I'm honestly not thrilled about Kagura taking a back seat for this. It should be Kagura's character arc coming to a peak here along with Kamui's, and just having her stand there is a disservice to how awesome she usually is. Where's the Kagura in 577!! I know that Gin has his MC privileges and solving other people's problems is kind of his thing, but I honestly believe this shouldn't be his fight to fight.
I can understand where you're coming from, but honestly I think this is right. Kagura had her try in SA where she failed against him, and right now Kamui is even stronger than he was when they fought, so she'd lose again.
Sorachi can make any character win any fight if it's convenient for the story, come on. It's all about the circumstances. Look at chapter 577, she had him. He's a mess right now anyway.
Sorachi put this in for a reason, and I believe one reason is to address the Kagura issue: it's not her fight, sure she could probably equal/best Kamui in rage mode, but she doesn't want to kill him, she wants to save him, for him to go back to how he once was. That's why, imo, her being in standby is the right choice.
It's not necessarily about the physical fight though is it? Winning a fight against him wouldn't win him over. I meant it should be her problem to solve. If Gin is the one to change Kamui's mind than that would be his accomplishment and she would have accomplished nothing. What's happening right now is very important to her and to her character and it's been building up for a long while. It would be a cop out to not have her participate.
