It might make sense if it had been made in a sensible way. The big dude with the metallic doll... He was practically defeated after Kira took care of the doll, and even Ichigo could have beaten him easily enough; if you have a man with a sword and the skills to use it and a man with no weapon, you better bet your money on the man with the sword - no matter how many kenpo movies you have watched with an unarmed man beating those with weapons.

But it was the stupid "he's human too" logic that stopped him. However, even that doesn't explain why Kira didn't take the extra step of sending the man to his grave; after all, the vice-captains had been sent to deal with them. And for crying out loud: They are death gods! What do they do if they can't even kill somebody...
