Yeah I agree that the Royal Guard are stronger than the Gotei 13 since it's taken almost all their forces to take down the Schutzstaffel whereas Nimaiya killed all of them by himself. We can't know whether or not he could've taken the Quincy in Vollstandig because he was caught off guard by Lille. Pernida and Lille would have easily won their battles if certain lieutenants hadn't pulled stuff out of their ass and if we don't get a satisfactory explanation for Kenpachi's Bankai the same may apply to Gerard. Askin was caught off guard much like Nimaiya, which is certainly the bane of all power level discussions, and was really done in by his personality.
