Espada are the 10 strongest Arrancar in Kubo Tite's anime and manga series, Bleach The Espada(十刃（エスパーダ,Esupāda,Japanese for "ten blades," Spanish for "sword") are the ten strongest arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army.They are ranked in order of their strength and have their respective number tattooed somewhere on their body as proof of their superiority.The Espada are also allowed to choose any ordinary arrancar and have them appointed as their direct subordinates,referred to as fracción(従属官(フラシオン),furashion,Japanese for "subordinate official," Spanish for "fraction").The members are listed according to their known rank.The first three hold the top three ranks although their specific ranks haven't been revealed, and as such are listed in order of introduction.

Current Espada
By order of rank:
2. Stark Stark(スターク,Sutāku)appears to be very lazy as he is seen sleeping when the Espada learn of Aaroniero Arruruerie's death,and does not appear overly concerned by the news. Lilinette (リリネット, Ririnetto?),his young female fracción,typically shows the concern that Stark does not. When he is shown to be serious, however,his personality changes completely;he comes off as reluctant but nonetheless willing to do what needs to be done to complete the task at hand.He also appears to be a pacifist,going as far as to suggest that he and Shunsui Kyōraku pretend to fight until everyone else is finished (an offer which the peace-loving Kyōraku almost accepted).The remains of Stark's hollow mask consist of a bottom jaw that is positioned like a necklace and his hollow hole is on his sternum,right below the tip of his mask.While his combat abilities have not been shown, he is at the least very fast,as he easily manages to kidnap Orihime Inoue while Kenpachi Zaraki and Ichigo Kurosaki are only a few feet away.His laziness also manifests itself in his fighting style,as he refuses to fight Shunshui Kyōraku at full strength when asked to,just the same he shows himself to be a very capable fighter,observing that Kyōraku is ambidextrous and is trying to correct the angle of his swing to hide that fact. 3. Halibel
10. Yammy Yammy (ヤミー, Yamī)is the tenth Espada,signified by the "10" tattooed to his left shoulder. What remains of his hollow mask is the jawbone,which rests on his chin.He is the largest,but not the brightest,of the Espada,as he relies upon Ulquiorra Schiffer to explain things and give him orders while in battle. Yammy relies primarily on his brute strength and cero blasts in battle,taking little interest in using his sword until he is overpowered. Aside from his fighting abilities,Yammy can suck the souls from living humans en masse using gonzui (魂吸（ゴンズイ）,gonzui Japanese for "soul suction").It affects a wide area,but any individual with even slight spiritual power is able to resist it to some degree.The name and released state of Yammy's zanpakutō have not been revealed.
