That's like saying that Grimmjow's Resurreccion is unique because it's based on his Hollow form. It's not a unique trait.

And seeing as how this is on the questions and answers forum...what exactly is your question here?

Starrk does not have a "resureccion" like the other espada. he simply refuses his soul, as half of it is in lilynette and uses his full power.

His power is the ability to split the power of his soul, not draw uopn on former hollow form. And so his abilities show who he is, similar to a zanpaktou.

I.e. kyoraku comes off aloof but can be extremely deadly and serious on the drop of a dime. Thus deadly childrens games. Seem silly if you defend right, but get hit and you may die.

Starrk's strongest shown ability was his giant pack of wolves, all independent pieces of his soul, which shows whom he is, similar to a zanpaktou but more.. direct since he manipulates the soul himself.

Shunsui's shikai, and bankai alter reality, to suit his games.

Not only does starrk's wolves kind of deny reality (bringing a lonely man a huge pack/family to defend him) But it's the only thing even kind of like it in bleach. And I believe he can warp reality a bit using it.

In thier fight banter, at first they agreed they were very similar. But as the fight went on thier personalities went the opposite ways.

Shunsui became more detached and willing to kill. Starrk became anxious, and offered to let his defeated opponents live (earning him a knife in the back)

Thier abilities (in my opinion) show the similarities, yet sharp contrasts of thier characters :)

Also somehow I posted it to the wrong forum cause i'm new.
