[Discussion] Kisuke's bankai...

[BlacLord™]

"観音開紅姫改メ" ("The Crimson Princess of the Doors of Avalokitesvara's Inquisition")

Hmm... Avalokitesvara is a Bodhisattva, but known for embodying compassion and helping to release beings from the cycle of suffering (Samsara). Doesn't sound exactly offensive but there is one possibility.

1) His bankai is offensive, relating to Bato Kannon, otherwise known as Avalo's wrathful form.
2) His bankai is "purifying", relating to Juntei Kannon, otherwise known as the one with multiple arms. Could also expect something offensive with arms.
3) His bankai secures a win by stopping Urahara from being able to suffer, relating to Avalo's "normal" form.


But this is Urahara so anything could happen, which reminds me...

I don't like this.

Kubo actually played his card right for once, someone could come up with a theory regarding one of his characters.

OT: I can see the 3rd option happening

 

[Gerkak]

Interesting, we will see.

 

[Umari Senju]

Why not all 3. Kuryaku's Bankai had 3 Stanzas and Geneyusai's had 4 stages. I can see all 3 being a possibility

I doubt it's just strait offence. When he was first hinting to it, to Renji and Chad, he said it wasn't something suited to training. I guess it's either so powerful that Urahara couldn't hold back enough for Chad to survive, (Unlikely, as that would be too easy, and i doubt it would work on Askin in that case), or it revolves around reducing, stealing, or nullifying the powers of others. That's not something you can fight with punching, and it would actually make sense if it beat Askin.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Doesn't matter what his bankai's power are, we all know that there is this bullshit pattern revolving in this manga so we will have askin's second form too to tackle urahara's bankai and so this fight drags 5 more chapters.

 

[Mudballman]

I think when he described his banka in past chapters he referred to his banka as "not being good for helping anyone"

That sorta makes me think the whole purification thing isn't so likely, I'd guess more of an offensive sword
