Soi Fon looked pretty cold to me, like she could care less about making babies with Vega (so fanfics put to rest, no feelings...he was just her way of finding out what a Resurrecion was like...then rendered useless after).

Rukia is far more superior to Uryuu and Chad by a longshot, and in some degrees...she's superior to Renji even. Renji was pretty much a "tank" in the fight with SzayelApporo and the fight beforehand, with Yylford, was only won by using his full power after having his butt kicked. Provided, of course, their limits were off...that fight could have been won easily.

Rukia, even with her limits on, easily disposed of an Arrancar (D-Roy) despite being the "weakest" of the group...she still took little to no effort to handle someone about...3rd seat level in power I'd say. I mean sure, Grimmjow pretty much made her useless in his first two fights with Ichigo but after that point, she proved to be an asset in this endeavor. The main reason she struggled so much with Aaronerio in my opinion is due to the fact that he had to make himself look like Kaien, which ultimately weakened her morale and thus caused her to recieve more damage than necessary. If she had fought him just an Arrancar, things may have gone more in her favor in the end than going unconsious after the point.

She then further proves to be an asset as she overcomes Rudobon, which in his own right could be probably an Espada but instead operates as an execution unit. She also holds her own fairly well against a released Yammy, despite the fact that Renji and Chad are there. Anyways, I have a feeling we won't see the last of her powers...

To dismiss her as being at the same level as Uryuu or Chad is insulting. Chad is like I have said, the Krillin of DBZ. He's always there, he gets one or two enemies beat...then is always dealt with in about 1 to 2 hits. Uryuu has power but is about on par with Renji as far as I'm concerned if anything.

As for the whole issue of Mirrored Personalities fighting each other, well...that's how he wanted to do it. I personally like that Kubo did that...it's kind of like each good guy character overcoming themselves but in the form of an actual enemy, not just a reflection of themselves.
