His attitude could change and be more serious and blood-thirsty, maybe be able to summon Demons to attack his opponents, and his reiatsu can cause fear and terror. It doesn't seem (at least to me) as a powerful bankai, it even doesn't sound more powerful than the shikai.

Remember too that a Bankai has to be between 5-10 times more powerful than a Shikai. Not necessarily. Zanka no Tachi was likely more than 5-10 times more powerful than Ryujin Jakka... However, on this thread's topic... Well, I guess one can never truly predict what it will be until we see it. (We might not even see it). But the -Oni part in his abilities names might hint to some demonic, ogre like thing.. It's an approximation. This isn't DBZ with multipliers. And you're right that we can't predict it until we see it. I mean, the only info we've got to go by is "You can't use it around other people"/"You can't let other people see it". However, hasn't Kubo confirmed that we're at least gonna' get to see Shunsui's Bankai?
