So? If Juhabach is able to steal Yamamoto's Bankai with that stupid medallion, it's going to make him more powerful. Just because the old man's pissed doesn't mean he shouldn't think before acting.
Originally posted by Nemesis Xthey have a past, so Yama probably knows he can't win using only his shikai; that, and he likely knows that the bankai stealing won't work on him.
He was already hurting Juhabach with just his shikai. Why does he need to be more overkill than he already is and possibly lose his Bankai in the process?
For all we know Yamamoto might have taken a medallion — which wouldn't be hard for him to attain — to Kurotsuchi and through testing found out that it didn't work on Yamamoto's bankai. Kurotsuchi might still try to figure out the details of why, but Yamamoto got all the information he needs.
Or maybe Yamamoto's bankai is a suicide technique or at the very least a double-edged sword that weakens the user if used inappropriately.
I'm not saying that it has to be the case, but there are tons of reasonable explanations I'm inclined to believe before: Yamamoto's Alzheimer's got to him. or Yamamoto is stupid.
I'd honestly be surprised if Yamamoto got his bankai stolen and his ass whopped in the next chapter.
Anyway, since we got an interesting number I decided to proofread by checking the raw, and there was one key mistake.
Spoiler:
一千五百万度 (pronounced: ichi sen go hyaku man do) which translates to 15 million, and not 1.5 million.
Overall a neat chapter I suppose.
