I completely agree with you Demotivator. Kubo sure did left alot of things to be desired, but unfortunately we will never get it (unless a databook is released, or a miracle such as a anime of manga continuation happens).

Seeing Kira or Yumichikia's bankais would have been to cool to see at the least. For Kira, him being a zombie while fighting against the Lillie Barro army would have been a perfet oportunity. But alas, that whole confrontation was omitted itself. As for Yumichika, fights against Mask De Masculine or Giselle's Zombies would have been good opportunites too. But just like Kira, this "supposed" bankai never materialized.

The saddest thing that never came to fruition is not having "everyone's past is important" forecast. The quincy war against the shinigami 1000 years ago is a major plot that needs to be detailed, since it will explain alot about Yhwach, Yamamoto, and the earliest version of the Gotei 13 (including the Royal Guard and the Soul King). Plus other sub-plots such as Rukia becoming a lieutenant or Kenpachi's road to captaincy could have strength the lore among our favorite shinigami characters. One can only hope in the future that such details will come into the light.

While the past about Rangiku was lackluster at best in the thousand-year war (was all about Isshin and Masaki anyway), I hope that Kubo was planning to reveal what happened to her when Aizen used his hogyoku on her when still a child. Because honestly, that the only thing worth knowing about her, other than her deep relationship with Gin.

I wish more was elaborated about the "several" faces of Mayuri too. It sounds cool, but maybe Kubo was referring to Mayuri's clothes and sadistic persona switches, and not actual real face changes lol.

Yoruichi's secret past with Urahara will be intersting, but I;m more concerned over the likes of Aizen or Yhwach than her history. Maybe to learn more about her zanpakuto, cat transformations, and former status as princess, but that is all.

As for Renji being at Aizen's level, it both a yes and a no in certain perspectives. For those who say "yes", It is highly possible that Renji did infact surpassed pre-hogyoku transformed Aizen upon receiving his Royal Guard training. It not everyday you defeat a warrior who defeated two captain class opponents using bankai and several lieutenant level fighters rather easily. While Aizen has also did the same, Renji seemed just much more stronger than Aizen. Just my opinion, so I could be right or wrong. However, Renji is weaker to Aizen post-hogyoku transformed and when he was released from Muken. Aizen was truly ahead of Renji by a margin. So in short, stronger than Aizen from two years ago, but weaker than today's version.

Let me know if you agree or not.
