Why do I have to fight with a strong guy like this? I always envied the weak. Whenever we made friends, their souls would waste away just from being near us. Because we were so alone, we split our soul in two. I don't know which was our original form. Or perhaps, it was neither.

But this was the only way we had to escape from our isolation. I so envied the weak. The weak can always find others to be around. I want to be weak. And if that's impossible, I at least want to find companions who are as strong as I...

~ Starrk bemoaning his power while fighting Shunsui

Summary

Coyote Starrk is the 1st Espada of Sosuke Aizen's army, a position he shares with the other half of his soul, Lilynette Gingerbuck. He exists in this form as, when he became an Arrancar, he used his immense power to split his soul in two, with neither retaining the form of their original body. As an Espada, the aspect of death he symbolizes is solitude.

Powers and Stats

Tier: High 6-A, higher with Gran Rey Cero, at least High 6-A with Resurreccion, higher with Cero Oscuras, far higher with Gran Rey Cero, even higher with Wolves

Name: Coyote Starrk

Origin: Bleach

Age: Unknown

Gender: Male

Classification: Arrancar, Primera Espada

Powers and Abilities: Soul Physiology and Hollow Physiology (Soul: High-Tier/Hollow: High-Tier Arrancar), Expert Swordsman and Marksman (As the Primera Espada[1], Starkk is extremely skilled within combat, especially with his pistols[2] and swords[3]. Being able to fight on par with other similarly skilled opponents of the Gotei 13 like Shunsui Kyoraku[3]. This level of skill is also compounded on by the fact Starrk has existed for centuries doing nothing but fighting and consuming other hollows[3], granting him a level of experience which is only contended with by the highest of Soul Reaper and Hollow combatants), Weapon Creation, Enhanced Energy Manipulation, and Limited Fusionism (Starrk's Resurrección - Los Lobos is activated after fusing with Lilynette[4], this fusion grants Starrk two pistols which have the capability of firing ceros[5]. Starrk can discard these weapons and instead create swords from his Reiryoku[3], doing so through the bandoleers on his back[3]), Enhanced Energy Projection and Danmaku (Cero Metralleta allows Starrk to shoot hundreds of ceros out of his guns[5], Starrk directly states he can shoot out a thousand ceros in a instant but was interrupted by Shunsui Kyoraku before he could do such a thing[6]), Enhanced Soul Manipulation, Transformation, Homing Attack, Explosion Manipulation, Limited Fire Manipulation and Duplication (Given his aspect of death being "Solitude"[7], Starrk can tear pieces of his own soul out and transform them into things[8]. Doing so to create Lilynette[3], while in a more combat applicable sense he can create spiritual wolves[8]. He can create a plethora of these wolves[8] and everytime these wolves are damage they'll regenerate and then split into even more wolves[8]. These wolves will home onto Starrk's opponents mercilessly until they latch onto them, after which[8], they proceed to explode and release a massive pillar of flaming Reishi[8]), Resistance to Extrasensory Perception (Using Sonído allows the user to bypass Extrasensory Perception[9]) and High Temperatures (Resisted the heat of Love's Shikai[10])

Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level (As an Espada, Starrk would be stronger than the Privaron Espada, such as Dordoni[11][12][13][14], since Nnoitra claims the current Espada are stronger than the previous[15], which is supported by the databooks which claim the Espada are above all other Arrancar[16], and the power of the Espada make the Fraccion's pale in comparison[17]; additionally, the Espada are ranked according to their power, making Starrk stronger than Baraggan[18][19], and as such, Starrk upscales from Baraggan. Burnt Shunsui[20] [Statistics Values 1]), higher with Gran Rey Cero (Gran Rey Cero is the most powerful enhanced version of the Cero[21], making it a greater amplification than Cero Oscuras which is 10x[22], it was calculated to be this strong but scales higher via powerscaling [Statistics Values 2]), at least Multi-Continent level with Resurreccion (Stronger than Resurreccion Baraggan. His resurección multiplies his power by 5x. [Statistics Values 3]), higher with Cero Oscuras (All Espada can use this technique in their release forms[23] 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), even higher with Wolves (Starrk can utilize his Wolves' power in the form of explosions or swords, Love and Rose had their Hollow Masks shattered by the explosions[24], he displayed power worthy of being the number 1 ranked Espada in order to draw out Shunsui's Bankai[25], which is likely referring to his full power, Cien claims it is among the most powerful abilities in Hueco Mundo, excluding Cien's full transformation and Aizen[26], meaning it would be stronger than Ulquiorra's Lanza del Relampago [Statistics Values 5])

Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Easily evaded Post-Final Grimmjow Fight Bankai Ichigo and Kenpachi before arriving back at Aizen's side, crossing a significant distance in a short timeframe) | Massively Hypersonic (Faster than before)

Lifting Strength: Class M (Far stronger than Abirama) | Class M (Stronger than before)

Striking Strength: Multi-Continent level (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he would be stronger than Baraggan), higher with Resurreccion (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he would be stronger than Resurreccion Baraggan)

Durability: Multi-Continent level (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he can withstand the force of his own strikes [Statistics Values 6]), higher with Resurreccion (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he can no-sell attacks from Love, and likely tanked an attack from Hollow Love[27], albeit he may have dodged the attack instead, it is unclear)

Stamina: Superhuman (Lesser characters can fight for days, and Starrk can continue fighting even through severe injuries. Even being stabbed in the back by Shunsui failed to slow him down, and he kept up the fight even after Shunsui hit his arm with an attack enhanced by Irooni, causing such pain that Starrk felt like the limb was severed despite the shallow wound)

Range: Extended Melee Range, Hundreds of Meters to Kilometers with his abilities

Standard Equipment: A sword, his "Zanpakutō", Los Lobos, and Caja Negación.

  • Caja Negación: A device provided to the Espada by Sosuke Aizen, the Caja Negación can be used to isolate a target, trapping them in in a separate dimension from which they cannot escape, but it cannot hold those of Espada-level strength for long.

Intelligence: As lazy as he may be, Starrk is an incredibly skillful and perceptive fighter once he decides to actually try, holding off both Shunsui and Ukitake at once before overwhelming Love and Rose without much issue. He's a very analytical fighter who carefully takes in his opponent's mannerisms, discerning not only their motivations, but their strengths and weaknesses. This keen eye stretches to the techniques of others as well, and he can quickly figure out how unfamiliar abilities work the moment they're used against him.

Weaknesses: Starrk is extremely lazy and often doesn't finish off his opponents. Summoning his wolf pack seals away his pistols.

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.

Bala: An Arrancar ability similar to Cero, except it's weaker and 20 times faster.

Descorrer: A technique used by Arrancar to travel between Hueco Mundo and other worlds, creating a spiritual pathway called a Garganta with a gesture, walking through this portal to arrive at their destination in an instant.

Hierro: A defensive technique used by Arrancar that toughens their skin by reinforcing it with condensed Reiryoku, allowing an Arrancar to confront an armed Shinigami with their bare hands. All Arrancar use this ability in some form to gain their supernatural toughness, but even an exceptionally powerful Hierro can be bypassed by focusing one's Reiryoku to a finer, sharper point.

Pesquisa: A perception technique used by Arrancar, which sends out a pulse that detects nearby sources of Reiatsu and gauging their power.

Sonído: A technique used by Arrancar that allows for high-speed movement, effectively analogous to the Shunpo used by Shinigami, and used in bursts to traverse distances quickly and fight at these high speeds.

Resurrección: The Arrancar equivalent of a Shikai/Bankai, this form allows an Arrancar to unleash their true power as a Hollow.

Los Lobos: Starrk's Resurrección. Unique for an Arrancar, Starrk's true power is not sealed within a Zanpakutō, but within the form of another Arrancar, Lilynette Gingerbuck, who is both a distinct being and a part of Starrk. By releasing his power with the command Kick About, Starrk transforms Lilynette into a pair of pistols, gaining part of her mask and new clothing lined with fur, ultimately resembling a gunslinger. In this form, Starrk can fire Cero from his pistols, with the right firing more powerful blasts, while the left is weaker but can shoot much faster, so fast that Starrk claimed he could fire 1,000 Cero at once. His physicals are greatly increased as well.

  • Cero Metralleta: Starrk lifts one of his pistols and fires a barrage of Cero from its barrel and around it, so much so that they seem to combine into one massive blast. He can continuously keep up this barrage and adjust his aim while firing and without stopping.
  • Colmillo: Starrk can materialize a pair of spiritual energy swords vaguely resembling the katana he wields prior to his Resurrección.
  • Wolves: Starrk can summon a massive pack of wolves, seemingly numbering in the hundreds, and each materialized from a part of Starrk and Lilynette's shared souls. These wolves obey Starrk's commands and will chase down their targets, biting onto them once they get close enough before exploding with brutal force.
