And rather unique while making him more terrifying then usual.

Probably what he was actually saying is that the important part is not the length, but the speed. Like it's still longer than anything but WHATEVER it is FASTER than everything that that's how he's gonna kill you.

Well the only high level shinigami whose shikai's we haven't seen are Yoruichi, Nemu and Yachiru. Heh considering how easy she carried around Kenpachi the idea of Yachiru throwing around a zanpukto of absurd size seems kinda reasonable.

Well, if you consider the whole "Yachiru is Zaraki's Zanpakuto" or "Zaraki is Yachiru's Zanpakuto" stuff, you could take the concept of "Absurd Size" to a different level.

Also, about Gin's Bankai... a 13 Km ranged stab that goes 56.2500 feet per second, or 617,220 km/h or Actually Hypersonic speed... dude could literally stab a sonic jet in Mid Flight on top speed... that's not a "low key" power at all.

Did I give an impression of not being impressed? cuz what I meant to imply was how pants-shittingly terrifying it is.

Hey remember how when Ichigo first used bankai it was all about how he was fast enough to deflect all of Captain Snooty's bankai petals and make Mr. Fancy-Pants Flash Step guy think "damn that kid is fast" and then in his very next fight that all went away and it was just a generic power up that changed the color of his generic energy blast move?

Looks like it's time to bring back the "tensa zangetsu is super fast" point just long enough for it to be relevant to this fight before we all forget again and Ichigo's bankai goes back to being just as boring and generic as everything else about him.

ALSO: That Ichigo is responding to Gin's power by thinking and not by getting stabbed and then flipping out with *hidden internal will power* bodes ill for team good guys.

[Bells]

Well, "technically" Ichigo never had time to properly train his Bankai (while other captains took around 40-100 years just doing that) so they have at least an lame excuse for ichigo's bankai going from hot cakes to.. lame.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

And he can't really use his top speed without busting his body up (supposedly).

[Sithdarth]

So the Hougyoku is even more godmoddy then anyone ever dared to imagine. I'm not sure if I saw that coming or simply feared it had to happen eventually.

[Fifthfiend]

The Donomi Ending looks more plausible every week.

The problem is that would be awesome if the comic actually like, used it, cause then you've got Ballin' Power (superspeed++) with built-in limitation (using it breaks his everything) so his bankai fights could be about the tension of how much he could use his badass superspeed before it broke all his arms and legs, plus it'd be a built-in reason not to abuse the fuck out of his stupid bankai so his non-bankai would still be relevant.

But nope, it's just more Generic Energy Splooge.
