Just, I don’t know. These dudes are captains and a fucking breakfast cereal marshmallow is now permanently drilled in one guy’s chest while the other puts on brass knuckles and flails like someone just penetrated his asshole. This all pails in comparison to the one dude being all, “Yeah man I work with sound wait you stopped your hearing omg how did you know my one weakness only Hellen Keller was able to figure it out before–” and gets bodied. If his Mozart-wannabe bankai wasn’t such shit doing the Can-Can and all that nonsense maybe it would’ve gone the other way but here we are.
I know I wasn’t the only one who the MOMENT Rose started ‘blabbering’ about his bankai - knew he was dead. The shit is like taking of an akatsuki cloak in Naruto.
Props to Kubo if he starts the next chapter off with Raiden yelling “WHAT?!? I couldn’t hear you”
I know Kubo wants to tell the reader what the bankai is and what it does, but that can be done with internal monologue while the opponent either figures it out and counters or gets bodied because he couldn’t. You know, like it would happen in real life.
No one, not even Hitler himself, would stand there and explain to you why what he is doing is working because it’s the stupidest thing anyone can do.
Probably when Shinji returns to fight someone, there will be an explanation for this. Kensei would use his hollow powers immediately if that gave him an advantage in battle so there must be something else going on. Probably the Vizards who returned to their old captain posts have been forbidden to use the hollow powers, that’s the only reason I can think of. It still doesn’t makes sense in the context of war but hey…
Man, why do they always make the vaizard lose so quickly. When they fought against Aizen, they used up their mask power to fight fucking menos grandes (I facepalmed), and then they got royally beaten.
Wouldn’t Rose’s and Tousen’s Bankais just end up screwing each other over? While Tousen’s cancels out all senses but touch, he’s actually immune to it since he’s holding his sword. So he could still hear Rose’s music. On the flip side Rose couldn’t hear his own music. Hmmm I guess Tousen would have the advantage them since Rose probably couldn’t conduct.
Man, if only Rose power was like the silver saint on Saint Seiya that even if you destroyed your ears it would keep hitting directly your brain, it would have made sense to tell them how it works, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo.
Pretty much ‘hollowfying’ doesn’t work with bankai. the only person I can think of to use bankai with a mask - was Ichigo - and we found out that wasn’t his actually bankai anyway.
Hitsu I guess ‘sort of’ did when he was ‘getting it back’ - but I can’t recall anything more than a shikai release from a vizard.
:bluu:
EDIT - as for my logic, I’m just looking at how having ‘an opposite’ in a Quincy prevented them from releasing their true power - but didn’t prevent them from using their power in general.
when your enemy makes himself deaf after you tell him hey man my powers are sound related.
Why not give the wrong info to your powers?
Star: what water and fire no way this isnt real
Me: How is it not real? it feels real right my bankai dancers control the elements now you will face the wind mc hammer dance!!!
Just that simple now Star wrestler has no fucking clue how to defend he’s thinking about elements while me and the dancers are getting our two step on.
Then as life is slipping away I say something slick like you cant believe everything you hear…
I am starting to wonder if this is related to some stupid samurai code that we are no aware of :looney:…
… nah, Kubo is just rushing to get the story at some point so he is making all the characters carry the idiot ball to speed up the story
I hate that the vaizards all end up being raw plot movers and nothing more. A lot of them are pretty interesting characters and they all go super jobber status the moment shit gets real. I should probably be used to it by now.
At this point im convinced there is one true non-jobber in the whole series and it’s Urahara Kisuke. He is still, to me, the character with the most questions I want to see answered before Kubo brings this whole thing to a close. Shunsui and Ukitake probably being a close second. At least they aren’t vaizards, so in theory we’ll get more than 2 pages of them using Bankai and then super jobbing.
Then again this is why 3 years ago my best friend and I put a bet of a 50 dollar bar tab on whether or not Urahara ends up being the true final boss of bleach. I put my booze money on no.
They’ll use their vizard powers to regenerate and mount a counterattack should Renji get his ass kicked (Vollstandig), or team up with Renji take the wrestler guy out before said Abarai loses completely.
or…
Kubo conveniently left their power out to make them Quincy fodder.
I like how Rose took out that midget nigga, that’s real Capt ish right there. Who would’ve thought Superstar was so SavageLife he would pop his own ear drums tho. That’s pretty hard
