Forum:Shunsui and Ukitake's Power

I personally have been into bleach since 2007 and have always heard about how powerful Shunsui and Ukitake are, yet have never seen them do much. The General who we all know to be extremely powerful has even confirmed that the two are most powerful captains in previous generations or the current. Its not until the past couple of chapters has it become apparent how powerful these captains are and what we know about their power is not what we originally thought and now we are learning we know little of anything about the power they have. But what we are learning is how incredibly powerful they are if only just getting a glimpse. Katen Kyokatsu can make child's play into reality, something so simple in the real world can easily be dangerous and give advantage to Shunsui, who knows beside the 4 we have seen what other games it plays and this is all still in shikai too. It now makes more sense why Ukitake tells him not to show his bankai where others can see, i cant even begin to imagine what that can do. Then there is Ukitake he is sick all the time and he doesn't get involved in fights normally but when he does its crazy and then you see how Sogyo no Katawari can redirect energy attacks, once again I don't think we are seeing everything and its becoming more apparent there are more to meets the eye with these captains and their zanpakuto.Salubri 16:09, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

I just really hope that Ukitake has some sweet ability besides the reverse of the persons attack. Which is awesome enough in its own right. But i just feel that he should have something more. Jordanbobordan88

And thats what makes them so interesting. Its like the story is showing the hugh power gap between General and the other captains. But its teasing us with the in between. I mean they had no problems with facing off with him head on and even said he is falling off or I might say getting rusty. Now that have to give some type idea of how strong they really are. Thats is the reason I like these two. They know how strong they are but yet instead of proving it to everyone they only use their strength when need be. Tealang99 17:43, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

It was really interesting. When Shunsui went down with that cero and Ukitake was floored by Wonderweiss, everybody started talking about how the Gotei 13 were finished and didn't have anything more to offer. Especially when the Vizards showed-up. Even when it was made clear that the Kyoraku was fine, thanks to Lisa stomping on his head, people still thought it was going to be the Vizards vs the Espada show. As it turned out, Rose and Love with mask + shikai are not equal to Kyoraku with just his shikai. There is a reason Kyoraku is what he is. Scary, truly scary. Especailly since you wouldn't pick him for someone so terrifying given his laziness and general playfulness. Tinni 06:28, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
