This chapter raises a question that's been bothering me for a while: if so many characters (good and evil) possess abilities that are supposedly so powerful or dangerous to innocent bystanders even by training with them, how do they even know how to use them? Let's take the man of the hour, Urahara, for example: if his Bankai is so damn dangerous, how did he even manage to train with it in order be good enough to use it? The same goes Kyoraku and his mass despair field, Soifon's missile launcher, Yamamoto's all consuming heat death of the universe, etc. This is especially confusing in connection with the Quincies. They've been stuck in their castle inside Soul Society's shadows for one thousand years so who or what have they been fighting in order to become proficient with their powers of mass destruction?
