User blog comment:Godisme/Gin's Bankai/@comment-1932702-20100514092528

Gin's Bankai is an odd one all right. First people were thinking of mobbing Kubo and now they think it's amazing in it's simplicity. @Godisme- I would say your second point ( as in no.1) would be the most Bankai-like. But you're right. It doesn't give him much of an advantage. The first person who comes to mind related to 'not-so-cool' Bankais would be Ikkaku. His Bankai doesn't give him any added abilities (as of now, anyway). Gin could have something similar, like his sword needs time to get all its powers, etc.
