Spoon boy was also shown to have changed some what from the pre hougyoku flash backs.

Jeez. Those two-three pages that point that out happened so long ago...I'm not surprised to see I forgot about it. So point taken. I stand completely corrected.

A lot of the translations I've come across either directly state or heavily imply non-arrancar VL's to be even stronger than the average captain. This seems to be the source for all the disappointment. If normal VL's were supposed to be superior to "average" captains, then the arrancar VL's should've performed much better than they did. But a lot of them ended up being defeated in 1-on-1 battles against captain lvl opponents. The top 3 were really the only ones to sort of live up to the expectations in that regard.
