He went from that big ass blade, to a shattered version of it. He gained red skin and horns.

It almost remembered me of Ichigo when he went full hollow during Ulquiorra fight.

Yet, I think some of female fans of Bleach could have fainted after reaching final page of this chapter :D That goes without saying. After all if they all showed their best moves, then there would be no surprised looks on each other faces. Also the Quincies would know everything about their bankais and then every fight would've ended in favor of the quincies.

I don't know about Toshiro's ageing thing though... might be some sort of seal on his age finally breaking? A sudden puberty growth spurt? Plot Convenience?

Maybe this new power just had to go somewhere. In my head this is Kubo amping things up, to show that the quincies aren't the only ones able to pull up the most amazing trump cards.

The problem being that usually a shinigami then pays some ultimate price. Look at Komamura. He went from werewolf, to almost immortal man-wolf, to a simple wolf. The human metamorphesis technique I bet had a price he didn't saw coming. And most likely Hitsugaya will have some price to pay as well.
