15 Weakest Bankai In All of Bleach

This article contains spoilers for the Bleach manga.
The Bleachanime quickly established swords as the centerpiece of its combat system. These soul-cutting blades called Zanpakuto can be deadly in sealed form, and get even stronger when their true power is released. Shikai is the first stage of release, followed by Bankai, and everyone expects the latter to be the ultimate ace in the hole. Bankai like Senbonzakura Kageyoshi and Ryujin Jakka are marvels of the battlefield, but others fall short.
Bleach fans wouldn't say that any Bankai is weak compared to its Shikai or sealed Zanpakuto, but even so, they can't all be top-tier. Some are relatively modest with their power or are too easy for the enemy to counter or destroy. Other Bankai have the potential to be stronger in the future, but for now, they are young and underdeveloped. These Bankai rank among the series' most unimpressive power releases.
