After looking at the new chapter 665, I realize just how Benihime reflects urahara's personality. It reflects Urahara's ability to come up with any means to screw his opponent's strategy, which is what makes him a special war power in the first place, as stated by Askin

Benihime's various abilities in shikai is a reflection of Urahara's "means" to come up with any strategy to win a battle, be it trapping an opponent then burning them (Shibari, Benihime and Hiasobi, Benihime, Juzutsunagi), cutting them with enough force to tear through anything (Nake, Benihime and Kamisori, Benihime), defending against any kind of attacks of varying power (Chikasumi no Tate), or nullifying any attacks after studying them (Tsuppane, Benihime).

Benihime's bankai merely simplifies the means by taking the means to its very extremes that are considered impossible normally, by being able to tear apart anything it touches (albeit with a certain range, maybe reflecting the limits of mind?), and repairing himself with merely "stiching over" any of the damage he takes, like he did with his arms and eyes, or create a path for allies to aid him to win (literally).

EDIT: The bankai also reflects Kisuke's view of scientists, where they forge their own paths to creating a new world, with restructuring as its ability, and able to literally create paths, and the name literally meaning "Inquisition of the Crimson Princess of the Doors of Avalokiteśvara".

It also explains the appearance of Urahara's bankai, in the Chinese myths at least, Avalokiteśvara is a goddess with thousand hands and heads, with all the means give to her as a blessing in her wish to help others, much like how Urahara has the many means to open his own path to victory.

What do you guys think about my theory?
