, prematurely ending one of the most promising fighters in the series.

4 Gerard Valkyrie

Being able to manifest miracles made him almost invincible

• Death:End 2 (Chapter 680 Bleach)

The Power of Miracles allows Gerard Valkyrie to enjoy a sense of immortality, which is pushed to the limit during his battle with several powerful Shinigami. The fact that he was able to persevere with a destroyed body even after facing the full power of Hitsugaya and Kenpachi's perfect Bankais is a testament to the incredible strength of this Sternritter.

His death is ultimately disappointing as Yhwach absorbs his powers with Auswahlen to become stronger at the cost of his life. Due to the sheer amount of attacks he absorbed, most fans agree that his death could have been more cathartic if a shinigami managed to take him out instead.

3 Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto

Captain-Commander Gotei 13 is one of the most powerful shinigami of all time

• Death:Fire (Part 6 Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War)

Most people are well aware of the power that Yamamoto wields, making him a shinigami fit to serve as the captain-commander of the Gotei 13. After Yhwach's attack on Soul Society, the character enters the fray and demonstrates the true extent of his authority.

Despite his powerful Bankai making everyone tremble in their boots, Yhwach uses a rogue trick to trick Yamamoto, capturing his Bankai and unleashing a bisecting slash that brutally ends the Captain-Commander's life. It's a shocking moment that is a strong start to the Millennium Blood War.

2 Yhwach

Strongest Quincy In Bleach By A Country Mile

• Death:Blade (Chapter 684 Bleach)

Quincy King is one of the most powerful characters in shonen history, whose powers expanded after absorbing the power of the Soul King. It seemed that defeating this enemy would be impossible and it would take a master's hand to justify a killing blow on this opponent.

Instead, many people felt it Bleach fumbling royally at the end, with Yhwach's death coming in an anti-climactic fashion that fails to deliver on his overwhelming power. Fans can only hope that the anime adaptation changes the final fight to make this final blow more satisfying than ever.

1 King of Souls

Technically the strongest entity in Bleach, despite not participating in a single battle

• Death:KILL THE KING (Part 28 Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War)

The Soul King is by far the most powerful entity in the Bleacheven if his power does not show in battle. Instead, this divine being is responsible for maintaining the cosmic balance that separates the three worlds of Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the human world.

This fact alone makes his spiritual power incomparable to other characters Bleach. Unfortunately, Yhwach managed to kill the Soul King by manipulating Ichigo and absorbing his powers to become a nefarious being whose power reached even greater heights.
