Also, what I really appreciate is that the recent chapters have started giving back some of the Bankai's lost viability and splendor. After all, during the Arrancar conflicts, Bankais were either not used due to the captains in question being beasts, or were only barely able to fight against the Espada they were up against due to being, in all honesty, rather underwhelming for an ultimate power of a captain. I believe in this regard Kubo as improved the bankais without messing too much with them. Komamura got his Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō Dangai Jōe, that made him basically immortal. But that power came at a price.

Rukia's 'Hakka no Togame' is also a very dangerous bankai. Especially for her. If she doesn't finishes off her enemies with her bankai first strike, she leaves herself completely vulnerable to a counterattack.

We now got Zaraki bankai which name we still don't know.

We got Urahara's 'Guanyin Biraki Benihime Atarame' and it looked sick. Too bad Urahara was already under great strain from the gift ball deluxe or he might have pulled off some other cool moves.

And we now got Toushiro 'Daiguren Hyōrinmaru' fully matured form. Which I bet will look awesome, until the time comes to pay the price for using it.
