Honestly feel Hinamori was more worthwhile than this. That was easily the easiest counter to advanced skill I've ever read. Even easier than not looking into an Uchiha's eyes.

People getting owned is always good.
Mashiro used her mask while training Hisagi, so they can't have had their masks removed.
What we need to be asking is why the fuck did it take the Music dude so long to kill that fodder?!
If they can't use their masks and are this weak fuck...was kind of disappointing.
HEY GUYS WE ARE ABOUT TO FIGHT QUINCIES AND EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE HOLLOW POWERS, WE EVEN GAVE OUR OTHER CAPTAINS SOME TOO, YOU CAN'T USE THEM LULZ
So pride
Much wow
Same reason everyone didn't pop their Bankais as soon as Aizen showed up -- Kubo.
I actually have an explanation outside of Kubo being Kubo. Remember that in the FKT arc they said a person's mask only stayed for long periods when there was a small difference in power between opponents. It's why Kensei didn't use his against Wonderweiss after Mashiro got spanked.
I do not remember that.. but still. Even if the masks aren't going to stay for long periods, why not activate it right as you're about to start attacking. Even if they don't last for the full duration of the fight, you can get some more powerful hits in. Or, in someone like Rose's case, why not activate it right as he's about to use his final move?
So goddamned satisfied someone got fucking owned after unnecessarily explaining their powers. Im actually smiling.
I'm not. I just don't like how he has a badass moment killing the little dude so coldly, then we get a menacing looking bankai, then he gets taken out immediately. These captains have been around for a long time they should be a hellva lot stronger than that. Same goes for Kensei. I was hoping for more out of his bankai.
is there a better way to show off bankai's and explain how they work to the reader? especially when the audience is aimed at teenagers. or rather, used to be aimed at teenagers. this shit came out what... 6 or 7 years ago? also, any shinigami can just be thrown into the jacuzzi of healing and be good to go so all these deaths or critical wounds don't phase me at all. "oh. he has a star-shaped hole in his chest. whatever...." is how I feel.
I'm not in favor of the way kubo makes everyone explain EXACTLY what their super secret mega powerful ultra move does. it's dumb and insulting but what can ya do.
Show off the bankai, use ability. Determine what the ability is by seeing what the ability does. Not hard for 99.99% of manga characters.
Bust out a data book for those that like to argue about these things.
Or have a narrator explain it so the readers get it without anything so stupid happening.
Makes me wonder what the fuck ever happened to that Kira dude? Guy got blasted during the initial invasion and no word of him since lol.
It's times like this that exposition would serve Kubo well.
I think if Kubo didn't have people explain what their Bankai/abilities do, there would honestly be more complaining. Especially when the character hasn't been in the manga much or is a popular character. No one really cares when fodder characters and less popular "explain" their bankai/abilities at all. Imagine if Rose did his Bankai and did not explain it, there would be a couple of people on various forums going "lol wtf" or "wtf just happened?" and very few people going "wow that was awesome." Despite people complaining that fighters seemingly have all of this time to explain their shit mid battle, the reader still wants to know what's going on or why.
Kenpachi is an obvious directly opposing idea to this, as he can just about do anything he fucking wants and be awesome, "explained" or not.
You can honestly say that you could have understood that Kira was tricking your senses into believing you were drowning in water or being set on fire by manipulating your hearing synapses without any dialogue? All this caused by a troupe of marching & dancing mummy-like minions. Come on now, lol.
