Aleh, I was refering to the 11th in particular... You have to be top of the heap of the combat freaks. Combat freaks with centuries or millenia of practice. Political appointments for the 11th won't work and the vice-captain taking over for the fallen captain would end up a tournament.
For an example just how under powered that Harry is... the only charicter I can think of who has around this 'Harry's' power level is a middle aged man who performs exorcisms as a reality show... that mostly joke charicter is more powerful than Harry. A Bankai is a third stage power up of a soul slayer (physical incarnation of your spiritual power)... Think the power levels of digimon. This Harry needed that much power to break a mirror.
