If Ura can defeat Yamii like that in the real world where spirit pressure is lower, I wonder how strong ura is in soul society. Ura is definatly my fave char now and Aizen is the a cool bad guy but not as cool as others from other manga's.
Gaining the bankai in 3 days is by no means a measure of power. Granted not everyone can do it... But just because they managed to do this method doesn't automatically make them stronger than some of the other strong captains that took years to get their bankai using the long way...

Just because you used a shortcut to get to your destination doesn't make you any faster than the other person that reached the destination through the long way...
