Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto is arguably the most popular and best-selling manga and together with Bleach and One Piece, is regarded as one of the most iconic series under Shonen Jump’s Big Three. With over 250 million copies in circulation worldwide, Masashi Kishimoto achieved a notable feat by earning a dedicated following, particularly among Western audiences.

Over the years, Naruto fans have not only experienced the heartbreaking deaths of beloved characters but also explored the darker aspects of the ninja world in depth. Besides the intriguing plot and thrilling action scenes, Kishimoto also introduced many compelling characters, that left a lasting impression on the audience.

Among all the legendary figures, Madara Uchiha is, undoubtedly, one of the strongest characters in the entire Naruto series. As the legendary Uchiha Clan leader, Madara Uchiha was an exceptional shinobi; yet, Bleach fans claim Aizen remains unmatched by even the strongest ninja.

Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Part 3 has returned for the Fall 2024 anime season and is making a huge buzz online. TYBW focuses on the conflict between the Soul Society and the Wandenreich, a hidden Quincy faction.

Ichigo’s comeback was met with positive feedback, earning widespread applause for its improved animation and refined picture quality. Following Sōsuke Aizen’s defeat, Yhwach rises as a vengeful new threat to the Soul Society, with Part 1 boldly highlighting his overwhelming strength.

Sōsuke Aizen was perhaps the perfect archetype of a captain — until his betrayal of the 13 Court Guard Squads finally came to light. The supervillain Sōsuke Aizen kept all his best powers and tricks hidden for many years until he was ready to make his move.

Aizen effortlessly held his ground against multiple Soul Reapers and Visoreds, relying solely on his tools and never needing to unleash his Bankai, even when vastly outnumbered.

Madara and Aizen are undeniably two of the greatest villains in their respective universes, sparking constant debates over who reigns supreme, though for many Bleach fans, Aizen often takes the crown.

Interestingly, EoS Aizen held his ground against Yhwach’s Almighty, arguably the most overpowered ability in the entire Bleach universe. All thanks to the Almighty skill, Yhwach will be able to transform any part of reality to his own liking without limits.

Though Yhwach could foresee the future, EoS Aizen even fooled Yhwach’s Almighty thanks to Kyoka Suigetsu, which literally was like rewriting the future.

Indeed, Aizen stands as an unbeatable foe and even Madara would have the hardest timing to tackle Aizen’s Hogyoku. However, this doesn’t mean Madara is inferior to Aizen; in a one-on-one fight, Madara could likely outsmart Aizen and overcome his tricks.

Why Bleach needs a Quincy Blood war Spin-Off

In TYBW Part 1, Yhwach devastated the Soul Society, even defeating its strongest captain and Gotei 13 leader, Genryūsai Yamamoto. Yamamoto’s shocking end left fans in awe. While Yamamoto might have been an elderly Soul Reaper, he demonstrates a glimpse of his terrifying Bankai in TYBW Part 1.

With his Bankai’s apocalyptic fire-based powers, Yamamoto won, only to realize that his enemy was another Sternritter merely posing as Yhwach.

Though Yamamoto fell victim to Yhwach’s cheap tricks, the terrifying power of his Bankai left fans amazed, fueling speculation about his prime days.

Yamamoto’s death marked the end of a thousand years of Soul Society history. Tricked, stripped of his power, and killed in a humiliating manner, his peace had made him vulnerable. This has sparked fans’ hopes for a Bleach spin-off exploring his prime during the Quincy Blood War.
