We know the shingami's powers as well. Also Gordon Sternritter already used Volstandig before and did not lose and Pepe and Giselle have not used theirs yet.

Yumichika, 69 ichigo and Ikkaku haven't shown their bankai to the sternritter yet. And in the case of Ikaku we need to see how breaking his bankai made it stronger somehow. :shrug:

All sensitivity has long ago atrophied
Only the ones that lost their bankai's got the pills. Likely Byakuya got his while he was with King Kai...er up with zero division

I think Kubo dropped the bankai stealing plot device. I think most of these guys are more interested in using their Vollstandig instead anyway

They can't use Vollstandig if they've got a stolen bankai.

I remember the hollow pills, I thought only captains got them? Rukia and Renji were in the place with the soul king, and hisagi and the bald guy aren't captains..
I don't remember that fella getting his bankai back after the fear guy got killed. Isn't it stored in some medallion?

Renji could be strong enough now that his Bankai would be too powerful to control (lol), or it could just be that Urahara sent one to everyone with a bankai and not just captains.

Rukia's bankai killed As Nodt the second she activated it, so he couldn't have stolen it if he wanted to. (Plus I think he was in Volstandig by then)

Byakuya already had his bankai back by the time he shows up to where As Nodt and Rukia are. He presumably got a hollow pill. It didn't show it, but I'd presume that's the case, as As Nodt definitely didn't have it anymore by the time he faced Rukia.

Urahara probably teleported them a pill or something sometime after they dropped anyway.

In fact, she's really tiny. According to Kubo's end of chapter info sheets, she's about 4'8" and 70 lbs. How she was ever effective as a shinigami outside of kido is just beyond me.

Shinigami strength doesn't seem to necessarily be related to how big you are. I mean, Ichigo no sold Jidanbo at the start of the soul society arc and he's not super buff or anything.

That weight makes no sense for that height so I'm pretty sure Kubo just picked something at random.

It's probably meant to contrast her more to Ichigo who at the start of Bleach was the big, delinquent fighter, while she complimented him being the short, strict support. A lot of the things about those two characters are meant to compliment each other, even right down to their bankai.

Yeah that's a BMI of <16, which is pretty significantly underweight, especially for anyone who was even moderately athletic.

This actually makes sense. He appears wide because of his clothing but Kenpachi is actually lanky and skinny. He's practically skin and bones. I remember in some scenes you see his chest and it's basically sternum and ribs with skin pulled tight over them.

Ichigo is actually 5'8.5" at the start of the series. I noticed that and Rukia's height/weight when I was rereading the series recently and thought it was a little ridiculous. Especially because Chad is 6'5" from the time he was introduced. Imagine a Japanese teenager that tall.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
I mean dude may write a half assed story at times, but the fact all the dead spirit people don't weigh as much as you'd imagine and the living people mostly do seems fairly consistent with the idea dead people don't weigh a lot.

It'd be really awesome if that was the intent and not Kubo just pulling numbers out of his rear end, but with this series it's hard to tell.
