Didn't enjoy any of the fraccion fights other than the Ayon fight, Kira vs Redder, which was really short, and Hisagi defeat Findor.

Agreed. Aizen cutting down SHunsui, Shinji, Sûi-Feng and Hitsugaya so easily, was ridiculous.

I think Kubo should have drawn the story at that point to have the real Aizen being stabbed through the back by Hitsugaya, instead of switching places with Momo in a way that at least in the anime was pictured as ridiculous, IMO. Then, instead of dying, Aizen blasted off Hitsugaya with a Kidô-spell, smiled sarcastically and revealed the Hôgyoku implanted in his body. And then, the 3 captains and Shinji attacked him and he fought them off, making a short fight, before cutting them down, powered up stronger by the Hôgyoku.

Then the rest happened like in the story, with Yamamoto taking on Aizen. That's a scenario I think would have been much better. I also think it was stupid how Harribel, a Vasto Lorde, was held back so easily by 1 captain and 2 former lieutenants.

As for the fights in general - I only really enjoyed Hisagi vs. Findorr and Komamura owning Poww with his Bankai, except mostly enjoying the Espada fights.

Yeah, it was Shunsui and Shinji getting beat down so easily with just his Shikai that bothered me. Shunsui especially is such a powerful captain and we see Aizen dust him like it didn't even matter.

I was bothered by the absence of Ukitake as well. I guess they tried to write him out without revealing too much about his powers so Kubo could address that at a later time.

It was just a little messy. I liked the chaotic feel the first Wandenreich invasion had. No one was expecting so much devastation and such a total beat down. I was a bit bothered by the fact that none of the captains came to the aid of their division-mates other than Byakuya (and look how that turned out), but I thought it felt like a real combat situation, like a real sneak attack.
