I wasn't against it when he did it in the Amagai arc, but yeah him using Sprenger in this did kind of piss me off. In his base form, Yammy might be stronger than Szayel Aporro at this point (there's really no way to actually confirm this), but still, Sprenger shouldn't have been used that lightly against him, and even then, it should do a lot more damage; Szayel Aporro stated that Sprenger didn't kill him because of the modifications he made to his room at that time, and even when he is hit by a new technique, the damage would be less.

I don't mind that they made the encounter a bit longer, but I am a bit upset about Yammy being somewhat resistant to the Seele Schneider, as well as the use of Sprenger.
