User blog comment:Bloody Bankai/The Plot and Characters in Bleach ( Spoilers inside, please avoid this post if you do not read the manga as well as watch the anime )/@comment-1654562-20091023055225

well i would love to see more of the manipulation of shadows, that was badass =) and i dont know what u would call the bankai of Tousen, a shadow or not? /shrug and i agree, Shunsui would probably get out of the range of Tousen's Bankai very quickly, and probably just kick the crap out of him, which is probably why they aren't going to pit these two together, because A - Shunsui can manipulate shadows as part of his Shikai, and we havn't even seen him do bankai yet, which i can't wait to see dernit. I can't even think of anyone Shunsui wouldn't beat up.  Except for a very odd fight with Aizen, where Aizen does his hallucination crap and messes with everyone.

Byakuya constantly seems like he is playing by his own rules, and they are VERY strict rules, like when Rukia was sentenced to death, he didn't even flinch about killing her, he wanted to force her dead, just so he would be able to keep his own "right and wrong" together. And idk about the new arc, where he turned on everyone, because if it follows Byakuya's own personal "rules" then he is doing it on his own free will. I just can't tell what he is thinking half the time in the anime or manga, because of his attitude all the time. When he even mentions how if fighting a creature/person/something with other "allies" he is almost hoping they get in the way so he can finish them as well, it just doesn't seem like he cares about people half the time, especially during the Bount arc, when he and Ichigo were fighting the Air manipulation guy, and Byakuya was willing to cut down Ichigo. And now the fight with Kenpachi, who fights the same way as Byakuya, Kenpachi is willing to cut down Byakuya if he gets in the way, and i bet its the same reversed as well...

i just don't know what rules he plays by half the time, thats why he is so coonfusing to me, as well as the fact that we have seen a lot of his Bankai, and i do love how his has multiple effects one stronger then the other. I would just love to see more of the stronger Captains/other Captains develop the same way, where they have multiple strengths and show them constantly, even though Shunsui doesn't really need to show it all because he beats whoever he needs to without exerting himself =).
