25 Best Characters in Bleach
25 Best Characters in Bleach
Just like One Piece and Naruto, Bleach is a massive Shonen series as explained at mtglion.com. One of the series’ strongest points is its insane number of characters. We have sifted through them all and come up with a list of what we think are the 25 best characters in Bleach.
- Kurotsuchi Mayuri
One of the reasons why Mayuri is so popular among all Bleach characters is his visual design as articulated at mtglion.com. The originality of his looks doesn’t just stop with his looks, but also extends to his weird Babidi-looking Bankai. The fact that he is a mad scientist also contributes to his popularity.
- Ichigo Kurosaki
Ichigo is the type of protagonist that really grows on you the more you watch the anime. He is just doing what he does to protect those around him. He also has the best fights in the entire series, given that he is the protagonist.
- Aizen Sosuke
Aizen is a legendary twist villain in the world of anime, proving that, when done right, they can be one of the best and most effective hype trains that an anime can utilize. He wiped the floor with Ichigo while just using his finger.
- Urahara Kisuke
Urahara has a Bankai that lets him restructure reality no less, hence why he is so popular according to mtglion.com. In the end, it was great to finally see all of his feats acknowledged by the very society that exiled him.
- Gin Ichimaru
Gin Ichimaru is one of the strongest characters in Bleach, which is proved by the fact that he is, technically, the only person to actually kill Aizen. He is basically Itachi without the whole family slaughter situation.
- Ukitake Jushiro
Ukitake has one of the most tragic stories in the show as not only does he have a Hyakkimaru Lite edition childhood, but he also doesn’t even get the satisfaction of ever gaining his health back. His chilled-out character is one of the reasons he is so popular.
- Kenpachi Zaraki
Kenpachi Zaraki is the 11th Division Captain of the Gotei 13 and is always seen in the presence of his Lieutenant and mascot Yachiru. His insatiable bloodlust, along with the stellar voice acting from both his Japanese VA and English VA, has made him very popular.
- Toshiro Hitsugaya
Though he is younger than Momo Hinamori, his exceptional talents and intelligence make him feel that he must protect his older sister. While normally maintaining a cool persona, when it comes to Momo, he easily becomes angered when she is hurt as per mtglion.com.
- Rukia Kuchiki
Rukia is the younger sister of Byakuya Kuchiki and the female protagonist of Bleach alongside Ichigo. She is also the reason why Ichigo became involved in the world of Soul Reapers and Hollows, to begin with.
- Byakuya Kuchiki
As a Captain and the head of the Noble Kuchiki house, Byakuya is well known for his strict and seemingly cold personality. His interactions with everyone are cordial at best, and he has no qualms about executing even family members should they break the law.
- Yoruichi Shihouin
Yoruichi is the best friend and potential partner of Kisuke Urahara and trains Sado, Orihime, and even Ichigo for a short time as covered at mtglion.com. She is a character well known for her sarcastic attitude, alluring beauty, and propensity to take on the form of a cat.
- Orihime Inoue
Even though Orihime has faced true hardship with the estrangement from her parents and the loss of her brother Sora, she is rarely if ever seen depressed because of her choice of being positive even in difficult situations.
- Yhwach
The son of the Soul King, Yhwach is insanely powerful, evidenced by how he obliterates Yamamoto with a torrent of arrows launched from his finger. He can manifest one-eyed bat-like creatures that will attack any Shinigami in the vicinity.
- Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto
Before his death, Yamamoto was the Captain-Commander of The Gotei 13. He is known as the most powerful Soul Reaper of all time, a ridiculously strong warrior whose Bankai makes all others look tame in comparison as captured at mtglion.com.
- Ichibe Hyosube
Ichibe is the captain of the Royal Guard, tasked with protecting the Soul King and the royal family. His abilities are akin to those of a god as he can manipulate the metaphysical world. Ichibe can turn a concept into an idea.
- Gerard Valkyrie
Gerard has an innate ability known as The Miracle, which allows him to emerge victorious despite seemingly insurmountable odds. As described at mtglion.com, the tougher the situation seems, the stronger his ability becomes.
- Lille Barro
A powerful Quincy and the leader of Yhwach’s elite guard, Lille Barro is an unrivaled marksman. He has perfect accuracy and is guaranteed to hit and destroy his target with his rifle. He is also able to shoot bursts of energy that can completely obliterate entire cities in the blink of an eye.
- Shunsui Kyoraku
Shunsui Kyoraku is the captain of the 1st Division and arguably the second most powerful captain in the Soul Society. He is a master swordsman, and given he is ambidextrous, he can wield dual blades with ease.
- Askin Nakk Le Vaar
Askin is a cocky character who goes out of his way to highlight his superiority over those he is engaged with, but he is strong enough to back up all the smack talk as discussed at mtglion.com. He is such an unpredictable character, you never know what he is going to do next, which makes him a wild card during a fight.
- Coyote Stark
Coyote is not inherently violent, which makes him an intriguing enemy for the heroes of Bleach to face off against. He is, however, very powerful. Not only is he a fearsome swordsman, but he is also a master marksman.
- Uryu Ishida
Uryu is one of the Quincy characters in the show who managed to gain a lot of attention from the fandom thanks to his appearance and presentation. His skills and powers are all about spiritual energy and how he can shape spiritual particles into bows and arrows.
- Mimihagi
While Mimihagi may not be a swordsman, his capabilities are still far beyond what we can imagine as outlined at mtglion.com. Mimihagi is one of the fallen deities in the series who happens to be quite crucial from a narrative perspective.
- Reio
The Soul King is an absolute being in the series. A status that everyone wishes to acquire in the show. That is what Reio is. He is on another level of excellence and has standards that are set to match the insanity of his character.
- Hikone
Hikone is a hybrid soul whose DNA is just as unique as you might expect. He is one of the side characters in the show who happens to have a lot going on for him. He can create some of the strongest weapons using his abilities.
- Ginjo
Ginjo is known for his abilities as a character, and as basic as they may seem, they add up quite a lot in the long run. Ginjo is one of the notable characters in the show who happens to be insane in terms of reflexes and speed.
