I have removed a couple of examples for the following reasons. I\'m happy to discuss whether any should be readded to the page.

I have removed several examples for the following reasons (rewritten a couple that are still on the page, too). I\\\'m happy to discuss whether any should be readded to the page.

They had assumed the Quincies were sealing Bankai and wanted to observe the sealing process so that they could learn how to counter it. The complaint seems to be about them lacking the precognition to know the assumption to seal is completely wrong. There\\\'s also no such thing as a \\\"conventional bankai\\\", making the complaint a bit strange to understand. I\\\'ve rewritten this to address the idiocy of them not co-ordinating who the sacrificial captains will be. It\\\'s lampshaded in-universe that it was a stupid thing to do, and explains much of the complaints on this page in a more organised way.
* The complaint about Unohana and Kenpachi having a dual to the death when Unohana\\\'s healing and combat skills are needed on the field. Until now, she\\\'s been banned from fighting but it\\\'s never been explained why, so fans can only wonder about that. It\\\'s also stated that Kenpachi only gains his power ups via duals to the death, so it has to be that, or the training won\\\'t work at all. So, the complaint seems to ignore what the story has said about this. Whether the writing of this is any good, is probably a different trope as it would be a complaint about the author\\\'s handling of it, not the characters.
* The complaint that Nanao not teaching the Shinigami the new Kidou barrier she uses against Haschwalth being the reason the Shinigami get defeated again is a troper assumption. The story doesn\\\'t tell us if she ever had time to teach anyone else given that the Shinigami had less than a day to prepare, and Haschwalth, who is unusually reishi-incapable for a Quincy, makes it clear even he can just strip the barrier away by manipulating reishi. As a result, the complaint that Nanao is the reason the Shinigami lose is a big assumption to make that isn\\\'t really borne out by the story events.
* Rose talking about his power which leads to Mask destroying his own eardrums to negate it. That is complaining about someone not having precognition to guess that a person might be insane enough to actively destroy their own eardrums.

* ExplainingYourPowersToYourEnemy is another genre staple. The characters who don\'t do it are rare because of this reason. As a result, singling out one or two characters for repeated, separate entries comes across more as a troper wonk-issue than a legitimate WhatAnIdiot example, given that nearly all the characters are doing it in the genre, not just the one story, yet are not also being singled out for the same.

Deleting without a reason is a no-no, but if that\\\'s their reasoning, it makes sense to me. If it were 1979, he wouldn\\\'t be an example. But he\\\'s grown into one.
