I think that Mayuri is something like the mad Batman of the series. Not in terms of attitude and morality but in terms of what he is capable of: His strenght, reflexes and swordsmanship might be quite low referring to other Captains but, just like Batman, he can beat enemys which are more powerful than him in many ways through preparation. And Mayuri has a high standard of preparation. If he gets caught offguard he probably has a bad stand but that happens rarely. Therefore his ranking should be a little bit flexible.
