He couldn't really stop himself from being cut in half, could he?

Well he did go around saying hey guys that can steal bankai here is my bankai. Nor did he at least try to dodge it Yhachs sword. Yeah he would have died in a few panels but would have been nice to go down with a fight and not just stand there. I think Yhwach couldn't steal his bankai a thousand years ago and Yamamoto was confident and used it again, being unaware that now he could and that signed his death. Well, the technology to steal Bankai didn't exist a thousand years ago, if it had, Yamamoto would surely have warned the captains as soon as the war declaration was made. Yamamoto was well aware of the risk that his Bankai might be stolen, but he still used it twice. He was overconfident and blinded by rage, and that spelled his doom.
