Could someone plzz make a list of all the vasto lordes of bleach?
(and maybe how you know that he/she is a vasto lorde)

Vasto Lorde are the highest classs and most powerful of hollows. You have gillians which are weak mindless beats. Adjuchas like Grimmjow, Nnoitora etc which are strong and intelligent, and Vasto Lordes which is basiclly ascended adjuchas like Ulquiorra, Halibel, Barragan and Stark.

only 3 of them were confirmed to be vosto lord
befor being recruited as espada
1 to 3

nothing was shown about about ulquiora(no 4)
so he might be or not

gimjou was an adjukas but the espada above him like nonoitora or neil may also be vasto lord. befor recruitment

so confirm vasto lord
1 Coyote Starrk & Lilynette Gingerbuck
2 Baraggan Louisenbairn
3 Tier Harribel

other posible vasto lord (before recruitment )

4 Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck
5 Ulquiorra Cifer
6 Nnoitra Gilga
7 Yammy Llargo

however all the arankar which are used in battle were vasto lord
but most of them were transformed by aizen using hogyou-kuu

Vasto lorde are the most powerful group hollows in the hueco Mundo they are rare and extremely powerful the number of vasto lorde in the hueco Mundo can be counted on ur five fingers they were also hollows but removed they're masks and gained shinigami like powers and were later recruited in aizens army but only very few were recruited

None of the Espada were explicitly stated, within the manga, to be of the vasto lorde class.​

Those of the vasto lorde class have fully intact masks and possess purely hollow powers. Your mistaking them for arrancar.​

No, not in the manga were the "stated" to be Vasto Lorde, but it can be highly suspected that at least 3 of its members were infact Vasto Lorde before being recruited.

Coyote Starrk w/ Lilynette Gingerback, both of which were the closest things to appearing as "humanoid" as compared to any of the Espada before Aizen recruited them

Baraggan Louisenbairn, Humanoid size, and Human Skeleton, and the "King" of Los Nochas

Tier Harribel, the only confirmed Vasto Lorde before being recruited by Aizen

It is not stated anywhere that a Vasto Lorde must have an intact mask and possess purely hollow powers. Only thing stated for Vasto Lorde is that its the highest of its evolution of the Menos as well as its third classification.

It is not clear how a hollow can obtain the rank of "Vasto Lorde" other than through cannibalism.

This about sums it up

To still be classified as a hollow, the mask must remain intact... otherwise they'd be classified as arrancar.

As far as suspecting whom of the Espada was previously of the vast lorde classification, it's likely #'s 1-4.

A nice, succinct description of what their appearance should look like was reported by Tōshirō Hitsugaya:

Now, in retrospect of the manga, you'll notice that at the very least, Ulquiorra Clifer falls into that category.

Keep in mind, we know two more things:
  • Grimmjow and his crew were attempting to reach the Vasto Lorde class, they failed
  • Grimmjow did not possess the traits assosciated with that of the Vasto Lorde class

As one can clearly see, there are vastly different physiological appearances between Ulquiorra and Grimmjow.

Technically, none of the Espada have been confirmed as VL. All we have to go off is suspicion and the databooks. Apparently the databooks state that around half of the Espada were VL, which might include past members, but this has no solid backing in the manga as of yet. Ulquiorra does have the trademark VL look and Staark highly resembled a human before being turned to a Arrancar, but again those only give a basis for suspicion, not fact.

Truth is, most people will tell you Harribel is the only confirmed VL, but that is based off material added in the anime, not the manga. At this point, we can only speculate until Kubo goes into more detail on the subject which I believe is coming in the near future.

Stark/Lilynette was so strong that before he/she split he/she killed nearby Hollows by just being there. Its therefore likely that he/she was Vasto Lorde. Baraggan was king of Las Noches, and Harribel was confirmed in the anime. Like Starrke stated, Ulquiorra strongly resembles a Vasto Lorde, and had a Segunda Etapa. Its therefore also likely he was Vasto Lorde. The other Espada excluding Yammy were definitely not Vasto Lorde. Yammy is just a guess though, since without releasing his power pales in comparison to the other Espada.

Vasto Lordes were Hollows that surpassed the Adjuctas level...its stated that Harribel and Stark were Vasto Lordes before they met Aizen because its not only about power level but VLs were also at the captain level and their size and shape is more humanoid that the other hollows...Also we could say that Baraggan was, cause he used to be the King of Las Noches.Grimmjow on the other hand was a panther before he met Aizen so he is not a VL.As for Ulquiorra, we have never seen his previous form or his past so i don't think its right to speculate if he was a Lorde or not...even if he was not one, he surely was on their level....especially with his second release....

It was never stated in the manga that either Harribel or Starrk were of the vasto lorde class.
With that being said, I do agree with the notion of them having been of the vasto lorde class.

As for Ulquiorra, we have seen what his former appearance was like, courtesy of a databook.

Regardless of what it really is, your statement doesn't support the notion that it wasn't.
It existed before Ichigo, just because it hasn't consumed souls since residing him... doesn't mean it didn't prior.​

Hollow ichigo was born when he got his powers at the shattered shaft so there's no way it existed prior to the existence of ichigo

Actually, the hollow inside Ichigo existed before he did. Isshin confirmed this in chapter 535, It really didn't have anything to do with the shattered shaft. But I'm not sure if that hollow was a vasto lorde; it was created from the soul of a dead shinigami after all.
