Bleach Tournament-Battle 11 [Possible Spoilers]

[anubis24354]

The rules for the battles are as follows:
1. Each character can use any attack that has been shown in any non-filler episode. If the character has not been shown much, since a certain level of speculation is to be expected, it can be used (Ex. since Halibel hasn’t been shown fighting, her strengths must be speculated about, so she is still a plausible candidate for a battle)
2. You are not required to post a comment about whomever you vote for, but if you vote for a character that has to be speculated about, please at least post your reasons for voting for said character even if it is just because you like the character.
3. Do not purposefully come in and vote for someone that you think will lose just to try and push a weaker character through the brackets. This defeats the purpose of the tournament.
4. All limits placed on Lt. and Capitan rank shinigami are considered lifted for the battle.
5. When considering who to pick as the winner, assume they are fighting in an area devoid of objects that could be used as weapons in battle. This is purely a fight of strength and skill, not who could throw someone else down a cliff or impale them with a rock etc.
6. This is a free for all battle scenario. So even if one of the brackets were to have three Espada and one Shingami, they would not team up against the Shinigami and then battle it out amongst themselves. In other words, even if some combatants would normally team up, they don’t here.
Please follow these rules, and if you think I have really overlooked something important, PM me and I’ll consider weather or not to add it(or if I double posted one character etc.). Also, the combatants are final, if you think I left someone good out, and this tournament goes over well enough for me to consider doing another one, I’ll put them in it if they would fit. I chose characters that are either main combatants in the anime/manga, are not filler characters (let me know if one got in by accident), or if they are popular (as far as I know at least).
I chose the characters for each bracket by assigning them a number and drawing four at a time out of a bag. So the match-ups are completely random.
Another note, you must still follow the general chat rules for CB when posting comments about the current bracket. Since it is almost unavoidable that spoilers will be in here, at least keep them to a minimum, and please use spoiler tags. Remember, just because one of the characters hasn’t been shown in the anime (or dub) does not mean that by reading their name, someone that doesn’t know them will find out any information that might ruin their experience of Bleach. So, again, please still use spoiler tags if you’re going to talk about plot details that haven’t been in the anime yet. [Winners of the previous matches are bolded.]

Tough call between Rose and Hiyori, but I'll go with the majority that believe Hiyori is the weakest Vaizard based on her training Ichigo.

[Wren]

Hmm if shes the weakest though why does everyone let her order them around? Ichigo did take longer to get his hollow in check yes but hes stronger than all of them except perhaps Shinji.

Id have to give this one to Hiyori.

The Vaizard ranks , are not purely based on power. They looked to me , much more like a family than a military organization ( Goter 13 , Arrancars ). You cant actually say which one of them is stronger. My opinion is that Shinji is the stronger , given to he was revealed to know a lot of ''secrets'' ( I might be wrong , and this could be common knowledge amongst the Vaizards )

Anyway

@ Undying , I agree with you on this one. While one could consider that Hiyori trained Ichigo because they were ''similar'' ( It tooked them the longest time to ''tame'' their hollows ) I believe she is one of the weakest , if not the weakest. She probably has a powerful hollow-self , much like Ichigo meaning her potential is quite high , but she has yet to grasp that power.

Rose wins.

Personally I side with Hiyori. Her behavior seems to imply some form of dominance, which is typically backed by power. I think she is training Ichigo because she is ruthless, not really anything related to her power. I mean she is much more likly to be willing to risk killing him than the rest (at least from what we've seen) in the name of making him stronger.

I agree that so far it seems like Shinji is the strongest Vaizard, and something about the way he interacts with Hiyori makes me think that she is like his second in command. So I'm going with her as the victor for this round.

Note: For those that voted for Soifon. We really don't have anyone posting so far as to why they think she stands a chance, it would be really nice if one of you (or anyone that does vote for her still) would post an arguement as to why. I mean, it's not entirly impossible that she could win, but I'm sure that anyone reading so far would notice that pretty much all of us that have posted have pretty well eliminated her from the running in our minds. Not to mention if you think she'll win, and someone reads through the forum and agrees with your aruguement, you might win a vote for her and place her in the final running. That's why the discussion portion of the voting is so important. Anyone that reads before voting might be pulled one way or another, so defend your choice and try and help them win.

[Greggle]

Rose.

He seems more peaceful and reluctant to fight, while Hiyori seems much more eager. She has something to prove and he doesn't because tis already proven.

And based on Shinji vs. Grimmjow vaizards are much stronger than your standard captain, even if her shikai is cheap.

[Seff vi Britannia]

Well, i was one of the ones that voted for Soifon. Didn't post my reasons because the problem is, we know nothing about Hiyori, or Rose, and we don't know Soifon's full strength.

Soifon is fast, as fast as yourichi, and fast enough to catch Aizen off-gaurd. In my opinion, she could be the fastest in that list, even if the vaizards put on their masks.

Her shikai is cheeeap. Two hit-kill, when combined with her speed?

All the captains seem to have undergone strength upgrades since soul society.

Also, we know for a fact that Soifon has a bankai, whereas we don't know for sure that Rose and Hiyori do; i fact, i very much doubt that Hiyori, in particular, does.

[anubis24354]

Just so everyone knows, Rose wins this one, I'm posting the next battle in just a few moments.
