I think it appears to be both a release command and a deactivation command. Because he doesn't have to have the say the command to release his zanpakuto. He proved that the moment he caught Barry with hypnosis. At the same time, he's rarely ever seen dispelling his illusions without saying the command.
I'm pretty sure Hitsugaya (who was going by here-say alone) simply stated that their "
combat capabilities are above that of our captains" -- which is kind of vague. It's not quite the same as implying that they're "CONSIDERABLY more powerful" or just plain in a league of their own. And that was the first and last time the vasto lorde's combat capabilities were brought up IIRC.
So if I had to go by Barry's performance, I'd say he lived up to the title. Afterall, in a 3-on-1 battle between a VC, Captain, and a VC-level Vizard, he didn't lose because he was overpowered. He lost because he was outsmarted and way too arrogant for his own good.
