I thought the Bankai spam thing was more of an anime issue, tbh. I mean, in the Arrancar arc, following his battle with Grimmjow, he never left Bankai mode, so, in total, he has only used Bankai a handful of times in the manga, and most of the time in the manga, he fought in Shikai for a little while first.

In the anime-only filler arcs, however, he would go Bankai against the most basic of foes - like the average Hollows in the Shusuke Amagai arc, not to mention he'd do so the minute he entered combat. The anime really did overuse the whole going Bankai thing. They also downplayed the strength of Ichigo's Bankai, something Kubo has corrected both in the fight against Ginjo and against Ivan.

The rest of the chapter was...rather annoying. Ayon's attack got shrugged off? You're kidding me right? Can someone pleeeease shut this self-absorbed Quincy up? If all the Quincy are like this, this arc is going to be highly frustrating for me. Lastly, we get another explanation on why Quincies are so dangerous. I don't think it was needed, as Kubo gave us the exact same explanation when Ishida was introduced, but maybe he wanted to refresh some memories. Eh, whatever. Hopefully next weeks will be better.
