The problem with his Bankai is that its used as a last resort, unlike other bankai's Shunsui can only safely use his if non of his allies are near. Yama while very destructive, his allies only need to not get his by his attacks to stay safe, but Shunsui allies need to be no where near him when he uses his Bankai. Too add on to that, Yama's Bankai which if used for too long will kill him, Shunsui can be killed by his Bankai at any time. His bankai gives the enemy 4 acts before finally dying, if the enemy can beat Shunsui in the first 3 acts before the 4th then they win, while Yama's bankai is about brute strength and the only way to beat it is with equal strength or skill, the way to beat Shunsui is to do the one thing his Bankai is all about, play the game to win.
