The purpose of Captains in the Bleach Universe is to protect the enigmatic Soul Society. Along with the wayward souls, Captains don the duty of protecting the members of the society as well.

Captains have come and gone through the series yet we didn’t pay heed to the excellence that brought them to such a praiseworthy position. Here we’ve analyzed the unique captains the show had to offer and conjured a list for your perusal.

10. Byakuya Kuchiki

Byakuya Kuchiki is the 28th head of the Kuchiki Clan – one of the four great noble clans in Soul Society.

9. Gin Ichimaru

Gin Ichimaru was the former captain of the 3rd division of the Gotei 13 until he betrayed the Soul Society. Hailed as a child prodigy, he is a powerful fighter who makes very little effort.

Gin’s actual Kudo technique is unknown but he once teleported himself and Aizen to a good distance. Gin is strong enough to take a direct hit from Ichigo Kurosaki’s Bankai-enhanced Getsuga Tenshō.

8. Shinji Hirako

Shinji is the captain of the 5th division in the Gotei13. His character is somewhat comical in the bleach universe. Although his personality on the battlefield is something else.

Hirako has never used Kido in battles but he had enough courage to put Ichigo in a dream state and breakthrough Aizen’s illusions. Shinji excels in Shunpo even at a close range.

7. Yoruichi Shihōin

Yoruichi, also known as the “Flash Goddess,” is the former commander of the Onmitsukidō as well as the former commander of the 2nd division of Gotei13.

6. Tessai Tsukabishi

Tessai is currently an employee at the Urahara shop yet 100 years ago Tessai was the captain of the Kido Corps in the Soul Society.

He is considered one of the greatest Kido master in Soul Society’s history. He is also a Hakuda Expertone that can shatter a Hollow’s head into pieces with just a palm strike.  Tessai’s vast reserves of spiritual power allow him to use multiple high-level Kido spells without exhaustion.

5. Shunsui Kyōraku

Shunsui is the Captain of the 1st division and also, the Captain Commander of the Gotei13.

He can be defined as a man who’d always try to talk his way out of the battle. Despite his laid back attitude, he is an excellent strategist and a proficient swordsman in all of Soul Society. He uses two swords which are very handy since he can switch them while fighting.

4. Kenpachi Zaraki

Kenpachi is currently the captain of the 11th division of the Gotei 13.

He is known to be the most violent captain who tends to enjoy fighting therefore he uses an eyepatch to regulate his powers as a challenge and refrains from using his 100% potential. Kenpachi’s spiritual powers are very potent and he is a specialized combatant who made up for the captaincy criteria with sheer power, will, and ingenuity.

3. Kisuke Urahara

Kisuke is the founder and also the First President of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute (S.R.D.I). He was the former captain of the 12th division.

Urahara is a very cunning yet oddly optimistic man. He tends to show his serious side when the situation warrants it. He has demonstrated knowledge of the Hakuda Combating style and Shunpo levels of speed. He possesses exceptional endurance ability in battle. Urahara is proficient in Hado and Bakudo spells.

2. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto

Genryūsai Yamamoto is the Captain Commander of Gotei 13.

Yamamoto is highly respected as he’s one of the strongest captains and the most powerful swordsman in the Soul society. As the oldest member, he possesses an extremely powerful Reiryoku. He has mastered Kido spells and the Shunpo speed along with his Hakuda Combating style.

1. Sōsuke Aizen

Sosuke Aizen aka “the greatest villain” is the strongest among the 13 captains in Bleach series. He is extremely intellectual and is frighteningly good at manipulating others.

Sosuke Aizen has mastered a wide range of abilities from teleportation to swordsmanship. He can walk or stand on air as if it were ground. Aizen is an excellent tactician which is a lethal combination along with his powerful abilities. Aizen is hands-down the best in using Kido spells.
