The weakpoints of bleach characters.

[Honjo]

Ok, I wanted to create this thread with the idea of discussing the potential weak points of the current bleach characters, for instance wouldn't kira's wabisuke ability work extremely well against say... komamura's Bankai, given that it would be attempting to carry a sword weighing more then half of soul society in no time, or Aizen's shikai's apparent weakness against tousen's blindness, I think that no matter how powerful the character, it seems that there is almost always a way around their power so to speak.

[Undying]

Of course there's a weak spot, otherwise it's godmodding and that would make the anime boring because no one will beat the guy.

Well regarding Aizen, I think even if the effect of his Shikai won't work he's still very powerful. We have seen how much power he possesses. Remember that Aizen blocked Tensa Zengatsu with one finger. As Aizen said so himself, he has mastered basically everything a Death God can master.

i think ichigo's weakspot is when the hollow guy comes up

Unfortunately, no, that is untrue. See future manga and anime episodes.

[Emperor Knives]

Yes it isn't. When Ichigo's Hollow comes out he becomes much more stronger, at the price of the possibility of him being completely swallowed up by the Hollow. Ichigo's weakness probably is the lack of abilities Zangetsu has.

The weakness in most of the bleach character's is the fact that they get surprised at the drop of a hat.

Granted they've got damn good reason to be in some case's(chp 262 made tite kubo the master of shocking arival's) but something happen's and there like ZZZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGG and it take's them like 5 mins to recover.

but specifically-both matsumoto's and byakuya's zanpaku-to disapear'd, leaving them fairly voulnerable.

gin's shinsou extend's to attack target's from a large range, so get him up close and it might be a problem for him.

tousen's weakness-he's kaname tousen. Zaraki own's him without even going all out.

[Honjo]

I'm not really talking about whether they HAVE weaknesses as much as I am about the specific weaknesses against other characters in the bleach universe, as an example, as zaraki fights using mostly brute strength and massive endurance, how would he have faired against komamura, who's Bankai is probably also based on brute force but obviously on a much higher level? or what if kira's wabisuke made contact with Komamura's Bankai? wouldn't that cause the blade to weigh an utterly incomprehensible amount? or Ichigo Inside Tousen's Bankai, wouldn't he just be flailing about like an idiot? so more along the lines of who couldn't beat who and why? rather then a simple vs thread, and of course without stating the obvious like Aizen could beat Kon because he could fool him into believing there was a half dressed matsumoto up ahead.

What's bad about Orihime is her self confidence, which almost all time low. So, that might be her weakness, if the enemy tries to deal with her with words. As for Aizen, I hope his great weakness is going to be his cockiness. Seriously, he is just so cocky, that I believe that it is going to lead to his downfall. (:

Ichigo has another weak point. Remember that sand hollow? Ichigo's getsuga didn't work on him. Just like how Kira's shikai didn't work on Matsumoto's shikai.

[Undying]

Yeah, Ichigo's lack of elemntal based attacks makes him weaker against elemntal-using opponents (e.g., VS Luganga, or if he went against Hitsugaya or Yamamoto, his lack of elemntal abilities would put him at a disadvantage).

[Pyramus]

Tousens weekness is that he talks too much!!!! When he had zaraki in that bubble thing, he could have just choped off his head, problem solved! But no! he had to talk to Zaraki! And whts the poiunt, he couldnt hear him anyway!

[Undying]

It was Tosen's weakness. His arrogance.

But then, arrogance is the weakness of almost every Bleach character in the Soul Society arc.

Byakuya was beaten because he was arrogant - if he weren't and used Ichigo's arrogance, he'd have had him ages ago.

Tosen got beat because he's arrogant - talking too much.

At least Hitsugaya was defeated because he really is a weakling. I guess he does have a few good points then.

[Gettles]

Ok, coming off the top of my head this is what I figure:

Zaraki: Range. Lacking any form of special abilities means that unlike many other characters, he has no ranged capabilities. Although his endurance can help offset this problem, an opponent who has a powerful ranged skill or highly skilled at Kido can still give him a lot of trouble.

Soi Fong: Also range. Her zanpaktous ability forces her to get right in the face of her opponent. At that range she puts herself at considerable risk to counter attack, this is even more notable considering how little defensive options her weapon gives her.

Kira:The first flaw that has been shown is that his weapon becomes useless against Zampaktous that are not physically held (i.e. Matsumoto). He also has a disadvantage against people who are not likely to use their zampaktous for defense (Yourichi, Soi Fong, Kenpachi)

Tousen's weakness has already been shown. Someone with high endurance and who is able to keep a cool head in his bankai can cause him problems.

[Geosuke]

yep. tousen's bankai is nothing to people who dont have a concept of fear.
troublesome bankai eh...

[nevaziah]

Aizen's weakness: He may have mastered all a shinigami has to master in terms of:

Swordplay
Demon spells/binding
flashstep

but in terms of "capacity" of reatsu, I am very sure Ichigo can beat him, if he can master the same skills, or enough to counter Aizen's skills. Why else would he feel threatened.
1. Urahara was impressed with Ichigo's reatsu at first they meet
2. Byakuya was "REALLY" surprised when ichigo starts initiating his bankai at soukyoku hill.
3. Ulqiora is even "worried" temporarily when ichigo's reatsu flickers beyond his during the hollow's interfearence in Yami-ichigo's battle.
4. Yoroichi "guarantees' ichigo can beat byakuya in 3 days. Ichigo at that point had NO shinigami training, no kidou/binding training, had not even reached bankai and had recently learned the name of his zanpakuto.

I get the feeling Ichigo's story will end up VERY bad if he doesnt control that hollow within him. but if he does, I believe is EAZILY the strongest person we know so far (asside from Isshin, his father).

[VinScythe]

Ichimaru's zampakuto retraction seems to take a huge toll on time, and sashing it around seems quite intangible(it might just bend out of proportion)

Byakuya has high vulnerability just stading in place by how his zampakuto works, if you can shunpo right through the petals the wide-eyed target just presents itself.
