So, the fansubs for the latest Bleach movie are out. Probably have been for a bit, since I'm watching it on imeem right now. Any thoughts, anyone? It seems to me that they're downplaying the power levels. At oe point, Ichigo goes down and passes out after getting stabbed through the stomach after pulling out his bankai. Compare to his fight with Kenpachi where the two of them inflict multiple mortal wounds to each other (including a slice across the chest that should have hit the heart), or his last fight with Grimmjow where he took multiple skyscraper-blasting darts to the back with little damage. There wasn't even the massive cloud-explosion that tends to accompany the massively powerful attacks, either.
Not to mention Ukitake being held off by what amounted to a member of the Colorful Mook Squad. Granted, he was almost certainly sealed down to 1/5th power because of entering the real world, but he's still one of the most powerful Captains in Soul Society.
Also, apparently a deadline of an hour to get to the Real World, enter the alternate dimension, rescue Senna, and get out was supposed to be something meaningful to the Captains, as it was the excuse Yamamoto refused giving Ichigo backup. You know, despite the fact they're fast enough to fight battles in split seconds and run faster than the speed of sound.
