Answer no
Koma isn't wasting anything against Po... in fact holding back would have actually been more of a waste... ending the fight as quickly as possible means that Koma takes minimal damage from the fight, but by holding back he could suffer some unnecessary damage... Much like how Byakuya took quite a bit of damage against zombari when he COULD have finished things quickly... or how about all the damage Renji, Hitsugaya and Mastumoto took thanks to the limiters they had on which held back their true strength; without the limiters they could have won the fight and been ready for another round or 2, instead of needing to go and rest... or how about the now half-dead ikakku...

Ofcourse, if you DON'T use you're "A-game" right away you could potentially get killed or atleast pwn'd before you have a chance to actually use it (D-roy, Koma against Aizen, Or Ikkaku against Po)... Ya, Syzeal was the only one who could study enemy abilities and have power over them, he is what we might call an exception to the rule; generally speaking, the advantage anyone would get from knowing an enemies power is usually very minimal, except in the case of uber hax abilities (Kira, Yumi, but NOT Koma)

etc, etc. You get the point Captain Vs Fraccion should be a mismatch without Bankai's getting involved. There were no limiters to use as an excuse. Dont forget Komamura got sent flying by a guy who works for a guy who works for Aizen. All things taking into account Komamura is arguably the weakest SS taicho!
It's funny how you mentioned Hitsugaya while you call Koma the weakest for using his Bankai against a minion... if i recall, Hitsugaya did the same damn thing to Shawlong; Hell Hitsugaya uses his Bankai so often that i had to look up on wikipedia just to remember what his Shikai was.

Amen to that...

Honestly, this thread had the unfortunate effect of reminding me of Byakuya vs Zombari; by far the most retarded fight in bleach to date. The main reason? both Byakuya and Zombari could have finished that fight in an instant... Zombari could have taken over Byakuya's mind and made him stab himself, and Byakuya could have just Bankai'd the guy into oblivion after he was so retarded not to try and finish off Byakuya asap. What happened instead? the two of them dicked around for like 2-3 chapters taking unnecessary damage, using unnecessary attacks and tactics and essentially spending the whole time arguing over which of them was the more arrogant.

After that trial in arrogance and stupidity, along with Ikakku's exercise in the same, seeing a shimigami not hold back and wipe out an opponent as fast as possible is a much s welcomed turn of events...

It's like Koma just walked right in with Po talking big and Koma just smashes him in an instant looking back at everybody and saying "can we now PLEASE move on to the REAL fights"
