User blog comment:Kaestal/What is your favorite/least favorite Bankai?/@comment-5859784-20160407103923

My favorite would probably be "Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame" because it really was one of those bankais I imagined seeing when I first heard the term used in the sseries. This also seemed to break a trend of disappointing bankais )With the exception of Rukia's) after Zanka no Tachi.

Yes, Zanka no Tachi would come in second due to power and being a fitting bankai for someone that was Head Captain for over 2000 years.

My least favorite is Minazuki, that was just Kubo going "Welp, killing her off so might as well put this in." A clearly lazy throw in for a bankai (seriously, the same name?) and unless something comes up with this Kenpachi stuff, I don't think we will get anything unless it's going to be put into a data book.

Another one that I think is down there might be Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū for it's missed potential. Chojiro was a character that was pretty much there... and then dies. Yeah we get his backstory with Yammamoto and his bankai, which was used by a different character, so we just get an explanation on why he was considered strong enough to be the first division lieutenant (and possibly captain if he chose to) I don't know, I would've personally have liked to see a bankai as unique as his to have actually been used in the series rather than, "This is his bankai, he died but it was stolen so here's a weaker version of it."
