@Xil they were exciting to see and I was so hyped for it ngl, but after the reveal, it was a bit if a let down in my opinion. Shunsui's Bankai was uber strong but unfortunately, it got shadowed by Lille's immortality plus it retained it's shikai form instead of changing into something greater and it wasn't exactly explained properly on what it could do.

Urahara's Bankai was alright. It's super strong too but Kubo didn't really show us a lot of it (and I doubt we will get to see more of it as the end is near and with the state that Urahara is in now) plus it dosen't really have any immense attack power like it's shikai. Speaking of his shikai, what exactly is the link in their powers? No zanpakuto can have unrelated abilities right? Shunsui's don't seem to make sense either as I don't really see the link between children's games and theatre plays but I'll let it slide as you said before that the link may be reality warping.

Kenpachi's Bankai, again, is immensly strong but the design of his blade is rather lazy plus it doesnt have any special moves apart from the immense power up nor does it even have a name and Yachiru is still a mystery. A mystery that may never be solved or rushed (as in only mentioned instead if having some sort of flashback of Yachiru's story or something) seeing as the end is approaching.

Other Bankai's in this arc: Unohana's Bankai was... Wait she used her Bankai? Toshiro's complete Bankai had cool powers but it couldve had a better deaign. On the other hand, Yamamoto's was good. Rose's was good, it fit his theme perfectly and the design was satisfying. At least Kensei's powers were explained, I liked his bankai. Chojiro's was alright. Renji's one looked cool and Rukia's one also had a good design. Ichibe's "Bankai" or Shinuchi, I should say, was.. Can't really say much about it's design but it's powers (although not very offensive) fits what his zanpakuto can do and it probably has one of the most powerful abilities ever. It's just too bad it didn't work on Yhwach for some reason. Mayuri's modified Bankai was cool and Sajin's new Bankai technique was cool.
