Bleach: Every Dragon Ball Villain Zero Squad’s Ichibe Would Solo

Bleach pushed its power scaling to unimaginable heights with Ichibe Hyosube, to the point that even many Dragon Ball villains would crumble against him. Both his Zanpakuto and Bankai (Shin’uchi) are arguably two of the strongest hax abilities in anime history. While Ichimonji’s ability to manipulate names and reality already sounds terrifying for Dragon Ball characters, the Shin’uchi: Shirafude Ichimonji makes things even worse. It allows Ichibe to rewrite the physical properties of any target!

Thus, Ichibe’s conceptual hax allows him to bypass the raw planetary destruction powers of many Dragon Ball villains. So, in hypothetical scenarios, the Squad Zero leader, Ichibe Hyosube, would have no problem soloing the 8 Dragon Ball villains mentioned below.

1 King Piccolo Will Get Wrapped Up the Fastest Against Ichibe

Compared to some other entries in the list, Demon King Piccolo will actually be a much easier opponent for Ichibe. Since he is arguably weaker than many Dragon Ball villains, there’s no chance he would have any edge over Ichibe. Unlike his reincarnated son or someone like Cell, he doesn’t even possess body-restoring regeneration, while his strongest energy attack, Explosive Demon Wave, would seem more like fireworks once deflected by Ichibe’s complex Kido barrier, Bakudō #81: Dankū. Thus, King Piccolo wouldn’t even manage to lay a finger on Ichibe.

2 Raditz Would Not Stand a Chance in a Conventional Brawl

Raditz will be as good as dead the moment the battle starts. Ichibe just needs to avoid a direct hit from Raditz’s Double Sunday and use his opportunity to spread Ichimonji’s ink onto him. His Bakudō #81: Dankū barrier spells will make this job much easier. Then, just for extra content, Ichibe may use his Shirafude Ichimonji to assign Raditz a new name. It could be anything as insignificant as an ant. Thus, once again, one successful application of Ichimonji would seal the deal.

3 Lord Slug Will Only Achieve So Much With His Giant Form

As an evil Namekian, Lord Slug is inarguably a formidable villain in Dragon Ball. While he already possesses extreme regeneration abilities and superhuman strength, once he transforms into his giant form, Lord Slug becomes a completely different beast. But you know what? This would actually make him an easier target for Ichibe, as his enormous size would allow Ichibe to apply the Black Ink more comfortably and strip away Lord Slug’s identity. Even if he tries to regenerate his body, it wouldn’t automatically undo Ichibe’s manipulation of his name.

4 Zarbon’s Superhuman Strength Will Be of No Use Against Ichibe

Even as a certified Vegeta hater, Zarbon would not be able to hold his own against Ichibe, not even in his monstrous form. His signature energy blast, Erasure Gun, which he unleashes in his monstrous form may appear absolutely lethal, but we can imagine Ichibe not even being bothered by it. Ichibe’s Ura Hadō: Sannodō – Teppūsatsu hits Zarbon; it’s game over. It would also be much easier for Ichibe to apply Ichimonji to Zarbon, since Zarbon isn’t exactly known for his agility. Then, that savage look in Zarbon’s eyes will soon turn into desperate cries for mercy.

5 Nappa Will Have No Answer to Ichibe’s Hax Abilities

Nappa is again one of the easier targets for Ichibe. If he gets on the bad side of Ichibe, then he will be completely stripped of his power and identity. And honestly, there won’t be much for him to even resist with. Nappa’s strongest ki blast, Break Cannon, cannot even hardly penetrate Ichibe’s Zanpakutō Calligraphy – “Seal” barrier, so the fight will be over before it even starts. Maybe he could use his flight ability to avoid getting hit by Ichibe’s black ink, but that wouldn’t be a fair fight anyway. So, Nappa will be declared defeated.

6 Dodoria Can Only Fly Around to Avoid Immediate Defeat

Among the other entries on the list, Dodoria might be the easiest target for Ichibe. He does have formidable speed, but not enough to avoid getting tracked down by Ichibe. He is also more of a close-range combat specialist, which puts him at an even bigger disadvantage against Ichibe. His Dodoria Beam is strong, but Ichibe’s Bakudō #81: Dankū barrier spell would be more than enough to stop it. There is literally no possible outcome where Dodoria can even surprise Ichibe. The only thing he can do is fly around, just to delay his inevitable defeat in a hypothetical brawl between the two.

7 Dr. Gero Will Be One of the Weaker Matchups for Ichibe

Dr. Gero may not be one of the greatest villains in Dragon Ball, but he is definitely one of the most despicable ones. But everything that makes him so fierce in the series would eventually be of no use against Ichibe. Thus, this fight would once again get wrapped up pretty fast. Dr. Gero’s mechanical body would lose all its purpose once Ichibe strips away his identity. He’d be left acting like a mindless cyborg and nothing else. His energy absorption may be formidable in conventional energy fights, but Ichibe’s Bankai would bypass the usual Dragon Ball rules entirely.

8 Android 19 Will Lose All His Powers Against Ichibe’s Ichimonji

Android 19’s energy absorption power did turn him into one of Dragon Ball’s fiercest villains, but against Ichibe, it would be rendered meaningless because Ichibe won’t come at him with conventional energy attacks anyway. So, all that remains is for Ichibe to spread his Black Ink across the battlefield and coat Android 19 directly. Any power Android 19 has associated with his name would then be erased, so it would only take moments before he is defeated.

So, how satisfied are you with the above entries?
