Ranking the BEST Forms & Transformations in Bleach | Mugetsu, Kenpachi's Bankai & More

Which character has the best transformation design in Bleach? There's tonnes to choose from, so let me know your favourites in the comments!

Mugetsu>>>>

this clear Mugetsu > tybw

I'm a little bummed ya didn't even mention the best part about Aizen's final Monster evolution, a small one for sure but the fact he doesn't have a right hand at all is a friggin great bit of design showing the Hogyoku trying to mimic how Ichigo had fully bonded with his Zanpakuto by just melding Aizen's hand with his blade. The face is most certainly the most striking part though, yeah!

I agree with your list for the most part but one ofy favorite designes is soul king ywach

Where is the almighty doggidy dog ?

In my opinioin Nnoitra has one of the best transformation.

mugetsu not even being mentioned is slightly homophobic, your honor

I've always dithered on Lille's transformations. But I totally agree that all of the SS should have really trippy, "biblically accurate" angelic forms.

I feel like you left nel out because of boobs.

I want to say you're videos are great. You're a good presenter and very knowledgably about bleach. However, (I don't know if you're doing this intentionally) these videos are sooo damn long... like it takes you 10 minutes to slowly explain something that could take 10 seconds. And then you'll cover the same talk point just with different words. I can't watch / listen to your videos because it so slow.

Vasto Lorde>>>>>>>

So did barragan power born or was he always like that? i got so confused.

I kind of wish Uryuu gained a form like the one he used against Mayuri one criticism off bleach which I have is that I wanted the side characters from his school like Uryuu, Chad and Orihime to be a bit more involved, it would be cool if uryuu was more like a Vegeta to Ichigo, a rival who always tries to keep up.

I'm going to have to say Horn of Salvation is stronger then dangai Ichigo just for the simple fact is horn of Salvation has all of his powers combined together and are being used properly whereas dangai Ichigo is essentially his zanpakuto and it being pushed to its furthest limit. But that's just my opinion.

I know this is 7 months late but I would have expect byakuya's most powerful technique during the soul society arc (shukei: hakuteiken) to be mentioned.

Crazy how uryu trasnformation with single wing could be like half his power later on quinces have 2 wings and not one

Ichigo with the cape and bandages when he saves rukia during the Soul society arc is my favorite

Stark resurrection < Lillie barro vollstandig

I always thought the Visored specific transformation - donning the mask - was so cool. No big words, just a slight hand movement by the characters and BOOM!

I think it's really underrated and one of the ways to add a really cool design element to an already existing character.

I've always thought Dangai Ichigo was definitely the coolest transformation in the series, I know a lot of people like final getsuga ichigo but something about the understated nature of dangai ichigo just looks so sick to me

1. Vizard Tosen
2. Vasto Lorde Ichigo
3. Barrigan' resurrection
4. Harribel
5. Monster Aizen
6. Adult Nelliel
7. Nnorita
8. H. M. Tosen
9. Ulquiorra
10. Isshin

For me Character designs are the most important thing to get me interested in a mime. 1. Character design, 2. Power system 3. Good Fights.

Ichigo's full hollow form is still #1 for me b/c it changes his personality so drastically. The image of him pinning Ulquiorra's head down with his foot is just damn iconic. Ichigo at his most animalistic. I wish we'd gotten more out of that form.

for me nothing beats mugetsu .... you could feel by seeing ichigo that was a once shot form , mfker was next level strong .

Nel from kid to espada 😐

Yes, me taking out my glasses is the best transformation, I let Barragan take the #1 spot cause the poor old man had enough of being second in the Espada ranking

i have a new appreciation for some of these after reading lovecraft

Like all those, but i would mention 2 more:
- From all of arrancars we can't forget about Grimmjow, his Pantera is so fitting to the character...
- As we talked about bankai... old man Yamamoto bankai and turing head Captain into living torch.... this was especialy made perfect by animation team... the way flames disappear and later reappear... :) Now i get it - not much clothes/outfit change on Yamamoto (altough wearing a suit made of flames can be threated as "transformation")

Man I love your choice of words omg
Just perfect to describe these transformations wow
Your words do justice for all these transformations

Ichigo's OG bankai is pure iconicity, definitely #1 for me

yk i just kinda realized… end of story Shunsui and Starrk lowk mirror each other somewhat, both are number one espada and captain, both have eyepatches, both dual wield weapons and starrk represents lonliness while shunsui is lonely after the war.

As a dragonball Fanboy. Yes those tranformations are way better then those from Dragonballs. The whole Artstyle is much cooler. And Bleach owns the most cool Anime char who has ever walked through TV screans. Zaraki Kenpachi 🤣

100% agree with this list

Very very good list, well reasoned and just overall on point!

ARROGANTE

Barraga weapons have Fireflame?

Yoruichi at the end iykyk

That’s why I like Bleach over other Jump anime , the powers feel unique and deep for each character. Instead of different colored hair or ki blasts or the same Jutsu just more power or with a twist, it’s cool the the first time but gets old really quick.

horn of salvation just should have been shoulder pads of salvation the one horn got my mom looking like absol

Ichigo’s first bankai form was so cool to me as a kid, especially with the mask.

If you had said that Aizen taking off his glasses was number one for real I would not have minded.

Ngl I was happy with the Aizen Fake out…if that was number one I’d be happy 😅

Nailed it. You should do a worst transformations list, if you're not already doing it.

Aizen so powerful a simple brush up is considered a transformation. And everyone agreees.

Aizen taking off his glasses and slicking his hair back is still the true #1 😅😂❤ Great video! Thank you for recognizing Rukia's bitchen bankai design 🙏

Tousen’s Bellbug form is my favourite hollow design of all time.

Gotta admit, Ulquiorra's segunda etapa gets a looooot of cool-points in this question for me. But then again, so does Stark's Los Lobos :D

Aizen's will always be my favorite. It was so exciting to see them week after week, he was the protagonist for a few chapters and I simply loved it!

Solid list I’d replace Starrk with Nelliel though and I definitely wouldn’t put him above Vasto Lorde Ichigo or 2nd release Ulquiorra
