Most Forgettable Villains In Bleach

Key Takeaways

• Forgettable Bleach villains like Lilynette Gingerbuck struggle to leave a lasting impact.
• Characters like Yukio Hans Voralberna demonstrate lackluster abilities in the series.
• Giriko Kutsuzawa’s unimpressive time control ability fails to make a memorable mark on the audience.

Tite Kubo’s Bleach is renowned as one of the most influential anime for many reasons, including its intriguing story, breathtaking battles, and unforgettable characters. From Aizen Sosuke, one of the most cunning characters ever, to Yhwach, who possesses power beyond the imagination of many, the series boasts some of the most iconic villains in anime history.

However, not all antagonists leave a lasting impression on Bleach fans, as some of them are only a way of pushing the story forward. In an anime spanning hundreds of episodes, it is inevitable that some villains get overshadowed and forgotten as the story progresses.

8 Lilynette Gingerbuck

Coyote Starrk’s Other Half

Despite always being around Coyote Starrk, Lilynette Gingerbuck is still one of the most forgettable villains in Bleach, and rightly so. She debuted in the Hueco Mundo Arc Part 1 and struggled to make an impact on the series.

She is incredibly weak and has a very childish attitude, so it is easy for her to be completely overshadowed by Starrk, her dominant other half. However, she proved to be quite the companion for Starrk and was later revealed to house his true release, as they merge when he activates his Resurreccio, Los Lobos.

7 Luppi Antenor

Grimmjow’s Uncanny Replacement

Luppi Antenor was the sixth Espada who replaced Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez in Aizen’s army. That ended up becoming his undoing as he had big shoes to fill, due to Grimmjow’s relevance. His Resurreccion was just as underwhelming as his character, and he was eventually killed by Grimmjow, which ironically is his only moment of relevancy.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri eventually resurrected him alongside some other dead Arrancar to serve in the Twelfth Division’s corpse unit, unveiled in their battle against Yhwach and his Quincies. Despite that, he is still a pretty forgettable character.

6 Yukio Hans Voralberna

One Of Many Forgettable Fullbring Antagonists

Yukio, like most of the villains from the Fullbring Arc, is quite forgettable, but some villains like Jackie Tristan were at least able to make viewers laugh. He was quite self-centered with a massive ego, which made his demise even more pathetic than his character, as he was so frantic and scared at the possibility of losing his own ability.

Despite that, he gets points for having a somewhat interesting ability—creating a pocket dimension from his handheld console—as that was greatly lacking in the Fullbring Arc.

5 Loly Aivirrne

Orihime’s Pathetic Bully

Loly is a textbook example of a pathetic person who makes life harder for others as a way to compensate for being deemed useless. She was always found with her partner in crime, Menoly Mallia, and together, they made Orihime’s life miserable during her time in captivity because Aizen always seemed to give her preferential treatment.

As expected, they are incredibly weak and are not even worthy of mention, so they took out their frustrations on the only person they could, as they would easily get destroyed by anyone else of slight relevance in the series.

4 Charlotte Chuhlhourne

Bleach’s Number One Drag Queen

Charlotte is another one of the Arrancars resurrected by Kurotsuchi Mayuri to serve in his corpse squad. Before all that, he was a member of Aizen’s army and was not particularly memorable for anything except for the fact that he’s a drag queen, so he might resonate with a section of the fanbase.

In the end, he went up against Yumichika Ayasegawa, the third seat in Kenpachi Zaraki’s squad, who is just as vain as him in caring about their appearances, and lost the battle of conviction quite convincingly.

3 Gantenbainne Mosqueda

The Honorable Arrancar

The 107th-ranked Arrancar in Aizen Sosuke’s army is as forgettable as his rank suggests, but his character is quite an honorable one. He was only really relevant in his fight scene against Chad Yasutora, but he made sure to make a good first impression, although most fans probably do not remember by now.

He made sure to fight fairly against Chad and restrained himself from going all out until Chad did. He even warned Chad when Nnoitra Gilga, the 5th-ranked Espada, was approaching.

2 Robert Accutrone

One Of Yhwach’s Auswahlen Victims

Robert was postured to become one of the most influential Quincies, as he went up against Kyoraku Shunsui during the Quincies’ invasion of Soul Society. Ultimately, he was stabbed in the back by Tite Kubo and did not amount to anything of note in the story, as he was one of the Quincies consumed as part of Yhwach’s Auswahlen.

Although he debuted quite recently in the show, the fact that fans did not get to see his ability or his letter revealed means that he is going to be forgotten sooner rather than later.

1 Giriko Kutsuzawa

The Worst Time User In Anime History

Giriko, just like Robert Accutrone, was set up by Tite Kubo. In his case, he was given quite an intriguing ability, which allowed him some sort of control over time, but not in the way most people would expect.

His ability only allows him to set timers on things, and in the long run, he couldn’t leave a lasting impression, much like the rest of the antagonists from the Fullbring Arc. In the end, he joined a long list of Kenpachi Zaraki victims, as he was cut in half in their battle without being able to put up much of a fight.
