We all love reading about and talking about cool powers in the Soul Society, don't we? Students looking forward to graduation and submitting their powers to the Powers Club, and Soul Reapers using their awesome powers in topics and their backstory. I know I had a lot of fun in my first graduate battle and received the epic moment to release my shikai for the first time. It was awesome!

Well, today we will be continuing the beloved battle series where we take the powers of one of our site people and put them up against the powers of a fighter in WoR history, the Bleach canon! Today, we will be having a very special battle of Fullbringer versus Arrancar. Today, our Captain of the 11th Division, Hikaru Miho, will be facing off against one of the most powerful Arrancar known, 1st Espada Coyote Starrk!
 

Coyote Starrk - Los Lobos

Coming out of the gate, we will have a little analysis of Starrk's resurección, Los Lobos. Why Starrk, you may ask? Well, his powers give off the same energy and we felt that this one was the best to do comparisons! Los Lobos is mostly a bolstering resurección, which gives Starrk some severe upgrades in strength and cero. Activating this allows him to fire cero from his guns in quick succession without even charging it, super deadly indeed! With this upgrade comes one of his abilities: Cero Metralleta.

Another ability he wields is Colmillo which allows him to summon swords made of energy that he can use for combat. His final ability is Wolf Pack Generation where he summons a whole pack of wolves (very fitting for a man named Coyote) which will hunt down and fight his opponents. However, these aren't any ordinary wolves, as they will explode upon biting the opponent. Explosive indeed!

Hikaru Miho - Hell

And now we go to our beloved Captain! In the battle against Fullbring, Starrk will be pit against Hikaru's power, very simply named... Hell. Scary indeed! Once Hikaru's Fullbring is unleashed, Hikaru has the unique ability to raise an enemy under his command once they have been defeated in shadow form. However, these shadow soldiers are tethered to him by black shackles at various points on his body, so if he is struck and the shackle is accidentally hit, the soldier takes damage as well.

A great counter to the wolves to be sure, however, Hikaru does have one main ability up his sleeve with this power called Mahiru-no-Yoru. This ability summons one powerful black knight that wields dual swords. Of course, this knight is also shackled to its master, but its power and agility combined with Hikaru's make it very difficult to damage!
 

Final Battle - Hell vs Los Lobos

Now the final battle begins! Coyote Starrk versus Hikaru Miho! Who would win? Well, Going on powers alone, Starrk may slightly have the advantage on numbers alone. Hikaru's shadows depend on him having enemies nearby to defeat, whereas Starrk can endlessly create wolves. HOWEVER, if we assume Hikaru could also raise the wolves he defeats as his own, the tides turn in his favour since he only risks them being defeated if he gets hit and, as we can see, he is able to keep moving and fighting while commanding them.

Then there's Hikaru's knight. If we think Hikaru and the Knight battle at the same time, the wolves would be even less of a challenge. Basically, the fight depends on whether or not Hikaru could turn Starrk's own wolves against him. But then Starrk is capable of firing insane amounts of cero at a target and could likely delete all of Hikaru's chains with one attack. Overall, this seems like a far more balanced fight with an indeterminate victor. Leave us your theories in the comments as to who might win, but right now, we think it's looking like a draw!
