Explore the complete Type Soul Bankai tier list with rankings, abilities, and tips to choose the best Bankai for your playstyle.

Bankai in Type Soul represent the peak of the Shinigami clan’s power, each offering unique abilities that can completely change the flow of battle. They work as special transformations unlocked after progressing through your Shikai, granting devastating skills, passive boosts, and flashy animations that can overwhelm opponents. Some Bankais shine in one-on-one duels, while others thrive in team fights or PvE farming.
The current meta heavily favors Bankais that offer strong crowd control, fast mobility, and high burst damage. However, playstyle and strategy matter. What dominates in competitive PvP might feel less efficient in boss raids or grinding.
