I was thinking of ways for how the Shinigami should deal with the Vandenreich and one thing got my attention. In the Bount arc, Ran'Tau stabs Jin Kariya with her hairpin and as a consequence Kariya is later unable to absorb reishi to heal his wounds when fighting Ichigo.

Since both Bounts and Quincy are human and they each have the ability to absorb reishi and utilize its power, it might be possible for Ran'Tau to develop a similar 'poison' to use against the Vandenreich.

A Quincy that can't absorb reishi isn't much of a threat to a Shinigami, am I wrong? ;)
