There's those top letter Quincies that were introduced in that one chapter, but I can't even remember any of their names or most of their faces. Was Bam-bam one of them? Hell if I know.

The best I expect from anyone at this point is that they go down swinging and not wind up bloody and blown to bits and dead. At least Koma got an ending to his story and is at least still intact and not near death like everyone else we've seen so far who's fought.

Mohawk: took out Whitey and probably killed Kira Cang: Took out Matsu and possibly killed her Colonel: took out Kyoraku's eye Bambi: took out Shinji and possibly killed him Cyborg: took out Soi Hachi: Second in command and will probably kill Nanao. Aizen Clone: He's going to take out Mayuri and Urahara probably. Opie: almost killed Urahara, nakama, Arrancar and co....would have too if it weren't for Grimmjow/WHomever killing him first Point? They ain't fodder. Bambi is the second VR we've seen lose. And while I don't expect her group to succeed, I got no doubt that they'll damage SOMEONE before being taken out.

Fake Juha says "hi"
Let's look at the Nazis that were killed though. Unfortunately I don't want to look up all their names so I'll go by their letters or physical description. Side effect of having a ton of villians introduced all at once. I at least LEARNED the espadas' names before they got offed. Plus people for the most part liked the Espadas Jailer guy: Trapped Ichigo, had Urahara on the ropes, killed by a surprise attack by (probably) Grimmjow -Not fodder which is surprising given he was one of the first Sternritters introduced (we all know the first few encountered of a group of newly introduced major villains is usually the weakest in Shounen) Gun guy: Didn't even seem injured. Took out Shunsui's eye -Not fodder Bambietta: Took major hax to beat. Hax no longer viable now -Not fodder Nodt: I remember his name because I think he is a badass. Controls fear. Would probably be a tough opponent even without Byakuya's bankai -Not fodder Bazz-B: Flames that rival Yama-ji's. Wiped the floor with Hitsugaya -Not fodder Three guys Kenpachi killed: Ya fodder. Killed offscreen Overkill guy: Took out Sasakibe. Killed by Yamamoto which you can't really fault the guy with. Everyone dies to Yama-ji unless you somehow seal his power in a BS manner -Unknown strength Fake Juha: Beat the crap out of Kenpachi. Another guy killed by Yama-ji in his bankai form. Understandable in his loss. -Not fodder Haschwalth: Broke Ichigo's sword. Unknown true strength but the guy is probably not fodder even for those who think the other sternritter are trash Robot: Took a missile to the face. Still lived -Not fodder Iron: Beaten by Hitsugaya's bankai which is like the first guy who lost to Hitsugaya since Luppi. Still alive after activating his holy form. -Probably weaker than the rest So ya, these are an incredibly strong group of villains. The fact that we really don't care for them due to Kubo introducing as many villains as there are English letters kind of reduces the effect of when they are actually beaten.

Well to be fair, most of the victories are against Shinigamis that aren't known for being successful. Hitsugaya, Sasakibe, and Matsumoto haven't had a good track record. Shinji is up in the air, since he hasn't had very many fights. The biggest success in that list is Shunsui's eye and everybody knows that losing your eye just makes you more of a badass. While you could make an argument that they aren't fodder, they haven't been proven to be incredibly strong either.

It's a Japanese author incorporating the English alphabet into the characters' primary skill. The techniques don't scream "fodder" because they've obviously already beat the crap out of a lot of shinigami.

Shunsui is one of the few shinigami though that might succeed..since I really can't see Kubo killing off ANOTHER commander, even if it's Hachi........though Nanao might become this part of the arc's Chojiro. RIP Matsumoto. you too Hitsu...for now anyway. I know they're probably going to be revived but Kubo can really kill them off now. We've seen what they can do, though I love how Kubo said that this was supposedly tied to Matsumoto's past and the Hogkyou and yet not a damn thing was said about it. I totally forgot about Fake Juha. Was that the twins? I remember that one of the people Kenny took out was a girl called the talk or something stupid... And I actually forgot about As Nodt as well....of course, the one person who actually killed Byakuya....sorry but he did. We all know that Kubo revived Byakuya due to fan complaints.

Considering how he was able to mimick Juha's power and ability, which is about as asinine as Ichigo's power ups, he is not included.

The only legit threats seem to be the old guy that took out Shinsui's eye and Juha's #1 that broke Ichigo's sword. Robot guy took a rocket to the face and lived, as did Baraggan. I'm sure we're supposed to be taking ALL of these guys seriously, but like the Espada, they'll be treated like fodder because most of the captains have shown to be rather shitty in the overall course of the show.

Even the shinigami though managed to damage the Espada though before Aizen made mincemeat out of everyone.
Koma and Kenny are legititmately the only ones who've actually have had success against VRs. I'm sure some other VRs will make it thru, but until Ichigo shows up...probably not.
