Onto the second point. You're kidding me right? You think someone... as smart as Shunsui wouldn't understand that he had undeniable weaknesses that he needed to overcome? Even though he's one of the more intelligent characters in the series? You're saying that Coyote Starrk was on par with Sniper-guy then? You'd have to be to make that assumption even though you have no proof to show for it. So Rukia didn't train either, she just gained Bankai out her bum... So did Shuhei, and anyone worth their salt in this war...
um, what are you talking about? Rukia quite clearly did train under special conditions with the royal guard.She can now mix it with the higher Captains. Starrks speed matches Shunsuis speed, In terms of overall battlepower? I don't know. as for having no proof, THAT is a reason for powerscaling and not against. it should be acceptable to have Starrk equal to Shunsui in speed.
Except their have been more effective ways to train having been shown from Kisuke's contraptions which allow for gaining Bankai in short of 3 days. places where you can heal and train for greater periods of time than without. Kisuke still helped out the Soul Society, dude.
Again, Kubo is the person you should question about his lame excuses and crappy inability to show a characters strength properly. Otherwise I'm sticking to the fact that he'd have trained.
OK... That has nothing to do with the fact that he had noticeable injuries and had a long and hard battle with Starrk and was attacked after the fact.
It's either, Shunsui did train offscreen,and didn't increase any stats, or he didn't train at all, your pick.Aizen mentioned Limits to Shinigami Strength in soul society. It is also quite likely Shunsui is already reached the limit of a shinigami, and cannot progress any further, as you said, he is a Smart and wiser character. so if he did train, and got nowhere, ATLEAST in the area of speed, theres you answer why. this is irrefutile, it's Aizens whole reason for leaving soul society in the first place. you're literally arguing with the manga now.
And that is no reason as to why Shunsui, who injured could still react to starrk, COULD NOT react to Aizen, At all, keep in mind he blitzd 3 OTHER CAPTAINS at the same time as him
Shinji didn't even have his mask on, there's nothing that states that Shinji was inferior or superior to Shunsui anyway. Again, a lack of showing clear abilities...
Shinji is just captain level. i made that comparison because you just seem to believe shunsuis speed dropped so dramatically, that any relevant lightly injured captain could atleast be able to react
There is a reason. Becuase you can't just give him those powers without basis. You don't have any proof that states that Aizen was that much more superior to Shunsui than that. The Shinigami had trained themselves to fight because they were beaten badly by Aizen, they are a militia, it's the most intelligent thing to do to acknowledge your insufficiencies and increase your skill when you lose a war if you have the time and the resources to do so. Otherwise they would be the worst militia ever seen in fiction, par for the course of Bleach I guess.
That's why "at least" was invented. He's not getting MHS though.
This isn't without basis, i've been telling you it's viable through powerscaling "At least" was implemented because we had nothing to scale it to, and it's incredibly flawed and screws over bleach's pretimeskip, unless you think it's ok that they're all Mach 29, for 2/3rds the series. what do you think casual people on browsing this page think? or people who don't read bleach think? when everyone is at high hypersonic, which simply isn't true.
And Base Aizen doesn't have to be massively massively above Shunsui for this to count, Aizen is definitely Scaleable to Shunsui, how is this even debateble? Like i said, Aizen was portrayed WAY above shunsui's level, and he has not shown any training, or results of any training.
