The strongest characters who are no longer alive in Bleach

bleaching is a series packed with some of the strongest characters in battle shonen history. The protagonist of this series and the main villains who have been a constant thorn in Soul Society's side are of course mentioned here, but that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a discussion of the strongest characters bleaching.

It is a testament to the level of performance in bleaching that most of the series' toughest fighters have died at the hands of other, more powerful enemies. The most bleaching Fans were shocked by her death and couldn't imagine that someone so ridiculously powerful could even be defeated.

8 Gremmy Thoumeaux

I could imagine anything that is incredibly powerful

• Death:I AM THE EDGE (Episode 20 of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War)

The Sternritter's powers can be pretty dull at times, but nothing comes close to the sheer dominance of Gremmy Thoumeaux's powers. This Quincy was able to bring the inventions of his imagination into reality, which could have helped him become one of the strongest characters in Bleach.

Instead, he is handed to Kenpachi on a silver platter, who uses his Shikai's debut to humiliate Gremmy. In a fit of rage, this Quincy imagines that he is just as powerful as this new enemy, except that his body implodes after he can no longer contain Zaraki's power.

7 Jushiro Ukitake

Died before he could show his true powers as a commander

• Death:The dark curtain (Chapter 621 of bleaching)

Ukitake is one of the biggest what-ifs in the series, dying before he can even reveal his Bankai. It's a shame because this character's debut made it clear that he was just as strong as Shunsui, if not stronger.

Unfortunately, he was chosen as the Soul King's successor and died not long after when Yhwach intervened and usurped the Soul King's powers. This included the power that kept Ukitake alive, causing him to die a disappointing death as Yhwach's powers reached greater heights.

6 Retsu Unohana

The former holder of the Kenpachi title is a beast in battle

• Death:The battle (Episode 10 of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War)

Most people assumed that Unohana was a Shinigami who specialized in medicine and healing. All of these notions are dashed when she decides to unleash Zaraki's hidden potential in one of the series' most brutal fights.

In one fell swoop, Unohana reveals that she was the former holder of the Kenpachi title, reveals a Bankai that allows her to weaponize blood, and traps Zaraki in a cycle of death and revival until he finally unleashes his latent powers , before sacrificing himself to give the Soul Society one of its strongest warriors.

5 Yugram Haschwalth

Could harness the power of the Almighty when Yhwach slept

• Death:The end of two worlds (Chapter 681 of bleaching)

At first glance, Jugram Haschwalth doesn't seem to be the strongest Quincy in Yhwach's army. But it is only when the Soul King is asleep that this member of the Sternritter reveals why he is held in such high regard by his king.

When his master sleeps, the Almighty's power is temporarily transferred to Jugram. Considering how powerful Yhwach is, it's easy to see why anyone would fear this mighty Quincy when using these powers. Unfortunately, he was betrayed by his master and killed with selections, bringing an untimely end to one of the series' most promising fighters.

4 Gerard Valkyrie

The ability to perform miracles made him almost invincible

• Death:The End 2 (Chapter 680 of bleaching)

The power of miracles allows Gerard Valkyrie to enjoy a feeling of immortality, which is taken to the extreme during his battle with several powerful Shinigami. The fact that he managed to persevere with a destroyed body even after facing the full power of Hitsugaya and Kenpachi's perfected Bankais is a testament to this Sternritter's incredible strength.

His death is ultimately disappointing, as Yhwach absorbs his powers with choices to become stronger at the cost of his life. Given the sheer number of attacks he fended off, most fans agree that his death could have been more cathartic if a Shinigami had managed to take him out instead.

3 Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto

The Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 is one of the strongest Shinigami of all time

• Death:The fire (Episode 6 of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War)

Most people are aware of the power that Yamamoto wields, making him a shinigami fit to serve as captain and commander of the Gotei 13. After Yhwach's attack on Soul Society, this character enters the fray and shows his true extent of powers.

But even as his powerful Bankai leaves everyone trembling, Yhwach uses a dishonorable trick to deceive Yamamoto, captures his Bankai and unleashes a bisecting blow that brutally ends the Captain-Commander's life. It's a shocking moment that makes for a strong start to the Thousand Year Blood War.

2 Yay

The strongest Quincy in Bleach within a country mile

• Death:The blade (Chapter 684 of bleaching)

The Quincy King is one of the strongest characters in shonen history. His powers expanded after he absorbed the Soul King's power. It would have seemed impossible to defeat this foe, and it would have taken a masterpiece of writing to justify the fatal blow to this antagonist.

Instead, many people felt this bleaching In the end, he was royally fumbled, and Yhwach's death came in an anticlimactic manner that doesn't do justice to his insurmountable strength. Fans can only hope that the anime adaptation changes up the final battle to make that final blow more satisfying than ever.

1 The Soul King

Technically the strongest unit in Bleach, despite not having participated in a single battle

• Death:KILL THE KING (Episode 28 of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War)

The Soul King is by far the strongest being there is bleachingeven if his power is not reflected in battle. Instead, this divine being is responsible for maintaining the cosmic balance that separates the three worlds of Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the human world.

This fact alone makes his spiritual power incomparable to that of the other characters in bleaching. Unfortunately, Yhwach managed to kill the Soul King by manipulating Ichigo and absorbing his powers to become a nefarious being whose power reached even greater heights.
