Well, her Shikai was useless against Aizen; I'm not suggesting for one moment that BG9's as strong as Aizen, but if there's a significant gap in power, I imagine it'd be ineffective against BG9 too, and considering Sui-Feng's assault thus far hasn't really acheived much till now (potentially), I would suspect that there is a noticale gap in power between them. Liked that moment with her and Omaeda btw; a nice inversion of their interactions during the Battle of FKT.

I liked the look of Daiguren Hyorinmanru's hollowfied form; looks a lot more badass than it did before, and maybe Toshiro will finally start living up to his alleged potential, which in recent times has been conspicuous in its absence. Also don't think BFG9000 and Cang-du are dead; we haven't had anything like enough filler panels yet.
