How would you rank the top 10 strongest Bankai? Let me know in the comments!

[kierafurneaux]

Also: Kyoraku's Bankai and Shikai are about the duality of his Personality: He's Childish on the surface, but Melancholy and brutal underneath

[LaidSleep]

So basically if Mayuri appears, it means you’ve lost, because he only appears once he has a plan to defeat you.

[Bossu]

East: Offense
West: Defense
South: Support
North: The End

[theoutspokentheorist]

I think it also should be mentioned that Mayuri's Bankai is reactive, whereas Urahara's Bankai is proactive. Urahara changes the battlefield to suit his plans, whereas Mayuri analyzes the battlefield and uses what he's learned to form a plan. Both geniuses, but the way they fight is different.

[CringeGamingOG]

Yamamoto’s Bankai is honestly so unfair. He literally just kills you by existing. I remember it being mentioned the flames are hotter than the surface of the sun. Not only that, it’s not even real flames, it’s literally just his REIATSU. Freakin nuts that guy.

[dend]

Aizen popped bankai. It's bringing dreams into reality. The return of Bleach

[patrickbidwell]

Mayuri is like Batman, give him prep time and he wins.

[manuelacosta]

Shunsui sure ranks up there. What also adds to it is his willingness to drop his affable element and get deadly serious when things get intense with either an opponent or the battlefield at large. The fact that he plays it like a game adds a sinister element to it all. Shunsui is definitely someone to be friends with and definitely not an enemy, luckily all you have to do is buy him a drink.

[benjaminacuna]

The difference between Mayuri and Kisukes bankai is that Kisuke earns and has a relationship with his sword whereas it’s been said that Mayuri forces his sword to
Achieve things. The reason kisukes is so
Strong is the harmony he has with his sword; something that a lot of these other wielders don’t have.

[slicessenpai]

I've always saw Kyoraku's Bankai's fourth stage as a sort of tribute to Yamamoto's Zanka no Tachi North. Both are mega slashes that instantly defeat any enemy they come in contact with. And it makes sense, since Yamamoto and Kyoraku had a teacher-student relationship and Kyoraku was very curious about Old Yama's true power, one that Yamamoto himself calls "demonic" when talking about his painting of 1000 years ago.

So, when Kyoraku gets serious upon releasing his Bankai, his own demonic, ruthless side comes out. Finishing off in a single, merciless slice.

[derekhogan]

Shunshui and Urahara have such abstract powers and it’s fun to see them use it.

One is based on “play” and the other “construction”. The Shikai are small but the bankai is broken.

[The_Horse-leafs_Cabbage]

I was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of Gin's bankai. He died so long ago, I forgot just how brutal and devastating his abilities were

[LNR_AliChaee]

I think for Hitsugaya people tend to forget that he'd likely only had bankai for maybe 20-30 years because he was only a third seat when Isshin disappeared. He's still young in terms of other Captains who have had much longer to learn to control their bankai. In comparision Gin and Byakuya have easily has double the amount of time to learn to use their banaki and Byakuya's bankai still grew within the series.

I think Hitsugaya's bankai is still only in it's early stages of developement similarly to how Rukia's is. I think his abilities being so diverse is him still learning his bankai and how it works that's why it isn't seen to be as deadly as someone like Byakuya's bankai. I'd want to see his banaki after 50 or even 100 years.

[acherontiaacheros]

Loved the video and the analysis, but what I REALLY loved was when you said Kisuke's bankai was one of your favorites. I thought it was a perfect fit for Urahara and just looked amazing. Seeing him come back from losing his eyes was phenomenal. Great list!

[ShearsOfAtropos]

I always thought the theme of Shunsui's zanpakutou is that his shikai brings childrens' games to life and his bankai brings adult games to life, ie theater. I though that was pretty neat. I think he probably has a set of "plays" that he can use, the same way he can use various children games in his shikai. so that's why this was so situational, it's just one of the very situational options he has. we just saw only one 'sequence', or play

[CloserZero]

“Years of training“.
*Shows the one guy that didn’t do years of training*

[cyanmoon]

How fitting for Rangiku and Gin to have swords that shatter into particles of something

[jbabylucus]

Toshiro's bankai ability to shut off other people's powers already makes that OP. The writers never allowed him to kill anyone as most of those characters were met to be killed by others or stay alive.

[TwerpenTheDarkClown]

Shunsui is such a dope character to me in fiction in general. Def reminds me of the “drunken master” stereotype seen throughout kung-fun films. I feel like his Bankai made a lot of sense, not just with the dichotomy of seriousness vs the children’s games of his shikai, but with his character as an author in the Seireitei and a very laidback, yet introspective and reflective individual. His bankai is basically a living literary device
