First of all, hi everybody! 
I'm new around these forums so if I do anything stupid don't fault me too much for it.
Anyway, I've been looking at some of the spoiler discussions around here for a while and there seems to be an awful lot of talk about Hitsugaya's seemingly absurd power growth. A LOT of talk. Like enough to fill several threads with. So, I thought I'd make a little place for you guys to discuss what you thought about these new revelations without crowding up the chapter discussion boards.
So to start off, I'd just like to say that I was originally a fan of Hitsugaya. His personality is pretty similar to mine and I identified with his predicament of being surrounded by utter idiots at all times.
That said, the last few chapters have crossed the line for me in terms of powering up this popular character. (Warning: to those of you who are planning to use the "Bleach has no logic" argument, I agree with you but you need not apply for this discussion)
I've seen both the arguments for and rebuttals against Hitsugaya's apparent lack of power in his former fights and for the most part, I agree with those who say he's a weak captain. I mean really. IIRC he, Renji, and Matsumoto fought Arrancar of similar power, at the same time, under the same circumstances. But whereas Matsumoto escaped with a only few scratches, her captain had to be "rejected" back to life by Orihime. Am I missing something? Isn't a captain supposed to be like 10 times stronger than his vice? Just look at Byakuya and Renji's first appearance. Byakuya clearly out-ranked him. But here, Hitsugaya's fighting on an equal or even lower level than two vice-captains. And you're (kubo) telling me that this kid can keep up with much less take down a top espada? No F***ING WAY. As much as I liked him as a character (less and less now that he's getting arrogant against a FRICKEN ESPADA!!) he just shouldn't be this powerful. And yes, I understand that he's a genius and that he's got the best ice zanpakuto or whatever but this kid was matching a released top level espada with an INCOMPLETE bankai. And now he has a second release?
I would have been fine if he had struggled and nearly died at first, only to power-up and kill her. THAT would have at least shown some development in his character to see him pushed to a new limit. But no, he just pulls trick after trick to escape from her attacks and now he's releasing "powers from the heavens?" WTF?
Anyway...that's my rant. Now let's hear you guy's.
