When i first saw those i thought wow now that is cool and it's also something that totallly fits Mayuri and all, but one thing has been bothering me: Does he really need to use them? I mean, as far as we know Shinigami have been standing and walking on air since ancient times (^^) which I always thought was something related to their Shunpo technique. Even Arrancar or Fullbringer could do it and even if Mayuri doesn't like Shunpo or any form of more 'physical' combat in general I think being a Captain he should be able to do this 'reiatsu platform airwalking'. So, why would he even need to wear them? Or was it just to show off his awesome new invention? :D
