Well, what I mean by "stands out" is that they really display that they are above the average caliber. I'm not gonna deny that Shinji is pretty powerful and smart, but beyond displaying his Reiatsu and having a sneaking suspicion that something was up with Aizen, we haven't really seen him prove his pedigree in the same way that, say, Shunsui has. Doesn't make him any less awesome or have any less potential to do that, though.

I hope that makes sense, I'm half asleep right now.
