To be honest I can't believe that this thread hasn't been made before now.
Okay, the mission here is simple. Who do you think is the Primera Espada? And 2nd and 3rd while we're at it.
Put simply... I might be a fool in saying but despite Barragan's appearances and attitude. I don't think he's the strongest espada. In fact of all of the three, I think he's probably the weakest there.
I think the order goes:
1. Stark
2. Halibel
3. Barragan
Why is Barragan on the end, you may wander? Well, I'll refer you to a few suggestions in the manga.
After Aizen is trapped within Old Man Yama's Ryuujinjakka's Jokaku Enjo;
Halibel tells Barragan that "I think you under estimate Aizen, Barragan". Barragan replies "I think you under estimate me, Halibel".
For one... if Barragan was superior to Halibel - then why would Halibel be under estimating her superior? Logically that remark shouldn't make sense if he was stronger.
Also when he was demanding that he can do the orders; Barragan specifically looked over at Stark. And Stark told him "sure, why not?" with a shrug... again, if Barragan was the strongest espada then he wouldn't have bothered to ask Stark's permission or concent on him issuing the orders.
And lets remember that Lilinette then smacked Stark one for giving Barragan his OK. Surely that suggests that she's unhappy that Stark isn't bothered with Barragan sorting out the strategy?
As for why I think Stark is the Primera Espada? Simply, subtle suggestions. More or less everytime something happens which would concern all of the espada's attention (from chapter 316 onwards - not sure about before then), it always puts Starks reaction first.
As proof...: 316 page 07 - 8. *Order of Stark, Barragan, Halibel*.
316 Page 11 *Order of Stark, Barragan, Halibel*
(316 Page 12-13 *Only shows Stark*)
316 Page 15 *Order of Stark, Barragan, Halibel*
I've even looked on other forums. In a recent poll... the outcome was:
For Primera Espada:
Stark with 203 votes
Barragan with 115 votes
And Halibel with 59 votes.
The fanbase have spoken.
I'm not entirely sure on who's the second and third espada out of Halibel and Barragan though.
