Well, ok, so I'd find this one damn useful...

Telophase's Zanpakutō: (Fourth Division Irregulars) Your zanpakuto is an uncool, jealous harpoon whose blade is nonexistent named Panhandling Anteater from Syracuse. When you cry "It Was All a Misunderstanding, Officer, I Swear!" it stops your opponent from making a Dramatic Speech. What's Your Zanpakutō?

What! That's a useful power.

Mind you, if you've got an opponent who's on the ball, they could probably drop you before you finished invoking shikai with "Panhandling Anteater from Syracuse, It Was All a Misunderstanding, Officer, I Swear!"

But then it's a given that everyone in Bleach waits paitently for you to wind up your big speech with "It ends! Now!" before laughing maniacally and then attacking, it's probably a non-issue.

Hey, Ichigo interuppted Ishida that one time! (Wait, no, he let him finish his speech, then told him how much he didn't care.) Considering KT's sense of humor, I wouldn't be surprised if someone's Dramatic Speech got cut off at some point.

I agree. Stopping your opponent from making a dramatic speech will actually affect their morale negatively and yours positively, to say nothing of speeding things up. BTW, what does it do, yell "Mondo muyo!" and drag you into battle?

Very useful power! I guess the time it takes to use it, is outweighed by the lcak of episodes your battles will last XD

That would be a great weapon against Soul Reapers. They're helpless if they can't gas on about how great and powerful they are.
