Alright, I'm gong to agree with everyone on different points. >.> So here we go!

First things, I have to agree that Shadow is over rating his characters abilities. I have to keep reminding him of his strength in our chats. ^^; Menos are pretty strong stuff, I mean Renji was having trouble believing that Ichigo wounded one. Menos is a lot for someone that is a 5th seat to handle. Remember 5th seat is pretty weak over all. We've just been making our stuff look cool, we aren't that awesome yet.

Second, I really have ask why are you putting Arrancar, even natural born ones up against us? That is something well beyond our capabilities, which like you said is and would be sending help to kill them for us. Personally, I would think it would be more rewarding of us to being doing the finishing of the enemy. Why couldn't it just be something like a Grand Fisher that is really cunning and stuff? It doesn't have to be grand off the bat. My enemy may seem strong and it is and I have Hitsugaya in the wings like you, but he's back up. I made the enemy so that teamwork was require to kill it. Its defeatable by us, we just have to work together, Hitsugaya isn't required, he's just there in case inactivity strikes.

Third, why are we being kidnapped? Hollows have no interest in Shinigami apart from eating them? It seems a little contrary to their nature. I assume that you have a reason for this happening?

Fourth, I'm pretty much fine with most of what Xeim is thinking. The only thing that doesn't sit with me is the arrancar. We are a bunch of mid level seated shinigami. We should be dealing with regular hollows and teaming up on a single menos. I think you should scale back things on the enemies and just leave us with hollows and smarter hollows. That'll be enough work for us as much as Shadow disagrees.

Fifth, Evangel correct about hollows and gillains and stuff. As Hitsugaya said, a Vasto Lorde is stronger than a captain. The average Menos and Gillian are stuff for Vice-Captain and Captains to deal with not officers. We've got no business even thinking about taking on one. We are pretty weak right now. Ikkaku and pretty boy face, are misrepresentations of the actually power ranking of shinigami. Both are probably Vice-Captain strength with Ikkaku possibly being close to Captain with having a bankai. They picked their ranks. We were actually given ours based on our abilities meaning that need to hold true to the reality. Eventually, that will change and our ranks will mean nothing since we'll be having bankais and more than like not be allowed to be Vice-Captains. But first year Gotei 13 shinigami, we are pretty sad in the power department, Shino included regardless of anything you say Shadow. Shino probably the strongest of us, but she's still weak in the grand scheme, get used to it.
