I can accept powerful Quincies who have developed new techniques over a thousand years to come up to a Shinigami captain's level of power. My biggest problem with them is that despite all the lecturing on Quincy and their developed techniques in the early chapters of this story arc it doesn't seem to matter. Whatever people thought of Quilge Opie his introduction did an excellent job of showing the Quincy fighting style, techniques, and the strengths and weaknesses of both in battle. It was interesting on a tactical level. But now the Quincy are just sort of this superpowered blandness with none of the tactical concerns. Powered up or powered down they look and fight and feel the same. Even the dreaded Volstandig is just flash without substance. Being preordained to effortless wins just makes them even more bland and uninteresting.
