User blog comment:Scott swag/who would win kira&hisagi(shikai) vs ikkaku&renji(bankai)/@comment-1774413-20100906050454

i would give this one to Kira and Hisagi. Their zanpakutos together make up for eachs weaknesses. Kiras isnt very effective at long range whereas Hisagi's is. Hisagi's has no special ability but Kira's does. I'd say Kira could use his ability to increase the weight of renji and ikkakus bankai's to the point where they become a burden and Hisagi could either pull them in towards kira or deliver the finishing blow. Kira and Hisagi both seem more competent on the whole than Renji and Ikkaku.
