okay when were you under the impression that i wasn't going to mention the evil and manipulative mastermind sosuke eisen although youwatch was indeed a much larger threat i believe that eisen deserved recognition due to his insane intellect that was only rivaled by kisake with a hada and most notably the way that he would emotionally and mentally with his opponents to dissolve any semblance of control and confidence that they thought they had shir sama started out as a geeky looking captain of the soul society who worked in the shadows for hundreds of years effectively forming a false image of himself that fooled virtually everyone that worked with him his goal was not only to transcend the limitations of soul reapers and hollows alike but to raid the royal palace and dethrone the soul king himself it was because of iza's obsession with transcendence that he created a hollow soul reaper prototype known as white which after fusing itself with the soul of ichigo's mother manifested into him once he was born and although white was a relative success eisen still thought that he needed the hokioku unlike most soul reapers that excel in one or two areas of combat eisen is a master of sword fighting shumpo hand-to-hand combat and most notably kido as he is able to use high-level ones such as kurohitsugi a black coffin with a gravitational torrent that actively bends time and space itself even without chanting it which to explain it another way it would be like if a harry potter character used one of the unforgivable curses or some other high level spell without waving their wand or actively chanting its name out loud one of his trademark abilities is a shiikai release known as kyoka suigetsu complete hypnosis that alters the five senses after just looking at his blade once with it he could create complex illusions and hide his movements so clean that even the fastest and brightest of the soul society were left befuddled by his big brain plays this ability is so effective that he fooled numerous captains into thinking that they were fighting him the entire time but they had actually been fighting some random chick that was really in the story to get cut down but anyways in effect apart from ichigo only yamamoto was a significant threat but due to his excellent planning and precautions he was able to seal away his flames and come out on top by fusing himself with the hokioku which manipulates one's innermost desires eisen underwent through numerous evolutions each one more powerful than the last to the point that he considered himself a higher dimensional being entirely which given how the power creep in the story developed is not that far-fetched in my opinion it wasn't until ichigo obtained his own transcendent power that eisen was finally defeated and sentenced to prison for over NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN years in the muken a seemingly infinite if not outright infinite space reserved for the biggest and baddest criminals in the soul society that were immortal but of course due to the large threats that yuwash presented shun sui who became the captain commander after yamamoto's death thought it would be necessary to fight evil with evil regardless
