There aremany female characters inBleachwho are memorable in their own right, with the female villains being especially notable in this regard. Some of these villains caused their fair share of problems across the series, with the best and most powerful female villains in the series being mentioned below.
10Franceska Mila Rose
The Arrancar arcfeatured some great antagonists that fans of the series would remember for quite some time. One of the members of this diabolical faction was Franceska Mila Rose. The Arrancar had leaders called Espada, all of whom had Fraccion of their own. Franceska was a part of one such Fraccion and served under Tier Harribel.
9Liltotto Lamperd
The Thousand-Year Blood War featured an empire consisting of Quincy, called the Wandereich. This empire had some of its most powerful soldiers be a part of the Sternritter, with Liltotto Lamperd being one of the members of the force.
She had the designation “G - The Glutton”, but didn’t remain in Yhwach’s good graces for too long. The Soul King betrayed them, with Liltotto being easily taken care of by this imposing foe.

8Lilynette Gingerbuck
Coyote Starrk is one of the best antagonists who appear along with the Arrancar. He’s a pretty cool foe, with Lilynette Gingerbuck serving as the only Fraccion who would follow his orders.

The fact thatboth characters are part of the same Hollow entitymakes for a pretty interesting dynamic indeed. Theirs is a combined Resurreccion, which is the first and only instance of such a phenomenon in the series.
7Meninas McAllon
Meninas is another member of the Sternritter, although she might not be the most powerful member of the group. After all, she was manipulated by another member of this elite force to turn against her comrade!
That being said, she’s definitely one of the more powerful Sternritter around in terms of brute force. Her Quincy: Vollstandig also lets her fly at fast speeds, making her even more of a dangerous opponent.

6Bambietta Basterbine
The Sternritter is full to the brim with female warriors, with Bambietta being another addition to this impressive roster. She was a powerful Quincy who engaged in an earth-shattering battle with Komamaru before biting the dust at the end of this confrontation.
However, it seems that some sort of humiliation was in order for Bambietta that lasted well after her demise. Giselle, another Quincy, decided to use her body as a tool to unleash attacks, which greatly disturbed her soul.

5Tier Harribel
The third Espada in Aizen’s ranks, it’s easy to see just how powerful Tier Harribel really is. However, it seems that even this level of strength didn’t satisfy Aizen.
Thankfully, Harribel managed to survive this blow and became the ruler of Hueco Mundo after Aizen’s passing. Unfortunately, the arrival of Yhwach meant that Harribel was pulled down from this position swiftly enough as well.

4Emilou Apacci
Tier Harribel had three Fraccion around her that were fiercely loyal and would do everything in their power to defend their leader. One of the members of this distinguished trio was Emilou Apacci.
She has a pretty unique Resurreccion, covering her body in fur as she grows deer-like antlers. That being said,she couldn’t stand up to the might of Captain-Commander Yamamotoand fell to his flames pretty quickly.

3Cyan Sung-Sun
The final member of the Fraccion on this list who served under Tier Harriber is Cyan Sung-Sun. Her Resurreccion turns her into a snake-like creature, which is pretty fitting for an Arrancarwhose Zanpakuto is named Anaconda.

She can sacrifice her left arm along with the other members of the Fraccion to summon a unique creature by using the technique Quimera Parca. It’s a powerful creature, but the fact that it can’t understand the orders of its summoner is definitely a huge liability.
2Candice Catnipp
Candice is one of the members of the Sternritter, with the designation T for Thunderbolt. Suffice it to say, most of her powers have a huge lightning focus that serves to make her arsenal look more unique than the usual Quincy.
However, her power pales in comparison to the Shinigami she’s trying to defeat. A Getsuga Jujisho leads to her losing her arm, withByakuya Kuchiki taking care of her during their confrontation.

1Jackie Tristan
TheLost Substitute Shinigami arcintroduced the Fullbring, a bunch of humans who had the ability to utilize supernatural powers. One such organization of Fullbringers called Xcution had several powerful members, including Jackie Tristan.
To be fair, it’s Tsukishima’s Fullbring that causes her to be roped into a plan that would lead to Ichigo being deceived and his newly acquired powers stolen. However, Jackie is still against the heroes for the most part and receives a sound beating at the hands of Renji.
