Not one of my favourites. The ending was ok; kind of a Shattered Shaft redux imo, but I'm not so sure about the rest. Some of the stuff was just too silly, like that handstand thing.

So Oestu has a harem of other spirits. Why are there so many, and why are they not most distinct? I thought they were supposed to be as unique as the Shinigami that spawned them, yet these all look rather generic to me. Skitzo suggested that they are all his, but I'm not aware of any canon spirits that exist as 2 or more; he's the creator, so we'll see if he's a special case. As for Mera, I doubt it; I'd think she'd have a more extravagent name if she was, and would probably smack him if he didn't use it.

But what you said about Ichigo and Renji resorting to the other skills is probably the right idea, or maybe just to appreciate their zanpakuto more, so it goes beyond respect, which in the case of Ichigo/Zangetsu has not really been taken further since the fight with Kenpachi; while Tensa Zangetsu sort of exhibited it during Deicide, I'm not sure Ichigo returned the sentiment (A brotherly love! Stop getting dirty ideas at the back!). Perhaps it's a bit of knowledge that's been forgotten over time, considering that he's likely been in the Royal Dimension for a number of years.

So, in sort, a number of things to ponder over that aren't too bad, but could have been better delivered.
