“ | You seem to be having difficulty grasping the nature of the ability I possess. Each of the Espada holds dominion over a different form of death. The ten different paths that can lead a human to death. This is reflected in their individual abilities, their ideologies, and forms the basis of their existence. Isolation. Sacrifice. Emptiness. Despair. Destruction. Intoxication. Insanity. Avarice. Rage. And the form of death over which I hold dominion is 'age'. 'Age', that is to say, 'time'. The greatest, and most absolute form. The death that inevitably awaits all things. | „ |
~ Baraggan to Suì-Fēng |

“ | Insects, insects, insects! Shinigami, humans, Hollows, Arrancar, all of their differences and strife, will, freedom, beasts, plants, the moon and stars and sun - all of it is meaningless! There is but one absolute in this world, and that is my power! Everything outside of that is as tiny and meaningless as an insect! It is only natural for I, wielder of the ultimate power over all, to hold dominion over the world!! Among a number of competing powers, equality can never be found. But observe! In these hollow eyes of mine, the lives you bear are no greater than those of mere ants! | „ |

Powers and Stats
Tier: At least 6-A, High 6-A with Gran Rey Cero, High 6-A with Resurreccion, higher with Cero Oscuras, far higher with Gran Rey Cero
Name: Baraggan Louisenbairn, God-King of Hueco Mundo
Origin: Bleach
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Classification: Arrancar, 2nd Espada, Former King of Hueco Mundo
Powers and Abilities:
- Soul Physiology and Hollow Physiology (Soul: High-Tier/Hollow: High-Tier Arrancar)
- Expert Axemanship (As the Segunda Espada and the previous king of Hueco Mundo, Baraggan is an extremely skilled and experienced swordsman, being capable of wielding his axe with great precision and timing, but given Baraggan's boastful nature and heavy reliance on his Senescencia he rarely shows off his skill)
- Immortality (Type 2 - Baraggan can survive after having half of his head blown off[1])
- Self-Sustenance (All Types - Baraggan had most if not all of his skin, muscles and internal organs aged away[2], including his brain while in Resurreccion but can still function perfectly without them[1])
- Passive Time Dilation (Given Baraggan's aspect of death being "Senescencia"[3], Baraggan can control and manipulate time within a localized area[3], doing so granting him a couple extremely powerful effects, one of them being a passive time dilation field that constantly exudes from his body[3], this field slows the movements of anything that's trying to interact with him[3], allowing him to react to the attacks of others who would be normally faster then him[3])
- Passive Corrosion Inducement, Durability Negation, and Age Manipulation (via Time Manipulation) (Barragan's Resurrección - Arrogante greatly increases the aging properties of his base Senescencia to whole different level[2], with his base form being able to age anything he touches[3], even those of Shinigami who can live for thousands of years[3], this amplified form is applied through a thick, miasmic cloud of black vapor[2], this mist is passively generated by Baraggan[2] and can be exuded either from his mouth[4] or hands[2], this vapor can instantly corrode and age everything with a life-span[1], be it inorganic objects like stone or steel[2], or even the bodies of captain-level Shinigami[2])
- Possible Limited Willpower Manipulation (Baraggan directly states that he can age "Will and Freedom" but given Baraggan's untimely death he wasn't able to show off such ability[1])
- Forcefield Creation (Baraggan passively exudes a barrier that protects his outside form from his aging mist, this barrier doesn't apply to his insides though[5])
- Limited Weapon Creation (Baraggan created Gran Caída from nothingness[6])
Attack Potency: At least Continent level+ (As an Espada, Baraggan would be stronger than the Privaron Espada, such as Dordoni[8][9][10][11], since Nnoitra claims the current Espada are stronger than the previous[12], which is supported by the databooks which claim the Espada are above all other Arrancar[13], and the power of the Espada make the Fraccion's pale in comparison[14]; additionally, the Espada are ranked according to their power, making Baraggan stronger than Harribel[15][16]. He also effortlessly tossed around Soi-Fon[17][18] [Statistics Values 1]), Multi-Continent level with Gran Rey Cero (Gran Rey Cero is the most powerful enhanced version of the Cero[19], making it a greater amplification than Cero Oscuras which is 10x[20], it was calculated to be this strong but scales higher via powerscaling [Statistics Values 2]), Multi-Continent level with Resurreccion (Stronger than Resurreccion Harribel [Statistics Values 3]), higher with Cero Oscuras (All Espada can use this technique in their release forms[21] which amplifies their normal Cero by 10x [Statistics Values 4]), far higher with Gran Rey Cero (It is the ultimate Cero, it was calculated to be this strong but scales higher via powerscaling), Respira ignores conventional durability (It was able to age Jakuho Raikoben, albeit it needed to be projected far ahead of Baraggan[22][23], and Cien claims it is among the most powerful abilities in Hueco Mundo, excluding Cien's full transformation and Aizen[24], meaning it would be capable of aging things as strong as Ulquiorra's Lanza del Relampago)
Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Superior or at least comparable to Nnoitra) | Massively Hypersonic (Superior or at least comparable to Resurrección Nnoitra, his Respira can keep up with Suì-Fēng)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Far stronger than Abirama) | Class M (Stronger than before)
Striking Strength: At least Continent level+ (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he is a physical brawler in his base form), Multi-Continent level with Resurreccion (Comparable to his Attack Potency, he's stronger than Resurreccion Harribel, and he has an axe that he can presumably use to attack with)
Durability: At least Continent level+ (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he can withstand the force of her own strikes [Statistics Values 5]), Multi-Continent level with Resurreccion (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he should be able to swing his axe around without ripping his own arm off, and his Respira acts as a shield covering his body to prevent attacks from reaching him [Statistics Values 6])
Stamina: Superhuman (Vastly weaker characters can fight for days without issue and also with injuries that would be fatal to even the hardiest of normal humans. Capable of fighting even with his body rotting away)
Range: Extended Melee Range with Arrogante; Kilometers with Cero, Gran Rey Cero, Cero Oscuras.
Standard Equipment: His Zanpakutō, Arrogante, Caja Negación
Intelligence: Baraggan is quite the insightful character as his appearance may give. He was able to deduce that the Jūreichi was a fake and its four pillars needed to be destroyed first in order to reveal the real Jūreichi. In fact, he further concluded that the four pillars would be in the cardinal points. He is also quite the effective leader as he commanded large armies of Hollows when he was originally king of Hueco Mundo thousands of years ago.
Weaknesses: The barrier he uses to protect himself from the effects of his ability can be negated if his Respira somehow enters his own body.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Cero: A powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy fired in a laser like fashion that only Hollows, Arrancars, and Visoreds can use. The power, force, speed, and blast area of the Cero is dependent on the strength, spiritual power, and sometimes skill of the user.
- Gran Rey Cero: A much more powerful Cero only accessible to the Espada. By mixing their blood with a Cero, the Espada can discharge a blast that can distort space and is powerful enough to destroy Las Noches.
- Cero Oscuras: A powerful Cero that can only be used by the Espada in their Resurrección. This Cero is powerful enough to destroy Las Noches as well.
Bala: An Arrancar ability similar to Cero, except it's weaker and 20 times faster.
Sonído: The Arrancar equivalent of Shunpo; however, is more akin to teleporting as the character completely disappears from senses from point A to point B.
Hierro: An ability that allows Arrancars to harden their skin with Reiyroku to defend against incoming attacks.
Pesquisa: An energy sensing technique that allows Arrancars to sense any foes nearby and gauge how strong they are.
Descorrer: An Arrancar technique that allows them to travel between Hueco Mundo and the Living World.
Caja Negacion: These cubes are capable of sealing away an enemy from the battlefield for a very long time, even foes that are far stronger, however the time limit for the stronger foes is much shorter than those on the same level as him.
Senescencia: Baraggan's aspect of death as an Espada is aging. He possesses abilities based around time manipulation due to it.
- Time Dilation Field: A field that surrounds Baraggan that slows the time around him. It prevents surprise attacks and slows all attacks while leave the attacker open for a counter.
- Age Acceleration: Baraggan can rapidly accelerate the aging of whatever he touches. It is rapid enough to accelerate the aging of Suì-Fēng's arm to a point of being brittle enough to instantly break.
Resurrección: The Arrancar equivalent of a Shikai/Bankai, this form allows an Arrancar to unleash their true power as a Hollow.
Arrogante: Baraggan's Resurrección that is released upon the command Decay. His person is entirely shrouded in a dark cloak and his body is transformed to a skeleton with a crown. It grants new abilities and further amplifies his previous abilities.
- Respira: Baraggan generates a miasma that spreads outwards to rapidly age everything caught in it or making contact with it. It can even affect inanimate objects or energy projections like Kidō. The aging is rapid enough to near-instantly turn skeletonize Suì-Fēng's arm despite her Shinigami being able to live over thousands of years.
- Gran Caida: Barragan summons a large axe to fight his enemies in close range.
