Interesting setup: 8 Sternritter vs. 6 Shimigami, 4 of which are confirmed to have a Bankai, one who is largely suspected to have one, and one who's Shikai can drain rietsu. Hardly seems fair to the Sternritter despite their numerical advantage. Of course, I imagine one of them will mention that fact, only for mor high ranking Shimigami to show up to even things out. After all, there are still plenty of Shimigami yet to fight, and still a few Captain's bankai to reveal (like Urahara's, for example). Not to mention that the Hueco Mundo group, The Fullbringers, and the Visoreds and others in the human world have yet to enter the fray as well, so this could still take a while.
