Espada[edit]

Vasto Lorde are those who have become the top of the food chain. These are the top of the Vasto Lorde. The Espada roughly translates to "The Ten Blades" of which each Espada carries. Each of their blades could easily kill an entire kingdom with on swing and barely any force applied. The Espada are all about power and who is the strongest, while some do not care for power or murder. The Espada are highly feared in the eyes of the Soul Society and by Soul Reapers. While most Espada and Soul Reapers will kill each other on sight, some are more peaceful and actually talk and get along.

Becoming an Espada[edit]

Vasto Lorde become Espada to gain more power and to rule over all. You become an Espada once you kill the lowest rank, No. 9. Once you killed that Espada, you gain the ability to level up in this class. You can kill any rank at any time and you can kill all of the Espada at once, but that does not mean you will automatically gain levels in this class. Espada's are all about power, so if they feel threatened by someone of lower rank trying to take their rank, they will go and kill that Espada or creature. Espada's now that with higher ranks comes more power, so whenever the Espada feels like the right moment to strike, they will kill a higher ranking member just for their rank and power. All Espada know where the others are at all times.
