** Using Bankai - For all characters who can use Bankai, it requires building up max spiritual pressure and eats up your SP when in use, leaving both at zero after Bankai ends and disabling giving and receiving team ups and attack/defense supports for the duration of Bankai. In exchange, Bankai significantly boosts all of the user's stats and generally gives some combination of boosting one stat even more (such as Ichigo getting massive additional movement and evasion when in Bankai), summoning an extra unit (such as Komamura's Tenken Myu-oh), and unlocking Bankai-only skills (such as Byakuya's Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi). Most characters with Bankai can mitigate the impractical side of this with a Bankai skill tree that allows them to sustain their Bankai longer, unlock additional Bankai-only techniques, and increase the stat boosts from Bankai. However, one character's Bankai, [[spoiler: the PlayerCharacter's]], has no skill tree to boost its endurance, limiting it to a paltry three turns, but instead of a sizable flat stat boost, they receive a 50% increase to all stats, making it extremely powerful.

In exchange, Bankai significantly boosts all of the user's stats and generally gives some combination of boosting one stat even more more, often by a percentage instead of a flat amount (such as Ichigo getting massive additional movement and as much as doubling his evasion when in Bankai), summoning an extra unit (such as Komamura's Tenken Myu-oh), and unlocking Bankai-only skills (such as Byakuya's Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi).

** Soren Sokatsui - on paper, it's significantly more powerful than the basic Sokatsui (appropriate, since in canon, the spell is a doublecast version of Sokatsui), but it costs twice as much SP for a 25% increase in power, has worse accuracy, and a smaller cone.
* {{BFS}}: In addition to the many very large swords from the base material, several of the new characters have impractically large swords.
** Matsuri has two. First is her Power-type Shikai, which is an enormous sword-lance hybrid with an axe blade on one side and a partically cloth-wrapped handle and an overall length probably a little longer than Ichigo's Zangetsu, though part of that is also due to its very long handle. Second is her Technical-type Shikai, which is a colossal forward-curved cleaver that is fairly normal or only slightly above average in ''length'' but is about six inches from blade to spine at its thinnest point, gets wider towards the tip, has an axe blade on the back, and a large pick at the end, similar to the Uruk-hai swords seen in the ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' movies, except the pick is on the cutting side instead of the spine of the sword.
** Fujimaru's Power-Type Shikai is more or less a very large scimitar with two rings in the back of the blade, a broad knuckle guard, and a tassel attached to the pommel.
** Seigen Suzunami's Zanpakuto, Shinden, is a very long SerratedBladeOfPain that grows wider towards the tip, has uneven serrations on each side, and has two prongs instead of a normal tip, all serving to make it resemble a lightning bolt.

* BoringButPractical:
** Kenpachi Zaraki - he has no Kido or other skills, he can't provide offensive or defensive support, and his low SP leaves him extremely weak to enemy Kido. Furthermore, his Zenkai is just a flat stat boost that's somewhat larger than the normal Bankai flat stat boost with none of the percentage boosts many Bankai users get. However, he has massive base stats, a variety of useful passive abilities, and he boosts Spiritual Pressure gain for all units adjacent to him, which makes him very helpful for building up Spiritual Pressure when you're in Hueco Mundo, where Reishi is much more sparse than in the Human World and the Soul Society.
** Sokatsui and Raikoho - neither spell inflicts status conditions or has a particularly high power rating, but they're large cone area of effect attacks that can't hit allies and can hit large enemies for massive damage.
** Picking Ichigo and Yoruichi for your Hueco Mundo team - neither Ichigo nor Yoruichi are exceptional units, but each of them gives you a special item that permanently increases EXP gain for all characters for the rest of the game and the post-game.
** Making the Technical style choice when you acquire your Shikai, especially for Matsuri (Fujimaru's falls more on the side of awesome due to its flashy animations). It has pretty plain animations and its upgraded follow-up attack is basically another swing of its first attack and it puts her at a TacticalRockPaperScissors disadvantage against both Fuijimaru and Seigan. However, good Technical-type units are much rarer than good Power- and Speed-type units and your main character is pretty much guaranteed to be a powerhouse.
** Flash Step type techniques - they're not terribly powerful in raw damage output, but they can functionally increase the movement range of the unit using them if there is an enemy they can FlashStep through and enemies cannot counterattack like they could a normal attack. Additionally, knowing a Flash Step type technique renders the character with the technique impervious to enemy Flash Step type attacks.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Perhaps the biggest reason for the senior captains' OverratedAndUnderleveled status - they join before the TimeSkip and then leave the party for most of the mid-game and don't get any extra levels in that time. This means that they're quite powerful when they join, but not quite powerful enough to render the Kudo siblings irrelevant for the final battle of the pre-TimeSkip arc, but are well behind the newer captains in the present era.

** In general, the difference in characters' power is greatly reduced in gameplay compared to what the story and the anime indicates, especially when considering captains and other Bankai users, allowing characters like Chad, Yumichika, and Hanataro to keep pace with (or even surpass) the likes of captains like Kyoraku, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Unohana, even though the latter are canonically far more powerful than the former.

** Using Bankai - For all characters who can use Bankai, it requires building up max spiritual pressure and eats up your SP when in use, leaving both at zero after Bankai ends, even if it is ended prematurely, in addition to disabling giving and receiving team ups and attack/defense supports for the duration of Bankai. In exchange, Bankai significantly boosts all of the user's stats and generally gives some combination of boosting one stat even more (such as Ichigo getting massive additional movement and evasion when in Bankai), summoning an extra unit (such as Komamura's Tenken Myu-oh), and unlocking Bankai-only skills (such as Byakuya's Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi). Most characters with Bankai can mitigate the impractical side of this with a Bankai skill tree that allows them to sustain their Bankai longer, unlock additional Bankai-only techniques, and increase the stat boosts from Bankai. However, one character's Bankai, [[spoiler: the PlayerCharacter's]], has no skill tree to boost its endurance, limiting it to a paltry three turns, but instead of a sizable flat stat boost, they receive a 50% increase to all stats, making it extremely powerful.
