Well, if we'd cut to another fight with a Bankai that was meant to be concurrent with Hitsugaya/Sui-Feng, I'm sure we would've - but we went to Komamura instead, and he activated his Bankai a fair bit after the Hollowfication pill stuff took place, meaning the temporary effect would've already worn off by then.

But I agree that the altered Daiguren Hyorinmaru looked cool, especially since the spirit itself changed to an Eastern dragon.
