Who described Rukia as a strong combatant because I don't remember anyone mentioning she's particularly powerful. But I digress.

Look. I guess what I really have a problem with is the lack of battle development from other, smaller characters which makes sense when you consider their role in the story. But I still think we should see a little more evolving of at least a few of them, especially since 17 months have passed. It just makes for a better, more rounded story.
