Tbh, I question how the heck this is related to his Shikai. Kubo definitely came up with this just a couple weeks ago.
Not all bankai are related to the shikai. Ask Soi Fon.
And Soifon's Zan relates to instakilling, Shikai is two taps and Bankai is OHKO. So it technically fits the mold.
Bankai is not meant to be a "more powerful version of the weapon" or something. It is meant to be a situational thing.Could you please explain what you mean?
Also just how it does not fit?
His Shikai is about manipulating energy for multitude of different purposes.
Exactly, it manipulates energy, he creates things like shields, nets and beams; so what does that have to do with his Bankai? He tears people up if it makes contact, he can stitch himself up and heal himself, even use it to gain speed and strength boosts. That has nothing to do with energy manipulation.
What I mean is that just because Shikai works in same way does not mean Bankai will - Soifon's shikai is about precision and close range combat. Her bankai is about launching devastating attack from afar. Sure they have same type of power because each sword is themed to a certain theme.
Urahara manipulates. Both in his bankai and shikai form.
His Shikai manipulates and reconstructs his energy for variety of purposes
His bankai manipulates and reconstructs everything including Urahara himself.
