I know right?! Catching up on my manga/anime after a half-year+ hiatus, there's seriously just no concept of relative power levels or consistent power disparities at all. just looking for the next way to leave the audience with some cliffhanger, movie-trailer ending or what have you >_>

The real problem is that we still read this crap. Probably childhood nostalgia.

Yeah pretty much ;__;
Basically just hoping that he can bring an end to the series that gives us at least some degree of closure >.<
Oh teh blutveins and teh blutartoor1ez! So cool these, oh I already forgot their names. It's all just random cultural gibberish. Random spanish for Chad and the Hollows. Now random nonsensical German for the Quincies. So creative this guy!

By they, you mean the shinigami? They can't use bankai and Ichigo can. The reason hasn't been explained, but there's a lot of attention drawn to this fact so it seems to be an important plot point.
Bleach overall has weird inconsistent power levels, but I don't see how this is the case in this particular chapter
I wanna see Ichigo's friends fight. THEN we can truly rejoice over consistency
Maybe a visard bankai cannot be absorbed. Quincies prepared for 1000 years to fight against shinigami's, not against hybrids. Maybe Shinji and th rest of his crew can use bankai as well. And well... Ichigo is pretty strong right now after he got powers from all of SS captains.
No, I mean Ichigo was having his ass handed to him by the Quincy guy, can't touch him, has difficulties parrying... scene change to SS, change back to Hueco Mundo, Ichigo is destroying the Quincy, beating him in both parrying, dodging, sheer speed and strength. We didn't see anything happen that could have explained the sudden change.

The need for Urahara to give a dramatic look and say "They're about even. No, Ichigo is pressing him." ?
Never let facts get in the way of a good story. Or logic. Or consistency. Or anything else. Just "cool" factor. That's all a boy needs.
Btw, when was it said the Quincy trained for 1000 years? o_0. I thought the extermination of Quincies was just a generation or two ago. That's why Ishida's dad is a Quincy etc and still has his powers etc etc. Didn't think it was that long ago, was it?

Shhhh. Training for one thousand years is over nine thousand cool factor points

No, he will accidentally figure out how to use his Bankai and then get it stolen right after he defeats someone with it. I'm sure stealing the Bankai also does something to their swords? As isn't the Bankai a super release of the spirit inside their sword would be odd for the Bankai to be there and the regular release to be still in the sword. But then what do I know this manga doesn't make sense.
Seriously though I thought Kenpachi would learn how to use bankai by the end of the manga, but unsure if it will happen. The bankai stealing does seem like an excuse for Ichigo's friends to finally be useful again which hasn't happened since SS arc. Every other arc they just get owned.
hey yeah, where is Kenpachi?
shouldn't he be laughing while 1v10-ing them and jingling his hair-bells since hes the hulk and doesnt even need to use bankai at all?
Maybe Kenpachi has an horrible secret and he's using his bankai since the beginning of the manga, and no one noticed it. Well, probably just another plot hole instead.
