^ Mugetsu and the DBZ-fication of Aizen in that arc was the worst thing that happened in Bleach , IMO. Plus, it was a one time thing. And Aizen needed Hogyoku to become that powerful. Also, Ichigo has hollow powers which were required, for him to get that powerful.
And let's not forget that he's the lead character of the series. So, it's a given that he will be have the most powerful weapon/ability.

Hey hey, looks like we got a South after all Though he didn't really need to use it just yet. His first two abilities were kicking ass already.
Of course the old man is OP. But we've known that forever. It would honestly be disappointing if his bankai was any less than what it is. Although, I am curious what those zombies will actually do. |

that was a pretty cool chapter even though i read it in about 30 seconds... i couldn't believe that was all there was to it at first, but I did like it so I'm not complaining. i just want to see more

Yamamoto's bankai (on the other hand) has definitely got its fair share of tricks to compliment his extraordinary power. I think Kubo might've seriously drawn some inspiration from the author who wrote that novel. Because just like the 8th Kenpachi, this bankai is definitely in a league of its own. Others we've seen don't even come close. Its kind of like Kubo was thinking way outside the box for this one. And I've got to say, I'm impressed. Raising the dead!? Jeez, that's far more than a mere extension of his shikai. That's just nuts. Here's to hoping the top 3 senior captains bankai's all follow suit to similar degree.

Is it just me or starting with Shunsui Shinigami sword techniques became ridiculous?
Don't get me wrong, they are awesome but that's the problem. All swords until now were still weapons that only affected the sword. But Shunsui's and Yama's affect their whole body and create god knows what... Well Aizen's was ridiculous too but this... turning into shadows, becoming a flame and summoning dead? All those powers look far more something that arrancars would do, not shinigami. After all when arrancars appeared for the first time they all were surprised by sword powers but now shinigami have almost same power if not even better! Kubo has seriously messed up things... His fully building manga on the coolness factor and nothing more, no logic. =/ Well he lost logic long time ago and it doesn't look like he plans to make one now.

Well counting Shunsui and Yamamoto, that just makes two. It's hardly as if all the shinigami now are suddenly starting to reveal abilities like this. Besides, those two are supposed to be among the most elite shinigami in Soul Society--even amongst the captains. So is it really so bad for them to have some abilities that might put them a step above the rest?

^^I'm glad you brought that up. I can't believe I forgot about it. Clearly Jaha Bach referred to a higher power/being in this chapter. Could he unknowingly be referring to "that thing" (the spirit king)? Or in this universe composed of spiritual entities like hollows and shinigami, does he still believe in the existence of an almighty "God" in the traditional sense? And if so, could his belief in such a being be at all related to the conflict from 1000 years ago? I'm probably thinking too much into it, but it would be interesting if the Bleach universe did have one true God that was above even the spirit king.

And so what if they are elite, I can't imagine Byakuya turning into petals in 1000 years time or Soi Fon becoming a butterfly or Hitsugaya turning snow into 100s of snow golems... It is simply weird, especially since none of these type of powers were ever implied in the series.
