What really gets my goat is not the fact that Lille's X-Axis is super powerful—but that it basically defeats the purpose of the series (which is fighting).

The X-Axis is pretty much a mini Almighty; it makes him invulnerable to all attacks. At that point it's no longer a fight; Lille doesn't have to try and attack, counter, stratigize, etc. He's already invincible.

And to rub salt in the wound, Shunsui's Bankai was completely ineffective against him. Unlike Yamamoto and Ichibe's Bankai which were unexpected, Shunsui's Bankai was probably the most anticipated of all. And for a while it lived up to the expectations, only to falter, because apparently, Quincy being decapitated in this series doesn't result in their death like it does for Arrancar.

Another thing that annoys me is in this final battle between the Shinigami and Quincy, the Quincy have scarcely used anything Quincy related apart from their Scrift and Helig Pfeil. The Royal Realm is now saturated with Reishi, and they don't even really seem to be taking advantage of that. They just spam their Scrift powers, because it is literally the only thing saving them.

In the fight between Royd and Yamamto, even though Royd was using his Scrift the whole time, he at least incorpated several Quincy abilities. In battle, he used: Blut, Hirenkyaku, Sprit Weapon, Helig Pfeil, even a Quincy Spell (what happened to those?). In short, it was a battle, not a cat and mouse game.
