This implies he was taking shikai ichigo seriously what sort of brain dead thinking is this
Next you going to tell me soifon got a zenkai boost which is why she was able to blitz vega when previously she didn’t
Sizing up your opponent is a standard thing
Byakuya literally even says to counter your fragile point that he did not get faster post using bankai , ichigo got slower
You sure about this ? Zaraki always had more reiatsu than byakuya to the point they all generally believed his excess reiatsu was why his sword was always released
You trying to tell me the Zaraki that lost to shikai ichigo is faster than byakuya ?
So why bother mention it in ichigo and Zaraki case then
You soft brain
Oh wow !!
@docj as the resident Tōsen guy , does Tōsen bankai boost his stats ?
If you believe this fantasy I’ll leave you to it
We literally see Urahara needing to sew his body to boost its abilities despite already being in bankai . If bankai gave a default stat boost why bother with that ?
