it's kinda funny how people are still calling gin's bankai weak. ichigo said (err, thought) it himself when they were fighting up close. all gin has to do is angle his sword just enough towards ichigo and the fight is over, ichigo dies again.
the downside of such a match up is that we know ichigo is the main character so he won't die. at least not permanently. so basically, the only way gin will be allowed to get that one hit KO angle is if it is followed up by another round of berserk hollow ichigo with regeneration. which would probably be the most entertaining route anyway.

While it isn't my intention to imply without a doubt that Isshin > Yamamoto, I do believe Isshin fans are finally getting the evidence they need to debate it as a strong possibility. I mean given the same conditions as Isshin (no shikai, bankai, and no hypnosis influence), who's confident that the old man would be able to fair this well against Aizen? I think it's hard to come to a definitive conclusion when Isshin and Yamamoto's limits have yet to be established. Last edited by sayde; 2010-04-15 at 20:15. |

He showed Ichigo both the giant extension (through the giant swing last chapter) and the super fast contraction before trying to stab him. By that time, Ichigo had already caught on and could see the attack coming. (well not really, but he could see that when Gin is trying point his sword at him, he needs to get out the way) Had he started by the stab, he would have won already. |

the extension/retraction speed I wanted came true
Now the way is open for some real genius i.e. Gin sniping people from very far maybe not 13 km but far enough to not be seen (Kubo needs to give Gin some epic reiatsu pinpointing ability for that to work) |

it was made pretty clear that telling his opponents about the max length was strategy he uses to distract them from the speed. he didn't tell ichigo about the speed until after ichigo already figured it out. thats a heck of a lot better than almost every other bleach character. i think ukitake vs stark is the only other time where a shinigami's opponent had to figure out an ability before an explanation.

but then thats physics and this is a manga so meh

Gin is a sniper through and through. His ability isn't designed for close range combat so it's stupid of him to fight like that. The battle certainly is interesting though. I'm also very impressed by Isshin's power level by I expect Aizen level hacks to start popping up.

Still think its pretty odd tho, how Aizen is getting easily spanked. Btw, Ichigo's Bankai can't be considerd the fastest bankai(yet) even though there are no others who equal in that speed beside Gin's(which is probably faster). My point is.. it's just not impressive enough(because he hasn't masterd it yet offcourse). It wasn't fast enough when he tried to impress Aizen or when he fought Grimmjow, Ulquiorra etc.. |

I Thought that Gin's Bankai Sucked But When I saw the last chapter it kind of became a very dangerous Bankai. Think about it, he has a wide range and can lenghten to 13 km, it's 500 times faster than the speed of sound making it an instant death if he only aimed at you. It's perfect for long range battles because of it's length and even in a close range battle all he would need to do is just aim at his opponent before he gets impaled by it's destructive force and speed !
Come to think of it...Gin's bankai is really hard to explain without thinking about a sex joke in the back of your mind

hell, the very act of performing a simple flashstep would probably crush your internal organs due to the sudden acceleration and deceleration involved.

For all we know their reiatsu could be dampening or preventing the sonic boom from taking place and therefore they could be moving speed of sound + already. So number crunching is nice, but unless it actually has results in the manga as effective feats...its useless. I mean heck getting pummeled through several buildings should damage you severely - but they act like nothing more than light jabs in actual fight... |
