How Shinji's shikai effects were portrayed was the highlight of this episode. I liked it far back as well when he activated it against Aizen, but this time it looks so psychedelic. Gotta love it.

he used his Bankai on freaking fodder Quincies

Urahara's plan was quite ingenious. The Shin'eiyaku tablets effectively nullify the Quincy medallions, so even if a Shinigami's Bankai is stolen, it can be returned to them. It was a clever way to level the playing field against the Quincy, who had been using their medallions to great effect. I also enjoyed the parallel that Urahara drew between Bankai and Arrancar's Resurrección. Both are powerful transformations that give the user a significant boost in power, but they also come with a certain amount of risk. If a Shinigami or Arrancar is not careful, they can lose control of their Bankai or Resurrección, and that can be very dangerous. I was expecting more with Shinji's Bankai.. Still, it was effective. Also him messing around with Bambietta was goofy of him lol. Looking forward to Ichigo’s training more, flashes are throwing at him.

What bothered me is that this episode showcased his Shikai way better than it did his Bankai. Like, he used his Bankai on freaking fodder Quincies but his Shikai against an actual Stern Ritter. Sure this goes back to what I said about his Bankai being the worst one in the franchise since it wouldn't have worked against Bambietta anyway, but the sequence of events in this episode makes the whole thing feel way more awkward than it should've been.

The way they did Shinji's Bankai, the music, absolutely mind blowing.

Best episode so far in this second part.
There was no crazy sakuga, but the animation was fluid enough that the fights were interesting to watch.

Hitsugaya’s fight was fluid enough and we get to see he getting his bankai back again, it was pretty good.

Soi fon bankai was also pretty and it looked great.

Now I don’t remember when was the last time a bankai reveal was as lack luster as Hirako’s… so many still images, and everything was so fast. They could’ve made him use it against bambietta. Now, Hirako and bambiettas’ exchange was really cool, Hirako’s Shikai never looked so good.

Those eyes on Ichigo at the end… I know where those are from!!

8.7/10 great episode.
