And this all begs the question, where the hell was "Yachiru Kenpachi" during the Aizen conflict? Her 'supreme healing skillz' are virtually redundant next to Orihime, who has done 90% of the healing throughout the series. Kubo dangles things till they're not wanted anymore, and then realizes that, so amps whatever he's dangling up with a cheap imitation of Red Bull to try to catch glances.

This writing-on-the-fly crap of his is really showing in these last few arcs. And the cliche Japanese gimmick of "make the person who is super nice and lalala pretty secretly have a sociopathic super-titan-ninja personality and turn out to be stronger than anyone else, until the next gimmick (like the NEW-new Hollow Ichigo that we all know is coming) comes along and nullifies their super power!

Rather than butcher characters who were fine the way they were, he needs to expand on things that are still valid and sensible, like... Shunsui, Ukitake and Urahara's bankai. And expand on the Vizards and their abilities, which were not much longer-lived in plot relevancy than the stupid, redundant Fullbringers. Also, where the hell is Yoruichi in this arc, and oh yeah, how about seeing her bankai, or better yet, just seeing her ZANPAKUTO. Also, Aizen is stated to have a Bankai, and if that doesn't happen, the whole series fails, as it was built on that man.
