What I hated the most was Shawlong Qufang's ranking explanation of 1-10 being espada and the rest marked in order of birth, and Yami. If he was a super-secret 'zero-type- villain that only appears when everyone else is beaten, I'd be cool with it, and he'd have the excuse of having to gather strength first, but going from 10 to 0, claiming to be supah-strong and dying offscreen is an insult to the readers.

Me pointing out the fact that Stark face two captains twice at the same time is fan-wanking about his strength (because they didn't go bankai, even though those same captains didn't even go bankai fighting someone powerful as Aizen), yet you give Histugaya victory over Halibel, when she wasn't even damaged by his strongest attack. And say Shunsui basically beat Stark with nothing but shikai. Yes. That and a opening given by Stark being distracted in a fight against two opponents. The good guys healed each other, rescued each other, fought together. The Espada (aside from WW), barely lifted a finger to help each other. That is, when they weren't being betrayed by their own. Really, they would've each had to have been insanely overpowered just to overcome their lousy comradery. We'll agree to disagree then. Just don't get me wrong. I was really disappointed by the Espada. I thought the VL would push SS to breaking point and create some devastating losses and it didn't happen. I just don't try to turn it into a retcon--there's no contradiction. Misleading. Yeah. Overhype. Yep. Retcon. No.

You also have to realize they weren't Hollow Vasto Lordes, they're Arrancar. Arrancar are supposed to be even stronger than their non-Arrancar counterparts. A VL Arrancar should really have no problem dealing with the average Captain (i.e. not Yamamoto). But of course, taking a VL which was said to be as strong as a Captain and giving it a big power boost only makes it... weaker than a Captain?
Kubo logic.

It was already mentioned that no more than 10 existed, but that's kinda like a bad guy saying "You can't win" and then the good guy saying "yes I can". Sometimes you make something that sounds like exposition for the sole purpose of breaking it seconds later. The fact that Aizen hadn't finished gathering his army doesn't suggest anything except that he doesn't have the full number. That doesn't mean he has less than 22. Quote:

You also make the point that those same captains didn't release their bankai on Aizen. And? Are you seriously suggesting that them releasing their bankai's would not make them stronger? Frankly that's an even bigger retcon since we were speciifcally told that bankai's are generally more powerful that shikai, but even then that's no proof that their bankai doesn't make them stronger (it's just proof that they're fucking retarded). However if you believe that those cpatains releasing their bankai doesn't make them stronger then I'm going to hold you to that. If they ever release their bankai later on and it shows that they're stronger then I'm going to bring this up again. That fine with you? Are you really willing to make that bet? Quote:
