A meme's a meme bruh, and I gotta respect memes.

But yeah, I'm split on my opinion on the 'Where's _______'s Bankai' or 'Why use Bankai now and not before' comments. On one hand, the unveiling of a character's finisher is always something I get hyped about. I fangirled hard for Urahara and Shunsui. That being said, I know that this story isn't for me. It's for a wide fanbase, probably far wider than Kubo ever intended. It has to be told in a way that fits the story while also not alienating everyone. I'd have been miffed had Urahara used Bankai too early, and miffed if Kubo skipped it. Some people are miffed that it got used on not-Aizen or not-Yhwach. Two sides of the same coin, really.
