Plotkai sounds better than Dues ex machina plus rolls into conversation more nicely :D I'm aware of what it is don't kick it off again. Now onto my point.

A number of issues about the Zommari fight clearly mark it out as a case of Plotkai I mean take these for example:

- He can take control of the entire body instantly by marking the head...well what the hell stopped him doing that then making Byakuya slit his own throat? irregardless or who does this to whom or when, when a character has a 1-shot and chooses not to use it to prevent a popular character being killed/defeated this is a Plotkai. It is in any Manga/TV show or whatever. If you don't want a foe that can take you out in one shot with no difficulty, don't give them that skill then choose for them not to use it! silly writers =_=

2. The whole thing with the Byakuya Barrier is equally bad in many ways...kinda removed all seriousness from the battle and turned the Espada one of the ten most powerful hollows into this wimpy push over =_= this one irked me when I read it back at release and still irks me everytime someone uses it in debates about Espada strength.

I mean it's probably one of the more highly debated ones as I from time to time see people discussing Plotkai or not today. But the Szayel one I kinda consider it I mean it's got bits that clearly are like the "if it bites my hand it will be destroyed" bit was oddly specific and the "I removed my organs" was a little too much as it seemed like a rushed out way to immunise him against a very powerful abillity.

The Aizen barrier could seem like Plotkai but then you gotta consider this is the guy who did "Lol I planned your entire life from before you were born to where you fighting me now, everything you have ever said, done or thought was my plan" kinda well...killed him for me and seemed like a massive Plotkai
