It's either YT comments or the subreddit. Neither I trust with a toothpick on a bright day
The Bleach subreddit generally have at least
some brain cells. YouTube comment sections are a lottery, especially if they're a reaction channel's comment section.
Anyway, the logic used was hilarious.
This was their exact comment, "I should note that Renji is not even standing next to the zero squad, any captain, and in general a person stronger than a lieutenant will be able to defeat him, because he is only shown in the anime as over strong, most likely for the fan base that he has (by the way, it is not clear to me either, because as a character he is frankly shitty), If you look at his abilities, I'm afraid that everything is very weak there"
I responded to them, and this was their response, "He doesn't have any powerful feats or big experience, he doesn't even have a good plot bro, what are you watching?"
(I should remind everyone that this was a comment on a video of someone reacting to this very episode, meaning they had to have seen at least his fight. I think they mostly just don't like Renji, which is why they try to discredit his strength).
Nawwwwww, Sui Feng? The same one that barely beat a BASE BG9? Bruh
I just checked; it's the same person, "Rose and Kensei yeah, but not Soi Fon I think. Her speed will carry in my opinion"
They were responding to this comment, "Renji is captain level in terms of power but not experiences enough like others like Byakuya, he is indeed above Rose and Kensei, even Soi Fon" which was responding to the first comment I posted above.
I should point out that this all in one comment thread.
