Which of the Special War Powers was the MVP of the Thousand-Year Blood War? Who had the greatest impact? And if you could choose any character to be the 6th notable threat, who would you pick and why? Let me know in the comments!

Urahara is the most dangerous imo. The man is the complete package. Uber smart, resourceful, and extremely powerful.

By Ichibei's wisdom, I feel they are talking about his experience. He's as close to all-knowing as anyone in Soul Society. He's seen it all.

Remember, Kubo's last chapter he released mentions how Yhwach and Aizen kept Hell in check. Just shows how strong of a power Aizen is.

I think Ichibei knowing the true name of all zanpakuto adds to his wisdom being classified as a threat. It did wonders for Renji

Also Ichibei's spot is fitting given he's the personification of Soul Society's history, with him having been present during the Spirit King's mutilation and then carrying on the ancestors will. I'm sure his knowledge of the universe is widespread, including being privy to information even Urahara and Aizen lack, as crazy as that sounds.

I think the reason Ichibei was the "Wisdom" Special War Threat is because of his history. He was there when they utilized the Soul King to divide and stabilize the realms. He had intimate knowledge of the process and how everything worked. If anyone could create a plan to slow/stop/reverse Yhwach plan. It would be him. I mean, he planned on using Ichigo as a replacement for the Soul King had things not worked out with killing Yhwach. So that just goes to show his threat.

The Quincies having Gotei 13 dead to rights in terms of intelligence while the Shinigami had none in turn is pure but understandable hubris on the Shinigami's part . They thought they finished them the last time and the subsequent wipe out attempts. Ironic that Kisuke and Aizen shared this list yet unsurprising given their unique abilities and skills. Ichigo's willingness to break all norms to save others with his epic hybrid power including defying death itself sure makes his placement worthy.

The reason Yamamoto isn't a threat isn't out of spite. It's because he's not an unknown. Yhwach knows how powerful he is, and because he's gotten soft, he isn't capable of the same ruthlessness that would make him unpredictable. Thus, he can be planned around. As we see happen. The old Yamamoto wouldn't have become reckless and blinded by grief by the death of his subordinates like Chojiro and the carnage Seireitei was experiencing during that first invasion. He would take it in stride and retain his ruthless edge. And who knows what kind of cold and even cruel strategies he would formulate at the cost of his subordinates to ensure victory.

Power alone isn't enough to become a war POTENTIAL. Otherwise Unohana and all of the 0 Division, Shunsui and Ukitake too possibly, would be counted among them.

“While I would say being unquestionably the ‘weakest’ of 5, Kisuke’s ability to predict, prepare for, and counter every eventuality makes him perhaps THE MOST DANGEROUS on the list..” This sums up Urahara perfectly. He is danger. Danger’s his middle name.

Special war power 6 Mayuri Kurotsuchi his ability to low key hard carry. From identifying the quincies, creating a hollow army, resurrecting the zombies including several captains, contributing to stopping bankai theft, saving Kenpachi's life, and defeating one of the quincy's most elite guards.

Kiske is so dangerous for a few reasons... Not just his intelligence, which makes him crazy like a fox.. but Benihime.. his bankai.  He can alter the physicality of anything he cuts.. with Kiske's intelligence makes him nearly impossible to kill... allows him to tailor himself to be the counter to anyone.. he's pretty much the hard counter for everyone in the seretei...

Late to the discussion, but regarding Ichibe's wisdom, he's the one who decided to go down and grab the fallen Shinigamis who upon their return were massively powerful and the one who decided to prepare Ichigo as the replacement. You could say that it was this decision that saved the soul society.
Not only that, had it not been for the awakening of the all mighty, he actually did defeat the Quincy King in the first place.

There are a few possibilities for a 6th Special War Powers (but only a few of them really lived up to the potential):
- Majuri Kurotsuchi: He has massive knowledge on Quincys and their powers and he was the person creating an anti-Quincy-space before the second invasion. Also Askin didn't want to fight him either and he managed to take down one of the most powerful Quincy in Perneida
- Shinji Hirako (and by extension the other Vizard Captains): They are Shinigami-Hollow-Hybrids which should protect their Bankai from being stolen and their Hollow Powers should have given them some advantage against the Quincys as they are weak to Hollows
- Orihime and Tsukishima: While unsure if the Wandenreich was aware of Tsukishima and his powers they definitely knew about Orihime and her power to rewind time which should have made her a prime target for elimination
-Yachiru Unohana: Yhwach has seen her fight 1000 years ago, she hasn't lost her lust for battle she chose to supress it and she is (after Orihime) the best medic
- Yamamoto: as stated in the video
- Kyoraku (and to some degree Ukitake): Kyoraku and Ukitake were both stated to be extremely powerful with some flaws holding them back (Kyoraku was too laid back and Ukitake was always sick). The only change between 1st invasion and 2nd invasion Kyoraku was his position and his attitude after Yamamoto's death and he still managed to force Lille into his holy form which all of squad 0 excluding Ichibei couldn't do
- Ryuuken Ishida and Isshin Kurosaki: Ryuuken is known as "the last Qunicy" and the only one of their kind thats still alive and not part of their vendetta against Soul Society. He is shown to have crucial information about the Vandenreich and he is the one to create and deliver the Stillsilver Arrow. Isshin showed how strong he is in the fight against Aizen where he in combination with Kisuke and Yoruichi managed to overpower the form of Aizen that wiped the floor with most of the Gotei 13 Captains and the Vizards, Aizen stated himself that if not for the Hyogokyu he would have lost then and there.

Their list was on point. These five turned the battle. Three of them clashed with Yhwach himself

The 5 Special War Powers.
1. Kenpachi Zaraki for his combat skills.
2. Sosuke Aizen for his enormous spiritual powers.
3. Ichigo Kurosaki for his growth rate.
4. Kisuke Urahara for his genius intellect.
5. Ichibē Hyōsube for his immense wisdom.
Can you imagine if these 5 actually teamed up?

I like Kisuke Urahara because he seems to know what everyone is thinking at every moment in the whole bleach story, which i think where his intelligence really comes from and to come up with a plan to counteract or play around it with allies, similiar to a chess grandmaster, and his attitude is so chill and troll sometimes.

Urahara and Ichigo are the most threatening. Urahara with his extreme intellegence, a frigtening strategist weather in or out of the battfield, and his own abilites are amazing and pretty powerful. (And he managed to convince Grimmjow of all arrancar's to help fight). I include ichigo because I believe that Zangetsu is the greatest and most terryfiying Zanpakuto, now that Ichigo has finally come to know the truth he's defiently one to be feared on the battefield with his tremdously awesome defensive and offensive dual Zanpakuto. But I think the list of the special war powers are sensiblly chosen and perfect threats for the Quincy's.

Ichibei deserves major credit for training the kuchikis, renji and ichigo for sure.

Ironically the quinces not only failed to see the potential in Byakuya, Rukia and Renji, but they also failed to recognize the twisted brilliance of Mayuri, and just how incredibly successful Kyoraku could be as a commander.

I heard that the Schutzstaffel could be the Quincy Versions of the Special War Powers

Ichigo = Pernida - Both can evolve to reach their potential
Kisuke = Askin - Both are intelligent and can counter each other's strategies
Kenpachi = Gerard - both constantly get stronger
Aizen= Lile - Both are immortal plus he can penetrate anything with his Gun
Ichibei= Only Yhwach could beat him otherwise everyone else is dead
Jugram might stand a chance but it's uncertain
