Though I hate plot devices this is one of those cases that I think Kubo can get away with it and should be credited for.
Remember Zabimarou's character? A monkey with a snake tail with a "split personality disorder". The monkey was perfectly loyal, the snake would belittle and insult Renji all the time. I know it doesn't sound like much of an excuse for this powerup but I'm a sucker for these little subtleties and in the context of Bleach I think it woks for the best. Hope Kubo will keep this up and won't push Renji away from the spotlight yet again.
honestly i think it was necessary cause renji's original bankai is just dumb.
its even worse then komamura's bankai. big weapons like that don't have shit for speed, and power doesn't mean anything if you can't hit your target.
this bankai is sooooooo! much better then his original
Dangai Joue was extremely fast though? Also Komamura came from the Animal Realm to the seireitei in just few panels, he even stated how he had a body that's able to react to and outrun explosions. Renji isn't immortal like Komamura but his speed feat was slicing up james casually while "fighting" against Mask, I don't think they need their Bankai to be that fast anymore.
But the most important part of the chapter to me were all those abilities Renji gained from that.
I swear... If Ichigo doesn't have atleast 5 different abilities now.. holy shit, Kubo.
yes Dangai Joue is pretty fast but Tengen Myo was slow as hell. even though his new bankai is alot faster its still not as fast as someone with a normal sized bankai.
also renji was only using his shikai when he cut up james.
renji is plenty fast with shikai but his bankai slows him down quite a bit.
but this new bankai of his is just awesome, it has speed and power.
Renji is now captain level or higher and its about time cause renji is an awesome character
