It is undeniable that the strength of outer Clan disciples far surpasses that of ordinary black-clad disciples. Even this triangular-eyed disciple, who now dared to launch a ferocious attack on Aizen, displayed a combat power that went far beyond what an average warrior like Gormak could exhibit.
To understand just how formidable this triangular-eyed attacker was, it's worth remembering that Gormak was ranked among the top fifty out of one hundred thousand black-clad disciples. Had Gormak not met his end at Aizen's hands, it would have been only a matter of time—no more than two months, in fact—before he would have been promoted to the outer Clan. That was practically a certainty, especially given that the upcoming mountain gate competition was his ticket to that promotion. This signified that Gormak already possessed the level of strength needed to be a newly advanced outer Clan disciple.
