I think Yoruichi is good enough to warrant her superiority complex, myself. But yeah, it'd be nice to have someone that good without it(on the flipside, there's Soi Fon, who's just as bad but not nearly as good...maybe it comes with the position?)
As far as Nanao/Shunsui, I guess it doesn't bother me because I don't see him responding well to anyone else. He seems to bulldoze over her but doesn't really.
And yeah...I'm extremely closeminded to the idea of Yukimura and any of the 10(though I can't see Yukimura having a healthy romantic relationship at all myself...sadly...) for just that reason.
Have you ever checked out Fullmetal Alchemist? You might be interested in the relationship between Mustang and Hawkeye. While basically the entire fandom (well, the part interested in canon, at least...the rest are the yaoi fans who are into Mustang and the underaged lead-also his subordinate-which is something I avoid thinking about) assumed their interest in each other is romantic, the actual relationship is that of respectful equals, with her often serving as his moral center, but there's no hint whatsoever of coddling or inappropriate interaction, or of his needing to take care of her. In fact, the 2 characters in the series who consistently come across as the most capable and competent and together are Hawkeye and Izumi(the female mentor of the 2 main characters.)
We shall let Yachiro pass as a sweet little darling...besides, it was Kenpachi...the wise do not question him...
