predictions on what Shunsui's bankai will be?

Shunsui's bankai will be a giant game of Scramble.

Exactly. And if a player scores more than 5 points in a move, Bill Cosby will sexually assault another woman.

Naw, it'll be Hide and seek or Hop scotch.

I vote hide and seek ngl.

I vote Poncho.

i'm gonna guess it's the blind man game.

for those unfamiliar, it's basically marco polo, but not in the water.

maybe the surrounding area goes dark and Shunsui becomes "it" and has to tag (or touch) his opponent to win... and the game doesn't end until everyone in the area is tagged, explaining why he didn't want anyone else around when he released it, because he'd have no choice but to touch them.

I found Coyote Stark's Hat.

Changing my bet to this tbh.

Shunsui's Bankai is ridiculous.

Yeah it is dumb.

So Kyoraku's bankai turns him into Hidan?

How so?

Seems like it is just more reality manip but just more powerful than his Shikai.

All damage inflicted on him is inflicted on his opponent while in the range of his technique. Sounds like Hidan to me.

These special abilities seem to get increasingly metaphorical.

That's it. Those are the words I was looking for to describe what is happening. 👆

And to make it worse, it's not even a clear metaphor. They're based on kid's games... in some abstract way... and the original games aren't explained too well or are made up.

I mean, let's face it, his latest shikai power? It's based on a *Shinigami game* using reiatsu to make false images. That's not nearly as in-theme as "Call a color, hit a color" like the first time he used shikai.

With his bankai? I don't even know. He's probably going to call his game at the end of the curbstomping. Dunno what kid games are 'you get hurt, drown, and die,' that seems not-very-game-like in my experience.
