So, time to rant. Since quincy specialize in absorbing and manipulating reishi, can't Gerard absorb the reishi that composes the ice of hitsugaya's bankai, and to an extent, the reishi that makes up byakuya's bankai? Remember when Quilge was able to absorb basically everything back in Hueco Mundo? Why can't these "elites" do anything even remotely close? Absorbing reishi is a BASIC quincy technique! This battle could be over in a second due to those abilities! Now, I know what you're thinking: "Oh these guys can't use those powers because they'se special". Then why are they all able to use heilig bogan or why is lille able to rebuild his weapon using reishi?
