Yea Tman look at the fights as they unfold and how the characters arent acting like themselves. First and foremost for experienced combatants such as the captains who dont really know fully what they have to deal with and already know that the opponent can steal their banaki. Why would four of them use their bankai from the jump, simply to see what would happen. Who does that, does that even seem like something they as individuals would do or as captains would do. Secondly the concept being created here is that all the sudden captains arent nothing without their bankai. All the sudden all the other skills they have disappear, how is that good storytelling. Its basically taking the easiest way out to get to your point. But what good does that do for the story. Its like lets kill off everybody in the story leave ichigo and then bring the Royal Guard and then the story ends. Ugh ok.
