I used to watch and read Bleach before, but I stopped following the series
after the defeat of Aizen.

Urahara's Bankai is a mystery to me, and since I'm no longer updated, I don't
know if there's more to tell on Urahara's abilities.

Has there been an update on what we know about Urahara since Aizen's defeat?

Was Urahara's Bankai ever revealed or hinted at?


As of yet, Urahara's Bankai has never been revealed. We know that he is
capable of it, but he has never actually used it on-panel.

Back when Ichigo was still working to attain his Bankai (Chapter 132),
Yoruichi informed Ichigo that Urahara gained his Bankai using the same
training method, and did it in three days.

Later (Chapter 224) Sado comes to him for training. Urahara tells Sado that he
needs to train against a Bankai in order to improve. He then assigns Sado to
train with Renji, saying that his own Bankai was not suitable for training.
This implies that his Bankai is either absurdly lethal, or may not be a
combat-focused weapon (like how Unohana's Shikai is a flying ray medevac
thing).

In chapter 664, Urahara was finally forced to use his Bankai. This happens on
the final page of the chapter.

It summons a giant person:

In Chapter 665,

As can be seen in the above picture where his eyes are being stitched up,
Urahara is also able to utilize this ability on himself to heal wounds.
Considering the ability of his Bankai, it's easy to understand why he didn't
use it to train Chad when Chad needed to fight against a Bankai.
