https://www.fanverse.org/threads/hm-ichigo-vs-halibel.1255992/page-4 You know if this were Xelios saying this, it wouldn't surprise me and I would just laugh at it and not even give it a second thought.
But the sad thing is it's not Xelios, it's fucking SABLES. This dumb motherfucker somehow has himself convinced Nnoitra can beat ANY Espada above him (aside from Yammy), in CQC.
And why? Because he flung Kenpachi and cut him up?
We going to ignore Stark going blow for blow with someone who can survive an enraged Yamamoto in CQC...oh what am I saying OF COURSE WE ARE because off-panel feats don't fucking exist unless it suits this piece of shit's agenda for the day. Also Wonderweiss blitz durr.
We going to ignore Harribel outperforming BANKAI Hitsugaya in CQC in BASE form? Or her being able to fend off Hitsugaya + TWO Vaizard Lieutenants using shikai AND masks, both of whom could hold their own with a Hollow Bankai Ichigo for 10 straight minutes without EITHER of those things?
GET THE FUCK OUT WITH THIS REVISIONIST BULLSHIT! No lower ranked Espada is superior to a higher ranked one in ANY way, UNLESS they are specialized for a specific stat and they STILL aren't beating their higher ranked peers. END OF STORY!
