I mean, he didn't defend himself at all cause he didn't expect to be blown up. It's not like he can't do anything at all in the state he is now, all we saw was him laying down, nothing suggested that he's completely beaten, as well as the fact he was taken surprise since he had used his shikai and didn't expect her to just blow him up. He came up against the wrong person. Also like somebody else pointed out, Hinamori is there and can heal so there's nothing to worry about.
BUT, the main reason Shinji was taken down is because this is Komamura's fight, everyone has to fight the one that stole their Bankai, and she had his, so Shinji getting put down like that was only for the purpose of giving Komamura his chance. Shinji will have his own fight with a Quincy later. You should all know that, come on.
Some of you are really dense. Think before you post.
1: So what, she was there for some kind of peace talk? You can expect anything in a fight and Shinji is one of the senior captain in Soul Society. That kind of defense is just unacceptable and a big disappointment for fans. It's just shame that he lost to someone like that. Not to mention, He was out cold, Komomura saved his life.
2: Why he was included in the first place? Komomura reached there first. There was simply no reason for Shinji to become a guinea pig for new quincy move. Kubo could've used Hinamori or some other fodder.
And No. After looking at bleach history of one-shots, not properly using characters and degrading them, everyone knows whose the one dense here. So think before you post.
