Grimmjow's Triumph: Soul Reapers He Can Defeat in Bleach's Thousand-Year Blood War Arc

Grimmjow's Ascendance in Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War

Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, the Sixth Espada, showcases his enduring might in Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc. Despite being presumed dead, Grimmjow has survived and evolved, gaining enormous power that enables him to demolish several formidable Soul Reapers. With Captain-level spiritual energy, Grimmjow has the capability to defeat those even at the Lieutenant rank.

The Power of Grimmjow's Resurrección

Grimmjow’s Resurrección is a transformative power-up that enhances his speed, durability, and strength, providing him with devastating claw-based attacks. In this state, he becomes a formidable opponent, capable of overpowering even some of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads' Captains. While his base form is exceptionally strong, his Resurrección enhances him further, making him a force to be reckoned with.

Soul Reapers Grimmjow Can Defeat

Yumichika Ayasegawa

Yumichika, the 3rd Seat officer of Squad 11, possesses a secretive and powerful Kido-type Zanpakutō, Ruri'iro Kujaku. However, due to his reluctance to reveal its true form, he fights predominantly with melee techniques that pale in comparison to Grimmjow’s capabilities. This hesitation would lead to his downfall against the Espada, who possesses superior strength and combat skills.

Momo Hinamori

Lieutenant of Squad 5, Momo Hinamori, wields a Zanpakutō capable of producing explosive fireballs. Though potent against her peers, these attacks would be ineffective against an opponent like Grimmjow, who can easily withstand and redirect similar assaults. His agility and brute strength would outmatch Momo’s abilities effortlessly.

Isane Kotetsu

As a proficient healer, Isane Kotetsu ascends to Captain of Squad 4, yet her combat skills do not measure up to Grimmjow's ferocity. Her Shikai lacks the cutting edge against his Hierro and Resurrección powers. Grimmjow's overwhelming attack speed and destructive capabilities would secure his victory.

Marechiyo Ōmaeda

Marechiyo's speed and Shunpo skills make him one of the fleetest Lieutenants, but his Shikai lacks the potency to dent Grimmjow's defenses. Even without his Resurrección, Grimmjow could outmaneuver Marechiyo with his superior agility and combat instincts.

Rangiku Matsumoto

Rangiku's Haineko shapeshifts into ash to execute cutting attacks, but Grimmjow's agility and ability to withstand projectile attacks leave her at a severe disadvantage. Using his Resurrección, Grimmjow could easily circumvent Rangiku’s offensive strategies and overpower her.

Izuru Kira

Izuru's Wabisuke is a unique Zanpakutō capable of exponentially increasing the weight of anything it strikes. Though clever, it is no match for Grimmjow’s formidably swift Resurrección assaults and strategic prowess in melee battles. However, unskilled against an opponent like Grimmjow, Izuru would fall quickly.

Grimmjow Against the Captains

Jūshirō Ukitake

Captain Ukitake is equipped with the exceptional Sōgyo no Kotowari, enabling him to absorb and redirect energy attacks. However, due to his long-standing illness, his endurance would be inadequate to outlast Grimmjow’s persistent tactics. The ailment could incapacitate him long enough for Grimmjow to exploit the weakness.

Sajin Komamura

Komamura’s impressive strength and Tenken’s phantom limbs offer substantial power, but Grimmjow's speed in Resurrección form could surpass that. While Komamura’s Bankai could threaten, Grimmjow’s agility would allow him to avoid these attacks and target Komamura directly, especially after enduring long enough for Komamura’s humanization to expire.
