how strong is kisuke urahara

Kisuke Urahara is one of the strongest characters in the Bleach series. He is the former captain of the 12th Division in the Soul Society and an unparalleled genius with a high battle IQ. Urahara is a master of Kido, capable of offensive, defensive, and healing spells at very high levels. His Zanpakuto, Benihime, is versatile and powerful in both close and long-range combat, able to attack, defend, and entrap opponents with energy techniques. His Bankai, called Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame, is particularly notable for its ability to restructure anything it touches. It can dissect enemies from a distance, heal wounds temporarily, modify the terrain to aid allies, and enhance or weaken opponents by altering their bodies. While it has a limited area of effect and its changes revert once the Bankai is deactivated, this Bankai is considered one of the most complex and overpowered in the Bleach universe. Urahara's intellect and combat skills have allowed him to fight top- tier foes like Sosuke Aizen and powerful Arrancars with ease, making him nearly at the peak among Bleach's strongest characters.
