None of it was that bad. Everyone knew Gerard would survive, that's basically a given for the Elite ritters. 

 

Kenpachi exerting too much power in that form is entirely reasonable given he's only just gotten Bankai. Hell, he only just got Shikai. Think back to Ichigo vs Byakuya, or Byakuya Renji. The latter talked about control required to wield bankai, and the second had Ichigo almost killing himself with his Bankai's spiritual pressure. So Kenny exerting too much power and injuring himself is not a cop out as such.

 

Now Hitsugya growing up when his flowers break is less of an asspull as it seems. Toshiro has never actually stated that all the petals shattering means his bankai runs out. Iirc it was Shawlong who made that assumption and Hitsugaya never commented upon it. It makes him always going Bankai immediately make more sense because of this essentially 'seal' being lifted. 

 

Additionally, Hitsugaya has not had a real chance to show off his post Aizen training. He has fought a Fullbringer (LoL), lost his bankai once, absolutely creamed Cang Du with it back, whilst heavily wounded, and then creamed Ikkaku and Yumichica, and Mayuri as a Zombie. So him having a power-up this arc is fine, because he technically hasn't had one. 

 

 

 

 

The chapter did feel short as funk though.

[spoiler Barfs even more]

Regarding Hitsugaya which "IS" what makes this chapter so bad. Refer back to his fight with Tie.

Don't count on it, remember Lille survived a lot worse

 

Fight Length in terms of chapters. 

 

Lille, Pernada and Askin all had like 7-9 chapters in there fights. Gerard is at 10. 

 

It's pretty likely this or the next chapter will be the end unless he wants to stretch it for no reason to bring in like Shinja's Bankai or something? Which would be a waste since we have had new techniques from 7 characters, including a new Bankai, and a new final form for Toshiro. And Byakuya even used Senkei for like the 3rd time ever. 

 

It's a good place to wrap things up.

I think it's too early for the final battle. Ichigo needs another powerup, if not a training montage.

Which bums me out, because we don't even have a proper sense of scale for how Ichigo's power changed. This is his first fight since getting new shikai/bankai and we're not getting a sense of growth/weakening or any sort of change because it's just being curbstomped.
