he said it was 500x the speed of soundIchimaru Gin.
His bankai moves at the speed of sound (and calculation wise it is even faster). Plus his bankai can deposite pieces of his sword, and blow the body apart via very destructive poison.
Combining the fact that his bankai is almost like a gun and one that can work like a Wasp Knife... I can't see him losing. Kaname may be have a powerful bankai (his espada form was far weaker IMO), but Gin's ability is fairly adept at countering it due to the fact it's extention/extraction rate is so dang fast!
OH YEAH!he said it was 500x the speed of sound
Bold part..Dumbest thing I've heard..gin won't even cut him.Gins wins pretty easily.. Dat Bankai is OP, if he even needs it. his shikai could be enough for tosen.
Tosen's hollow forms would put him to shame..and he blocked the getsuga tensho with his sword it did not hit him.Gin destroys Tousen. Gin was one of the strongest captain up there. IMO he could have beaten Zaraki pre-Unohana training. That's just how strong he is. He was able to effortlessly fight a bankai powered Ichigo who is one of the fastest characters too. He took a Getsuga to the face and laughed it off. He is an expert swordsman and a genius. Tousen can't handle him
