IMO bunkai are fun but overhyped. Choki Motubu was a proponent of being difficult in the red light district. That was his type of thing - people put hands on in a way that would annoyingly limit their own movement, but which Choki found amusing. Break the wrist and walk away, that's all there is to it.

On the other hand, bunkai are useful for decisively ending fights. It's kind of like... Missing the forest but picking all the right trees. You forced certain responses and had miserable answers for each one. That is the ikken hitatsu spirit of kata.
