@darkchao45 especially when he made tousen look like a bitch when he did his little darkness cricket crap and I'm sure he could've kicked komamura's ass after that aw this is just wrong on so many levels but it's obvious who would be on top

[the space cadet]

These were the overall ratings, so I don't think it completely reflects who'd win in a one on one matchup.

It was stated that Shunsui and Ukitake are likely to be the two most powerful captains, which is evident in Shunsui's rating, and mentioned that Ukitake's sickness is what lowers his rating.

I was shocked at his rating too... considering he kicked Tousen's AND Komamura's ass at the same time.
But his overall rating is low because he has ZERO kidou, no bankai, is the least intelligent, and is the second slowest of all the captains. He can't even use shunpei, the flash step. He can only "run really fast".

Even so... he's still one of my favorite captains. At the current moment, Byakuya is my fav.

True his only strong points are his brute strength and fighting experience which is why he's at the bottom

That's basically how wiki explained it too.

I think for all us Ken fans, he's just too badass to be rated the lowest... then you realize why he's rated the lowest and, sadly, it makes sense.

Which is true he's just too kickass they had to dumb him down, the thing is every time I look at him I keep thinking of Sagat from Street Fighter and imagine that this what he'd be like with a kimono, sword and hair

[Kuro]

Did not expect that from unohana. I'll look forward to that high offensive ability then! I like ukitakes and kyorakus releases. I think if I had to pick a fave captain it would be hitsugaya though.

I never thought of Sagat. They do seem the same now that you mention it.

@kurosaki
Hitsgaya is in my top three along with Kenpachi and Byakuya.
For some reason I have a strange feeling sometime in the future Unohana may jump way up my list...

[Griever]

Just coz of the whole scar on the chest and eye patch but kenpachi would kick his muay thai ass any day

Quoting parts of wiki:

( Click to show/hide )

Also according to the former captains of the 5th and 7th Division, respectively, she can be very frightening as the look on their faces implied they would never want to get on her bad side (they noted that being destroyed by Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai's Bankai would be a preferable fate). No one has ever disputed this fact, for she is an indispensable part of Soul Society and the Gotei 13 Squads.

Master Healer: Unohana is by far the most knowledgeable on health related matters in all of Soul Society. She is known to be highly proficient in conventional healing techniques as well as herbal healing. Her knowledge of anatomy is high enough that upon examination of Aizen's "dead body", she concluded it was not Aizen or even real. She also seems to be able to heal more than just Shinigami, evident when she heals Yasutora Sado, a human, and Gantenbainne Mosqueda, an Arrancar.

Kidō Master: As the head of the Fourth Division, Unohana is known for her skills in the healing branch of Kidō.

Immense Spiritual Power: As one of the oldest Captains in the Gotei 13, it is safe to assume that Unohana has tremendous spiritual power.

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Although she has never been seen in battle, it is known that her personal speciality is sword fighting, including her particular mastery in the kendō style of fighting.[1]

Flash Steps Expert: Unohana is proficient enough in this skill to be of the average level of speed possessed by a Captain.

Keen Intellect: Along with her general skill of healing, she is able to detect the smallest details. This helps her in her mastery of healing. She can detect anomalies and problems lesser healers wouldn't. She can tell by a simple look what type of medical attention if any is needed. She was able to deduce that Aizen's elaborate illusion of a corpse doll wasn't real, but even more so that Aizen was perpetuating a much larger scheme.
