He did show his power during the first arc he was using shikai on gin while gin won't useing his at all really he was just playing around with the lil fella...by what feats those people you named are weaker than hitsugiya? Tosen had his chance to kill zaraki but it's an anime so kenpachi lived...soi fon was giving yourichi a hard time an she never even used bankai...komomaru an his power speak for it self...mayuri is a smart genius hitsugiya won't beat him ether he's to young he's still a kid..lol stop hitsugiya has an never will be equal to Byakuya in power.
they were bout equal just look at the fights they had an how they did in those fights they both fought captians if not for kido renji would have forced his opponent to use bankai... as for hitsugiya he was going all out in shikai but gin was just treating it like it was nothing if hitsugiya ever planed on hitting gin he would have needed bankai just like renji when fighting Byakuya.
Lol yea he fought toe to toe with her his powers countered hers greatly just the right opponent for him to fight physical wise she over powers him with ease an at the end he was worn down an needed to help from to other vizards...an szayel was useing a weird ability witch renji had no counter for plus he already analyzed all of renji power before they fought...the rest of the stuff you talk about is filler but still renji opponent had no chance of beating him once he got his full power back.
When did I say hitsugiya can't keep up with Byakuya movements? Of course he can he's a captain I was just stating renji being a vice captain could follow a captain movements showing us he has improved...I stated that hitsugiya an renji were almost even with hitsugiya being a little bit stronger an yea Byakuya would beat hitsugiya as well if he uses his kido the right way...knowing he can break it apart anytime he wants to he can do that then move.
Recently could have meant 5 years ago or something they do live for along time..an wat you mean he had a lot of spirtual pressure back then where are you getting this from all this info on hitsugiya past life?
Renji shikai stopped Byakuya shikai from activating you do remember that right?..yes ichigo reiatsu was captian level in his shikai form but not a mid high captian level like Byakuya back then..I was saying bankai renji reiatsu was that of shikai ichigo reiatsu witch was captain level so how is renji not captain level?..renji was strong he just could not control his bankai right at the time he did not even use his canon back then..Byakuya still had to resort to kido thoe so he could mess up renji control with the bankai.
1. Again, Gin toyed with FKT Bankai Mask Ichigo + He toyed to Shikai Toshiro, not Bankai, he couldn't show his power, since only fight he used bankai was against Aizen
2. Kira said that Toshiro's reiatsu is different compared to his.
3. Tousen lost to Zaraki with eyepatch, Komamura was foderized by Aizen, just like Toshiro, but fight in FKT show that Toshiro is stronger, same apply to Sui Feng.
Tousen didn't have chance of beating Zaraki, what Komamura done?, how do you know that Toshiro wouldn't keep up with Yoruichi just like Sui Feng? and yes Byakuya is equal to Toshiro.
4. So what, Kido is part of power, Shinigami don't use only Zanpakuto? It just prove that Byakuya with just kido is nearly stronger than Bankai Renji. Also for example Yamamoto with just Hakuda was stronger than Kensei and Urahara's kido is more powerfull than someone's bankai. Kido is part of Shinigami's power just like zanpakuto.
5. Yes and it's still more impresive, than Renji losing to base Szayel. Also Toshiro countered her abilities (Tercera) just like Byakuya countered Zommari's (Seventh, lol forgot how it goes in spanish) and you state that Byakuya is far stronger than Toshiro.
6. From what we saw no one have counter to Szayel's abilities (Mayuri had, but with prep. time), in round 2, Szayel gave him back bankai and even with Uryu, Dondochaka and Pesche he couldn't beat Szayel's basic Ressurection ability.
6. Renji himself said he just surprissed Yylfordt with unlimited release and that it won't be that easy (some transletion say that he would lose) if he had full power from start.
7. Your statament say that Renji is captain level and that Toshiro is weakest, i say he isn't and that Renji's speed is impresive, but yeah he improved.
8. You don't know could he imprison him, like he did it to Renji, they never fough against each other, or they never fough against same opponent, so it's just metter of opinion.
9. I'm glad that you said that. If he had 5 years, it would mean that he had 15 years to finish bankai training and train with bankai.
10. Yes, i remember and also i remember that Renji even activate Bankai before Byakuya activate his shikai and also Byakuya fought without shikai for some time against Bankai Renji.
Yes, it's true, you have point. But i see things like this:
1. VC to be captain level must unreleased have reiatsu level like unreleased captain, at least on par with low captain level
2. VC in shikai must have reiatsu level of shikai captain
3. VC in bankai must have reiatsu level on par with low captain reiatsu in bankai
In simpe words if VC in bankai have bigger reiatsu that unreleased captain it doesn't mean that he is captain level.
