[@Blackbeard] What do you mean exactly by no silliness? Between Captain Furry, Charlotte Cuulhorne, Nnoitra's spoon outfit, Butterflaizen (and Aizen's mullet), that one guy whose resureccion looks like a pumpkin, Kyoraku's shikai being 'play children's games', and every other weird piece of character design, there's certainly a lot of seemingly absurd stuff going around in canon.
