Sounds like a plotkai to me. The Stoic arrived, No Selled old Äs, gave a Rousing Speech, left and then reinvigorated Rukia released bankai.

How Rukia went from absolutely crapping herself to completely fine from a single speech against irrational fear is definitely inconsistent.

My suspension of disbelief is waning for Rukia.
