I think I am misunderstaning this conversation. Reiatsu will not cancel out an ability. It may cancel a physical attack because the the attack is not stronger then the opponets reiatsu. For example Ichigos and Kenpachi first battle. Thats what happend with Aizen and Soifon. His reiatsu did not let the attack physically touch him so her ability could not work. It that was the case reiatsu canceling ablities then strong enough captains such as Yamamoto could have canceled Aizen zanpakuto abilities. Excuse the rant if it doenst apply but like I said im just trying to get a understanding of the conversion.
