Bleach: Most Powerful Members Of The Quincy Clan, Ranked

As a connoisseur of the extraordinary and the fantastical, I find myself utterly captivated by these formidable figures hailing from the realm of Bleach. From the mighty Gerard to the enigmatic Haschwalth, each of them possesses powers that are nothing short of miraculous. Yet, none can compare to the indomitable Yhwach, the very embodiment of power and mystery.

With the eight-year break in the Bleach animated series drawing to a close, enthusiasts of this well-loved series can’t help but be thrilled at the prospect of meeting fresh characters and learning about their abilities. The upcoming Thousand Year Blood War arc presents numerous potent beings who are members of the Quincy race, primarily serving under the Sternritter faction. They are the most powerful among all Quincy and often receive unique titles reflecting the powers they’ve been granted by their leader Yhwach.

RELATED: Bleach: Everything you Need to Know about The Quincy Clan

As a devoted follower, my primary objective has always been to cleanse Soul Society of all Shinigami, using my unique abilities and bankai-stealing amulets as my tools. Notably, I’ve made considerable headway in this endeavor. Moreover, I possess Vollständig forms that offer substantial advantage in combat. Here are some of the most formidable members of our clan showcased throughout the series.

20 Mask De Masculine

Bleach: Most Powerful Members Of The Quincy Clan, Ranked

Anime Debut: Episode 370
Spirit Weapon: Cheer-Induced Empowerment
Signature Skill: N/A

Each member of the Strenritter boasts immense strength, but not all can effectively blend their mental acuity and physical prowess. This is particularly true for Mask De Masculine, who stands out due to his imposing size and eye-catching mask. In everyday life, he’s relatively simple-minded, knowing little beyond his own desires. However, when it comes to combat, he demonstrates surprising strategic thinking.

Despite being equally arrogant as he is powerful, Mask values his friends and fans deeply, recognizing their significance in his powers, as demonstrated with James. He wields the Schrift: The Superstar, which enables him to amplify his strength, speed, and endurance from James’ cheers. Furthermore, Mask can unleash the Quincy: Vollstandig, making him an incredibly formidable adversary.

19 Robert Accutrone

Bleach: Most Powerful Members Of The Quincy Clan, Ranked

Anime Debut: Episode 369
Spirit Weapon: Reishi Pistol
Signature Skill: N/A

In the ranks of the Sternritter lies one known as Robert Accutrone, assigned the designation N. Known for his stern demeanor, particularly when confronting adversaries, Robert demonstrates a unique mastery over Reishi manipulation. His preferred weapon, a Reishi Pistol, allows him to precisely control the intensity of the Reishi he unleashes beforehand.

Besides having his own character named Grimaniel (also known as Vollstandig), Robert also boasts unique powers. These powers bestow him with a variety of reishi-made items such as feathery wings that give him extraordinary speed and a halo, which is the ultimate manifestation of his power. Although Robert typically maintains a composed demeanor in combat, his strength should not be underestimated.

18 Driscoll Berci

Anime Debut: Episode 369
Spirit Weapon: Reishi Tekko
Signature Skill: Killing-Induced Empowerment

Driscoll Berci lacks a distinct persona outside of combat. He’s always eager and intensely aggressive, which makes him a formidable adversary. Known as O: The Overkill, he lives up to his title because he often goes above and beyond during battles.

Through his script, he gains the capacity to amplify his own power whenever he takes a life decisively; in other words, his power intensifies with each kill he makes. However, despite not having a Vollstandig, Driscoll’s strength remains formidable.

17 Cang Du

Anime Debut: Episode 370
Spirit Weapon: Reishi Claws
Signature Skill: Iron Skin Mimicry

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: Among the Sternritters, there’s a cold and unyielding warrior named Cang Du, who carries the title I: The Iron. Unlike his stoic exterior might suggest, he’s more indifferent than stern. Cang strongly believes that whatever was bound in life should remain connected even in death. He also holds the unique view that Bankai don’t possess independent minds.

In combat, Cang can generate an iron coating over his body, rendering him immune to physical assaults even against attacks from a team leader. With this armor and his preferred Reishi Claws, Cang becomes a formidable adversary.

16 PePe Waccabrada

Anime Debut: Episode 371
Spirit Weapon: Heilig Bogen
Signature Skill: Induced Infatuation

PePe Waccabrada, affectionately known as “Quincy of Love,” belongs to the group called Sternritter and carries the title L: The Love. Despite his small stature, he strongly advocates for the influence of love in all aspects of life, viewing it as both the source of conflicts and the key to overcoming obstacles towards one’s goals. However, when his affection is not reciprocated, he becomes frustrated.

Additionally, he exhibits traits of both sadism and narcissism. In essence, PePe’s likable personality stems from his unique ability, The Love, which enables him to fire a heart-shaped missile at any target. Those struck by this heart become overwhelmingly infatuated with him, willing to do anything he commands. Furthermore, beyond this power, PePe possesses another formidable skill known as Gudoero under the Vollstandig title. This ability amplifies the danger significantly.

15 Quilge Opie

Anime Debut: Episode 368
Spirit Weapon: Reishi Sword
Signature Skill: Reishi Cages

Quilge possesses a stern and unrelenting demeanor, sparing no quarter in combat against those who challenge him. The emblem Ywach gave him is the letter J, symbolizing “The Prison.” This empowered him to construct Reishi cells nearly impossible to break free from once ensnared, and also to fashion structures that can seal off portals and gateways linking various dimensions.

The trapped person’s essence and powerful energy are effectively locked away from the outside world, making escape nearly impossible. This fortress is almost impassable, remaining intact even after Quilge’s demise. Its strength is such that not even a direct blast of Ichigo’s Bankai, Getsuga Tensho, could break it open.

14 Bambietta Basterbine

Anime Debut: Episode 369
Spirit Weapon: Reishi Sword
Signature Skill: Bomb Transformation

Bambietta is a cruel individual who finds pleasure in the agony of her adversaries, refraining from combat against those who have surrendered their lives because it’s not as thrilling for her to inflict despair on them. She wields a powerful ability known as “The Explode,” which enables her to generate reishi that transforms whatever it touches into explosives.

She additionally has the power to trigger an intense blast that could devastate her immediate surroundings. When utilizing Vollstandig, she can amplify the force of a single bomb detonation to the point where it could wound Shinji Hirako.

13 Meninas McAllon

Anime Debut: Episode 371
Spirit Weapon: Heilig Bogen
Signature Skill: Superhuman Strength

Meninas possesses an extraordinary level of power, referred to as “The Power,” which she inherently holds due to her unique script (schrift P). She has astonished us with displays of immense strength, such as swiftly outmatching Ichigo, albeit temporarily, lifting entire buildings, shattering obstacles, and dealing crushing blows in battle.

Beyond her immense power, she boasts an extraordinary resilience as well, able to endure potent attacks and wounds that would typically fell less robust opponents. This fortitude on the battlefield makes her a formidable foe indeed. Moreover, she can rapidly amplify her muscle mass for a more impactful display of strength.

12 Giselle Gewelle

Anime Debut: Episode 380
Spirit Weapon: Heilig Bogen
Signature Skill: Zombie Conversion

Giselle is light-hearted and humorous in ordinary situations, but transforms into a ruthless and malicious individual once combat begins, though she pretends otherwise. Her ability, “Z for ‘The Zombie,'” enables her to command the bodies of anyone her blood touches. This is evident when she seized control of several Death Reapers, instructing them to fight one another during the Sternritters’ assault on Soul Society.

The amount of blood required depends on the reiatsu level of the victim. She can also heal herself and her comrades by replacing their flesh with the flesh of the deceased. She can even replace lost body parts too.

11 Gremmy Thoumeaux

Anime Debut: Episode 380
Spirit Weapon: N/A
Signature Skill: Imagination Manifestation

As a gamer, let me tell you about myself – I’m cocky, I’m Gremmy, the Sternritter who thinks I’m the best among them all. I’ve got this unshakable faith in my skills, and honestly, it’s not without reason. My Shrift V, “The Visionary,” grants me an extraordinary power: I can mold reality with my imagination. It’s like being a game developer who doesn’t need to code – I just imagine it, and it becomes real.

As a gamer, I’d say my abilities are beyond ordinary. I can reshape reality on a whim, conjuring objects out of thin air, bending the environment to my will, and summoning formidable weapons at the snap of my fingers. I’ve even got the knack for cloning myself and, in an astonishing twist, creating life itself. Keeping pace with the fearsome Kenpachi Zaraki? Now that’s a feat that leaves many in awe.

10 Bazz-B

Anime Debut: Episode 369
Spirit Weapon: Heilig Bogen
Signature Skill: Fire Manipulation

In the title “The Flame Master,” Bazz-B boasts extraordinary powers associated with intense fires that outmatch even the toughest adversaries. His fire is so potent it matches Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai’s, yet he shows signs of struggle. However, he manages to overpower the combined forces of captain-level shinigami Rangiku Matsumoto and Tōshirō Hitsugaya. Notably, Hitsugaya had already lost his bankai during this encounter.

He has a wide range of abilities, most of which are fire-based and denoted by the number of fingers he employs. They provide a decent amount of utility and usually increase in power with the more fingers he uses.

9 Äs Nödt

Anime Debut: Episode 369
Spirit Weapon: Reishi Thorns
Signature Skill: Fear Inducement

Nödt’s title, “The Fear,” encapsulates not only his unique powers but also the persistent dread that haunted him prior to joining Yhwach. His spirit weapon enables him to control and grow thorns, and on touching his foes, it can trigger an overwhelming level of fear that proves lethal.

In the initial attack on Soul Society, he seized Captain Byakuya Kuchiki’s powerful technique (bankai) and instilled fear in him using the sharp points of his spiritual weapon. This allowed him to overpower the strong captain, both physically and psychologically. However, during the second assault, he faced Rukia Kuchiki, whose bankai and ice abilities proved superior, resulting in her victory.

8 Royd Lloyd

Anime Debut: Episode 372
Spirit Weapon: Reishi Sword
Signature Skill: Appearance/Personality & Memory Replication

Known as “The Perfect Imposter,” Royd holds an extraordinary power that enables him to mimic exactly the looks, character, and memories of other individuals, seamlessly taking on their roles. This skill was primarily employed during the initial attack on Soul Society, where Royd disguised himself as Quincy King Yhwach.

Although Royd could only mimic appearances, he skillfully outmaneuvered 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, a shinigami known as one of the Special War Powers. This allowed him to match Yamamoto Genryusai and even weakened him significantly, paving the way for the genuine Yhwach to arrive and overpower the Captain-Commander.

7 Pernida Parnkgjas

Anime Debut: Episode 380
Spirit Weapon: Heilig Bogen
Signature Skill: Evolution Governance

Pernida was bestowed with the title “The Forced One,” yet it is essentially the left hand of the Soul King. Prior to becoming part of the Quincy group, it already had unique powers, making it one of only two of its kind. It also belongs to an exclusive unit within the Sternritter called the Schutzstaffel, functioning as one of Yhwach’s strongest subordinates.

Pernida possesses a unique talent for shaping matter, whether organic or inorganic, by sending out its nerve tendrils to reach its objective. With this skill, it compelled Kenpachi Zaraki to sever his own arm and cornered 12th Division Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi. If not for Mayuri’s unpredictable powers, Pernida would have proven an even more formidable adversary.

6 Askin Nakk Le Vaar

Anime Debut: Episode 369
Spirit Weapon: Heilig Bogen
Signature Skill: Lethal Dose Control

Askin’s unique title is “The Lethal Manipulator.” It enables him to adjust the fatal dose of any substance or attack, provided he has encountered it at least once before. This power can be utilized in multiple ways; for instance, it provides him with a remarkable healing ability, and in other instances, it makes him resistant to otherwise potent attacks.

He was able to partly incapacitate powerful figures such as Ichigo Kurosaki and Yoruichi Shihouin, using his deathdealing on both occasions. It ended up taking the combined might of Yoruichi, Kisuke Urahara, and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez to finally defeat him.

5 Lille Barro

Anime Debut: Episode 380
Spirit Weapon: Diagramm
Signature Skill: Spatial Piercing & Spatial Phasing

Regardless of always keeping one eye closed, Lille Barro exhibits remarkable sharpshooting skills. He has earned the nickname “The X-Axis” due to his uncanny ability to strike anything directly in the path of his rifle’s line of sight with unerring precision. This talent is enhanced by not relying on conventional ammunition and being impossible to obstruct through traditional defenses.

He is the leader of the Schutzstaffel and possesses strength expected of one with his rank. During his fight against the new Captain-Commander Shunsui Kyōraku, he masterfully combined his different strengths and significantly injured the Gotei 13 commander. However, after the intervention of Nanao Ise, he was partly defeated and proceeded to clone himself, spreading his offshoots across the area.

4 Uryu Ishida

Anime Debut: Episode 7
Spirit Weapon: Heilig Bogen
Signature Skill: Situation Reversal

Uryū Ishida, a character from Bleach, is the quincy that fans are most accustomed to. Throughout the series, he underwent numerous transformations, but perhaps his most remarkable change transpired when he became part of the Sternritter. This led him to become one of Yhwach’s lieutenants, his designated successor, and a member of the Schutzstaffel. Uryū was bestowed with the title of “Antithesis.

Initially, Uryū was one of Ichigo’s strongest allies, possessing his own spirit weapon and joining forces with him in tough fights. Later, after gaining additional powers, he became capable of even more incredible feats. His title allows for a unique ability – the swapping of the condition or state of two chosen targets. This power enabled him to outmaneuver Grandmaster Jugram Haschwalth, albeit temporarily.

3 Gerard Valkyrie

Anime Debut: Episode 380
Spirit Weapon: Hoffnung
Signature Skill: Damage Conversion through Miracle Manifestation

Alongside Pernida Parnkgjas, Gerard also possesses abilities that predate his connection with the Quincy. He is referred to as the “Heart of the Soul King” and carries the title of “The Miracle.” This gift empowers him to conquer seemingly impossible circumstances, granting him the authority to create miracles which typically enhance his physical condition.

Concurrently, he engaged in prolonged combat with several formidable captains from the series, leveraging his unique ability that allowed him to expand in size. Eventually, he was subdued by a bankai-activated Kenpachi, but retaliated swiftly with his Vollständig. Despite being outnumbered, his single-handed fight against multiple captains didn’t result in defeat. However, Yhwach called him back, signifying the termination of the conflict.

2 Jugram Haschwalth

Anime Debut: Episode 368
Spirit Weapon: Reishi Sword
Signature Skill: Misfortune Redirection

Hashwalth serves as the second-in-command under Yhwach in the Quincy, often taking on an advisory role. Known as the Sternritter Grandmaster, he’s frequently addressed by this title. Endowed with the designation and power of “The Balance,” he possesses the unique ability to redistribute misfortunes among individuals within a designated region.

Moreover, when Yhwach sleeps, a portion of his power is transferred to Haschwalth, making him significantly stronger and more challenging as an adversary. His spirit weapon, Friend Shield, amplifies his primary power by collecting misfortunes aimed at Haschwalth, which he can then redirect onto others. This unique ability allowed him to neutralize Uryū’s Antithesis, but he was eventually weakened once Yhwach reclaimed his power.

1 Yhwach

Anime Debut: Episode 367
Spirit Weapon: Reishi Sword
Signature Skill: Soul Distribution, The Almighty, Auswahlen

Yhwach is often called the founder of the Quincy and has existed for more than a millennium. He possesses immense power and was the one who defeated two of Soul Society’s most formidable figures, Yamamoto Genryusai and Ichibē Hyōsube. Notably, his main ability is famously known as “The Almighty,” reflecting his high standing.

This talent grants him a glimpse of what’s to come and the power to manipulate those events for his advantage in the current moment. In the ultimate clash with Ichigo, he utilizes it frequently, even inflicting injuries on the unaware protagonist and shattering his sword just moments after he obtained true bankai.
