Given what we've seen so far multiple times in the canon Bleach, when spiritual dudes of different races but the same general class of power (this is a vital factor) duke it out, the performance of a Shinigami w/Shikai is roughly equivalent to an unreleased Arrancar, modern Quincy, etc. When one of them releases a Bankai, Vollstandig, Resurrección or a similar "ultimate release", I think it's pretty obvious that the other combatant either responds with the same or, well, dies.

It's very straightforward, really.

Anyway, to reiterate, I'm just looking forward to Touru wiping the floor with Naoko and Amala until the two meet their own requirements to release and close the power gap.
