Hi guys, as it's been stated in this last chapter, Juha Buha didnt consider Yamamoto as one of the 5 war potentials, so what are the potentials?

We know so far:

- Ichigo Kurosaki
- Kenpachi Zaraki
- Aizen Sousuke (knowing that Juha [exact quote from manga] "only came to soul society to talk to Aizen, we have to assume he is another, and the other 2.. are not right now in Soul Society?)

So, who are the other 2 war potentials?
Let's see the possibilities:

-Ishida Uryuu
-Ishida Ryuken (Ishida Uryuu's father)
-Issin kurosaki (ichigo's father)
-Kisuke Urohara
-Yoruichi
-Orihime (only because of her time/space reversal godlike)

Well, my opinion is that
· The father's are not the potentials, or they consider the duo Uryuu-Ryuken Ishida as one of the potential because they went apart from all the other quincies, thus developing new techniques and knowing previous quincies techniques. Anyway, i'd say Ishida Uryuu is one of the potentials (remember the "i cant be that ishida's attacks are weaker than mine" from hunting squad quincy captain from hueco mundo)

· Kisuke is not a potential, remember when Ichigo went inside Hueco Mundo, before any battle the Quincies already know about it, but they didn't say anything about Kisuke.

·Yoruichi... much like Kenpachi, another captain (former captain in this case), with no bankai (not shown at least), so the potential to develop it, and become stronger

·Orihime, i dont think she can be one of the potentials, lack of attack power, and Juha only refered to her as human, not anything else.

So my 5 war potentials:

Ichigo
Kenpachi
Aizen
Ishida Uryuu
Yoruichi.

Who do you think the 5 war potentials are?

The five war potentials are probly this

Shinji Hirako
Yamamoto
Kenpachi
Unohana
Kisuke urahara and or yourichi

All of these are captain level with bankai and I left ichigo out for a particular reason. Because juha tried stalling ichigo first right off the bat.

Don't think Kenpachi is one because he got slaughtered in seconds and Yama-jii is waaay stronger than him and he wasn't one of the war potentials.

Not sure if he counts Ichigo as one because he looks kinda surprised by Ichigo breaking out of the cage on the last page and he thought he was taken care of.

So I think:

Ichigo's dad
Uryuu
Aizen
Yorichi
Urohara

Don't think those hollow guys are much more of a threat then the captains were.

Hey guys it says in the manga that Ichigo, Aizen, and Kenpachi are 3 of the 5 war potentials. No use in making a list without them :p

Mine:

-Ichigo
-Kenpaci
-Aizen
-Inoue (space/time reversal)
-Ishida (for obvious reasons of being a Quincy)

Oh i forgot to include Hirako in the possibility list, but i still think no other war potential than kenpachi and aizen are in Soul society right now, and Hirako is.
Kenpachi is already stated by juha as one of the war potentials, but he was already on yamamoto side, and Aizen... not explicit "stated", but if the leader of an 1000 years forming army is slaughters an entire world only to talk to someone, he may deem him as at least "good". But nothing said about anybody else, including yamamoto not being one of the 5 war potentials

PS: about the yamamoto not being one of the 5 war potentials :i didnt see that coming, the leader of the shinigamis is not more dangerous than one captain? A sun-guy who can burn an entire dimension [soul society dimension], and entire city/country, not being one of the best? That can only be because one reason: he was fully developed, and the other 5 war potentials are not, which implies that only not fully developed warriors are in the list.... So aizen can still improve his bankai... or he still doesnt have bankai, and can still master it.

It's not a matter of Yoruichi not having a Bankai. All Captains have a Bankai with Kenpachi being the sole exception in SS history.

It's a matter of whenever she decides to use her zanpaktou and Bankai.



Anyways, Uryuu is my 4th pick. Not sure about the 5th though.

So about the war potentials. I would like to have a clarification about Aizen.

In mangareader Juha says: "I asked him to become part of my army as special war potential"

My question is: Does it mean that Aizen always formed part of the 5 wart potential or is it now that Juha is adding him to the list making him the 6th War Potential.

Juha also said that "Of Course he refused" meaning that he knew that he would not join his army. Therefore it can be assumed that they did not count him as a war potential since he was captured and restrained.

clarification needed?

People need to remember that the captain quincy talked about Ishida and never mentioned once he was a special war potential nor did he mention Orihime who was right next to him...however he did mention Ichigo so it leads me to believe that both Ishida and Orihime are not war potentials.

However we know

-Ichigo
-Kenpachi
I can only guess the other 3
-Aizen
-Isshin - His past. his abilities are similar to Ichigo's I wonder if his Bankai is similar.
-Grimmjow?...maybe it looks like he hasn't been captured and is an unknown for now.

I don't think Aizen is a war potential. He would either be an ally or would be spectator. He couldn't team up with the Gotei 13, so at worst, is not part of the Quincy forces.
I personally think the War Potentials are people who have shown exceptional strength without needing bankai.
Alongside Kenpachi and Ichigo, I think candidates could be Unohana, Shunsui (whenever anything happened to old man yama, his reaction was shown, and he was in the flashback, so potential chance of Shunsui being a bad ass?).
Outside the Gotei Captains, I imagine Ishida will be one, due to his special mention early on. Isshin battled on par with Aizen before he went into crysalis mode, where he could take a stupid amount of damage and shrug it of.
Urahara and Yoruichi maybe? Uraharas genius, and Yoruichi's assasin skills could make them very dangerous, especially as Urahara can identify the weakness, Yoruichi could take them out quickly, and are both very strong.

Well, you are wrong (imo) because of this:
No one has told to Ichigo he is a war potential, right?

So why to tell a war potential about another war potential when you are not even telling him he is a war potential?

When Ichigo talked about Ishida Uryuu's power being lower than the hunting captain in hueco mundo, that captain said: "that is impossible", and after being questioned again by ichigo why is that imposible, he said: "oops, i talked too much, speech is silver, silent is golden (or the other way gold-silver, i cant remember the order)

And to ben1, I haven't read with the translation you are speaking about, i read it in mangareader, and juha only said: i asked him to join my army, of course he denied (or declined, cant remember which one exactly)

Am sure ishida ryuken n urahara are in that list!

from what juha said i gathered that the potentials are not only monstrously powerful bt cunning and ruthless!......yama ji had grown too soft!
ishida senior and urahara are some bad guys!......they're not straight they use some dirty tricks!

Still doesn't change the fact I may not be wrong about Ishida being a war potential...

I'm going to throw a curve ball here and say Aizen is not on the list, just for the sake of being different and because of something Juha said about "humans" in the last chapter. I think the list is mostly consisted of such humans and therefore, my list is as follows...

Ichigo
Kenpachi
Orihime
Chad
Ishida

Also, I'd like to go on another limb and say, perhaps Juha made a mistake and miscalculated his "WP" and therefore I'm adding Aizen (the one Juha knows) back to the list and the surprise "WP" will be Chad or Orihime.

And lastly, let's get even crazier and take Chad off the list (sorry) and add...wait for it...Karin as the unexpected "WP".

Ichigo
Kenpanchi
Aizen

These 3 are definite. The reason why I included Aizen is because you can't forget that Captain Aizen is immortal now. The only way to defeat him is to seal him just like that Muramasa wielder (That arc was so dumb I swear to every living thing...). Now the others is a hard guess man. In my opinion im not even sure who it is or can't be.

Shinji's shikai is sick. An upside down reverse reality. & imagine his bankai....but at the same time it can get stolen easily! So he is most likely not the warring 5 potentials...

Shunsui bankai has to be a Shikamaru shadow technique, with the exception that he can travel within his shadow lol. Just j/king but yeah im looking forward to seeing that before he dies (I also believe he is going to die since he has been there for quite sometime).

Ishida and/or father? Likely 1 out of the 2 instead of both of them.

You know what I just don't know!!!

5 war potentials

Urahara
Ichigo
Ukitake
Kyouraku
Aizen/former squad 12 captian

I'm discounting Kenpachi b/c his reiatsu isn't strong enough. I mean to say he was just fodderized in the last couple of chapters...
