@Darth:
I dare you, Rob. I dare you to come up with twenty four entertaining powers based around bows or other ranged weapons.
It. Can't. Be. Done.
Well for starters, a good author wouldn't throw out that many villains intended to be spotlighted in one go to begin with…
But start with the generic earth, fire, wind, water, heart, steel, plant, animal, poison, ice, electricity, light and darkness powers, then you start going with other variants like time, space, music, sexist attraction/seduction, life/death, luck, dragons, and generic energy beam and you have the basics.
From there you can do other stuff like dual wielding bow users, crossbows, crankshaft, giant bows, horse mounted, self bow, laminated, composite, cable-backed, compound, recurve, longbow, flatbow, multishot, wrist-bow... plus there's varieties like tag team, or the two hit kill butterfly marking, or blind archer... or just using it as a blunt object... (And that's before you start pulling out varieties of guns, lances, throwing daggers, boomerangs, and other ranged weapons. Machine gun Quincy and Shotgun Quincy write themselves.)
And thats before you start throwing on stupid things like explosives or boxing gloves as ammo.... or giving every one of them a theme based on an animal or some random culture. Can have a tiger guy, a baboon guy, a rat guy, a dog guy, etc... or an egyptian, mexican, african, a russian, etc. that each play into horrendous stereotypes.
...or the already established quincy powers of homing and reiatsu absorption that in soul society should be great. Throw in the skitsophrenia masks or weapons with souls that USED to be a thing and you've got something good going.
And that's all off the top of my head. Not like Kubo is against reusing... both Rukia and shrimpo have ice powered weapons... and Gin's ability was just "make my sword really long"... Ichigo's is to go fast. Really he could reuse the old shinigami powers and pretty much make a secondary go of any of them.
No one should seriously try to make a 26 member team out the gate with the intention of them all getting one on one fights. Thats just supremely asinine. 7 or 8 is about the upper limit of reasonable.
