Kidou might not be enough on it's own for most captains, though it will surely help. Though if other captains are as good at it as Bakuya, it might even be enough to kill a Sternritter with it (depending on the abilities of that individual ritter of course).

I wonder if the reinstated visored captains' hollowfication will be of much help against Vandenreich.
