Why is everyone complaining about Kirge being overpowered, when we know for a fact that he isn't the most powerful Quincy around? "Overpowered" usually means "overpowered compared to something else" like one could say that Aizen or Baraggan were overpowered, but Kirge is an early end enemy. The Star Knight Order will most likely be more powerful, having the same basic abilities but with more strength behind them. And the Reishi absorption can most likely be resisted by combatants on the same power level (case in point: Ichigo clashed with Kirge and was fine), which means the Gotei 13 can at least resist the Vandenreich army.

Although the prediction that the Seireitei will be annihilated to bring out the Royal Guard is spreading.
