as the title says; to coin a DBZ phrase...
what do we think about "power levels"?
at which point in the espada do they stop becoming gillian, start becoming adjuchas, and enter the realm of vasto lorde? or is a gillian as able to become #1 as a vasto lorde, given the right circumstances?
for example; Ulquiorra is the first rumoured vasto lorde. we can assume everyone above him is also vasto lorde. but both Szayel and Aaroneerio (?) are both old espada and, i believe, gillian. Grimmjow is the highest adjuchas rank i can think of (not sure about Nnoitra), meaning the black espada (can't remember his name ~ he's shite anyway) is the lowest adjuchas.
in other words, could Yammy be #1 in different circumstances? or would the higher espada ranks be reserved for vast lorde? or would the vasto lorde just kill the current incumbents to take their places?

this has been discussed before... but I can't remember where to point you at the thread so what the hey lets discuss it again! firstly the is only 1 gillian Espada. Aaroniero, he even explains he is the only Gillian Espada. IT is also possible that he wasn't created by the Hogyoku as Zommari (the Black Espada) states that he is the last of the original Espada. So that throws levels all out of whack and it means while Aaroniero is a Gillian Yammy is an Adjuchas, who is out ranked by a Gillian But there again Yammy does just seem to suck We also know that Arrancar created with the Hogyoku are more powerful than those natually created. But then that begs the question, exactly how long has this set of Espada existed as Aizen hasn't had the Hogyoku that long. yet Nnoitra was around in Nel's day... while it's true we don't know how long ago that was, for me it seems a bit of a stretch for so much changed to have occured in only a few months (Nnoitra gaining 3 Espada places, and the visual difference, Kubo doesn't tend to change the appearance of his characters for only a few months growth.) But I also think it should be noted Kubo does seem to forget details... such as a character stating that there are only 2 Twin-type Zanpakuto... then another one shows up! So whether all of these Espada were made with the Hogyoku or not I can't decide. I was getting the impression it was certainly leaning that way after what "Don Panini" ( ) said about the Privaron Espada, how they were replaced because Aizen started creating Arrancar with the Hogyoku.
