Top Five Sternritters

I am still working on my list for top ten Male Voice Actors so in the mean time I thought I'd write a top ten for my favourite Sternritter from Bleach and who are the main antagonists of this arc. SPOILERS.


5. BG9



 

Possibly the only robot in the Bleach universe, BG9 is the letter K in the Sternritter and it is still unknown what it stands for (I think it could be for "The Knowledge"). BG9 has an awesome character design and he has a cool long ranged fighting style where he uses tendrils, missiles and even a massive mini gun. He was last seen with Chang Du and seemly executed with him however I am one of the many who believe that they are both still alive and that BG9 could even be upgraded to BG10.

4. As Nodt



 

Sternritter F for "The Fear" and As Nodt definitely deserves that title, he also has the distinction with being one of the few who has defeated Byakuya Kuchiki. You can tell that Kubo spent a long time with the design for As because it is so detailed but I wish his backstory was explored even more. His Vollstandig is also one of the most original in the Sternritters and his it was always cool to see him use his fear powers, whether it was turning himself in to a monster or showing Byakuya a melted Rukia. He recently died in battle against Rukia and it was one of the best in this arc.


3. NaNaNa Najahkoop

 

The first Sternritter to be introduced during the first invasion outside of the column of fire, NaNaNa is the Sternritter U but it is yet to be revealed what it stands for. He has the most unique design out of all of the Sternritters and I really like his personality, however Kubo has really been unfair to this character. We never got to see his fight with Rose, he observed Renji for a whole night and saying that "red monkey" will soon be finished he has yet to fight him. The worst of it was that in the lastest chapter he was seemingly defeated off screen by Byakuya, it just annoys me that Kubo keeps doing this. Still I am looking forward to seeing NaNaNa in a real fight and I hope he does defeat Renji because that is what the hype has been building to.

2. Giselle Gewelle

Probably the most craziest character Kubo has ever created for Bleach; Giselle Gewelle "The Zombie" has the power to turn both Soul Reapers and Quincies into zombies that obey her every command. Giselle was mostly a back ground character when she was first introduced but with the March of the Zombies chapters we get to see just how insane she really is, she doesn't just like battle, she gets off on it. She is not above using her own comrades as zombies and she is also one of the most perverted characters ever, this is really shown in her facial expressions. Unfortunately Kubo has now turned the attention away from the recent awesome March of the Zombies chapters to focuses more on Pepe and I do not like that. I was really enjoying seeing Giselle and her zombies and it doesn't even look like we will even get a proper conclusion to it any time soon.


1. Gremmy Thourmeaux

My most favourite is Sternritter V "The Visionary". I like Gremmy because he is so sadistic and one of the most arrogant characters there is. His power is also one of the coolest in Bleach even though Kubo could have done more with it. He also mercilessly killed two captains while they were injured unlike most villains who like to give the heroes a chance by going in to a big monologue. His fight with Kenpachi is also one of the best during this arc and even though he was defeated (and it was revealed his true body is a brain) I really hope we see more of him in the future.
