Summary[]
Yammy Llargo (ヤミー・リヤルゴ, Yamī Riyarugo) is an antagonist of Bleach's arrancar saga. As one of the only people accompanying Ulquiorra, he follows him to the world of the living. He is ranked as the Decimo espada (10), meaning he is one of the elite Arrancars under Aizen. When he releases, his size increases and his rank changes to that of Cero Espada (0), meaning he gains the rank of the strongest espada. Though he has an arrogant personality, his true abilities aren't to be underestimated.
Powers and Stats[]
Tier: at least 6-B, likely far higher with base power, higher with Cero, 6-A with Gran Rey, at least High 6-A with Resurección, High 6-A+ with Cero Oscuras, even higher with Resurección Gran Rey Cero, at least High 6-A with Maximal Resurección, at least 5-C with Cero Oscuras, even higher with Maximal Resurección Gran Rey Cero
Name: Yammy Llargo
Origin: BLEACH
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown, at least 200 years (Szayelaporro remembers speaking to him 200 years ago)
Classification: Arrancar, Espada, Hollow, Soul.
Powers and Abilities: Soul and Hollow Physiology (High-Tier on both, as the strongest espada.), limited Regeneration (Yammy regenerates his body parts when he goes into a higher form of Resurección.), Large Size (Type 2 in his Resurección, which dwarves humans[Cite 1].), Size Manipulation, Statistics Amplification, and Rage Power (Rage is the source of Yammy's power[Cite 2]. Even in base it lets him grow in size and strength[Cite 3], while his Resurección amplifies his statistics, and he can continue increasing his size and power once he's in his Resurección due to his anger[Cite 4].), Soul Absorbption (Yammy can suck out the souls of people, eating them for his own nutrition[Cite 5][Cite 6].), Light Manipulation (Yammy can fire large Ceros and interact with them[Cite 7], which are consistently noted as being made of light.), Heat Manipulation (Yammy's ceros are shown to vaporize structures made of rock[Cite 8].), Resistance to Disassembly (Yammy is unaffected by Orihime's Koten Zanshun[Cite 9], which separates the union of matter[Cite 10][Cite 11].)
Attack Potency: at least Country level, likely far higher with base power (As a Vasto Lorde Arrancar, Yammy posseses powers far exceeding that of normal captain-class characters[Cite 12], making him superior to low to mid-tier captains such as Soul Society arc Mayuri and Gin. Espadas are consistently regarded as being in a completely different level to fracciones, and superior to all other arrancars. This would mean Yammy is in a completely different level of power to people like Yylfort and superior to Privaron Espada like Dordoni, and this is where his scaling primarily comes from. He consistently is able to obliterate fraccion-class Arrancars[Cite 13] like Loly and Menoly, and can crush Roka Paramia's skull[Cite 14]. His Spiritual pressure is sensed by the Research and Development division, and they register it as espada level[Cite 15]. Can block attacks[Cite 16] from Toshiro Hitsugaya and break his Shikai Ice, which gets him thinking he should use Bankai against Yammy[Cite 15].[Statistics Values 1]), higher with Cero (His Cero is noted as being capable of killing Yoruichi Shihoin[Cite 17], when she was previously stomping him, implying his Cero is above his regular physicals.), Continent level with Gran Rey Cero (This is the strongest variation of an amplified Cero which the espada can use[Cite 18][Cite 19][Cite 20], making it stronger than the Cero oscuras which magnifies attack potency an order of magnitude[Cite 21]. This would mean it amplifies base Yammy's attack potency over 10x, as an order of magnitude increase is a 10x increase. Gran Rey Cero from espada are specifically noted to be capable of destroying Las Noches itself[Cite 22]. Considering Ceros' consistently demonstrated abilities to vaporize and their photonic composition, a conservative estimation quantifies it as as this strong.[Cite 23]), at least Multi-Continent level with Resurección (The espada are ranked according to their power level, making Yammy the strongest espada in his Resurección form, as his rank changes to 0 in this form[Cite 24]. This would make him superior to Segunda Etapa Ulquiorra, Tier Harribel, Baraggan Louisenbairn, and Coyote Starrk each in their respective Resurecciónes. He easily deals with Renji, Rukia, and Chad practically playing with them[Cite 25]. He physically clashes[Cite 25] with Post Resurección Bankai Ichigo, although he was at half power {check his profile for reasoning}, and damages him with Balas. Yammy is indeed ranked correctly as the Cero espada, as he is weaker than any espada in base, and stronger than any espada in Resurección[Cite 26]. It is only half as strong as his Maximal form, as when he enters it, his power doubles {read below}. This is where his scaling primarily comes from in this form. He states Ulquiorra, Nnoitra, and Grimmjow are trash compared to him in this form[Cite 27], and this is a knowledge claim he is equipped to make, as he sensed Ulquiorra. Although he typically struggles with Pesquisa[Cite 28], it is confirmed in databooks he used it here[Cite 29], which lets arrancars understand power levels[Cite 30].[Statistics Values 2]), higher with Cero (As explained previously, Yammy's cero gives him a boost in attack potency on top of his regular physicals.), at least Multi-Continent level+ with Cero Oscuras (A cero oscuras multiplies Yammy's Cero attack power by an order of magnitude[Cite 21].[Statistics Values 3]), even higher with Gran Rey Cero (As explained before, this technique gives an even greater amplification than a Cero Oscuras, as it is the strongest Cero variation.), at least Multi-Continent level with Maximal Resurección (This form itself is stated to be amongst the three strongest powers in Hueco Mundo by Cien Grantz, even while he is aware of Ulquiorra's Lanza de Relampago, making it superior to that[Cite 31]. This form doubles his Resurección form's power, and it entirely surpasses Grimmjow, Nnoitra, and Ulquiorra[Cite 32], supporting the idea that it makes him stronger than even their strongest techniques.[Statistics Values 4]), higher with Cero (Yammy can fire a Giant cero in this form. As explained previously, Yammy's cero gives him an attack power boost.), at least Moon level with Cero Oscuras (This technique magnifies Yammy's Cero attack power by 10x, as explained previously. Using this, he inflicted severe wounds[Cite 33] upon Byakuya and Kenpachi. Databooks state inflicting deep wounds upon Byakuya and Kenpachi makes his power worthy of the position of the Cero Espada[Cite 34] {which means strongest espada}, implying that his power is truly worthy of being called the strongest. Furthermore, it implies every other espada could damage them with surface-level wounds at best, as only he can inflict severe wounds upon them and only he is worthy of being called the Cero Espada {as there can only be one}. This would also means he can harm people who scale to his own durability, which is around this strong for reasons given below.[Statistics Values 5]), even higher with Gran Rey Cero (This technique amplifies Yammy's attack potency even further than a Cero Oscuras, for reasoning explained previously.)
Speed: at least Relativistic+ (As an espada, Yammy is in a completely different level to Fraccion like Yylfort and in an overall sense and should be at least comparable to Privaron like Dordoni and is capable of reacting to and keeping up[Cite 16] with Toshiro Hitsugaya[SCALING NOTES 1]. He reacts[Cite 9] to Orihime's fullbring.[Statistics Values 6]), higher with Cero (This technique can catch Yoruichi, who was previously outspeeding him.), at least FTL+ with Bala (This technique multiplies his Cero attack speed by 20x.), Massively FTL with Resurección (Should not be too far off from his Cero attack speed. Cien's statement implies overall superiority over all other powers, as they would be the three most effective at killing someone, meaning Yammy's speed should be at least similar in speed to Segunda Etapa Ulquiorra[SCALING NOTES 2].[Statistics Values 7]), higher with Ceros (As shown previously, Yammy's Cero amplifies his speed. He uses his ceros to inflict wounds upon Byakuya and Kenpachi.), Massively FTL+ with Bala (This technique amplifies Yammy's Cero attack speed by 20x.[Statistics Values 8])
Lifting Strength: at least Class M, likely far higher (As an espada, he is far superior in lifting strength to Fracciones like Abirrama Redder.), higher with Resurección (Only half as strong as his Maximal form.), Class G with Maximal Resurección (Twice as strong as his Resurección form, as it doubles his physical strength too.)
Striking Strength: at least Country level, likely far higher (Comparable to his attack potency, as he almost exclusively attacks with physical strikes.), at least Multi-Continent level with Resurección (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes.), at least Multi-Continent level with Maximal Resurección (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes.)
Durability: at least Country level, likely far higher (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes. He posseses Hierro, which amplifies hardness to ward off sword strikes[Cite 28], and his is the second hardest Amongst the espadas[Cite 35]. This makes his Hierro durability amplification the second best amongst the espada. He strikes with full force directly into Ichigo's Shikai[Cite 36], and he doesn't even get knicked when doing this.[Cite 15].[Statistics Values 1]), at least Multi-Continent level+ with Resurección and Maximal Resurección (Can withstand the force of his own physical strikes. A black Getsuga Tensho from Hollowified Ichigo barely knicks Yammy[Cite 25][Cite 37].[Statistics Values 3])
Stamina: Superhuman: Should be far superior to Shikai Ichigo in the Soul Society arc, who could run through the Dangai for a week straight, and could train with Urahara for 5 days straight.
Range: Standard Melee Range normally, Hundreds of Kilometers with Ranged attacks, such as Ceros.
Standard Equipment: Zanpakutō
Intelligence: Below Average: Yammy is portrayed as more of a brute than anything else, and he struggles with a lot of basic Arrancar abilities.
Weaknesses: He tends to rush into fights without sensing the opponent's spiritual pressure first, and he struggles with Pesquisa. He is also lacking when it comes to intelligence.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Resurección (帰刃, Japanese for "Returning Blade" | レスレクシオン, Resurekushion; Spanish for "Resurrection"): this transformation allows Yammy to regain his old form as a hollow. It massively increases his statistics. It allows him to gain power from his own anger, and while in base he can quickly increase his size due to his anger, in Resurección he does it by transforming.
- Rage power: Yammy's power increases when he's enraged, and if he gets enraged enough, he can go into his biggest form, which doubles his power.
- Cero (虚閃, Hollow Flash; セロ, cero): this is a powerful spiritual light which hollows make out of their own spiritual pressure.
- Cero Oscuras (黒虚閃, Black Hollow Flash | セロ・オスキュラス, Dark Cero): an enhanced version of a cero which contains an order of magnitude more power.
- Gran Rey Cero (王虚の閃光, King Hollow Flash of light | グラン・レイ・セロ, Grand King Cero): this is the strongest enhanced Cero variation, which causes space to visibly distort around it.
- Bala (虚弾, Hollow Bullet | バラ, Bullet): an attack where the user can condense their spiritual pressure, and fire it at twenty times the speed of a cero. Its overall power is weaker, though it does carry a stronger striking strength and it can be successively fired at a faster rate.

Scaling Notes[]
For explanations on the scaling and conclusions made on the profile.
- ↑ the scaling chain is: Uryu = .606c < Mayuri < Byakuya ~ Renji ~ Yylfort ~ Yammy at least and Uryu = .606c < Mayuri < Byakuya ~ Shikai Ichigo <<< Hueco Mundo Shikai Ichigo ~ Dordoni ~ Yammy at least, since he should be at least relative to some extent, as one of the arrancars with outstanding combat capabilities.
- ↑ Yammy has superior spiritual pressure, and although he's not a speed main, this supports the idea that he should be this fast. He also tags Byakuya and Kenpachi in their fight, and though it's with a cero, his speed shouldn't be too drastically below his regular speed
