Well, the only thing I think Bayaka has on Ichigo is experience. Bayaka has known how to use, and praticed his bankai for MANNNY YEARS. At least 10 (from what was said in the past). Where as Ichigo only just reclently got it. Much like how Renji had a strong Bankai but couldnt use it to its full potential yet because he wasnt expereicened (no hate on Renji, dudes a savage).

So how you some said Ichigo havent done alot yet, I think hes limitied in what he KNOWS he can do compared to what he is potentially capable of. Which just, in theory, I believe how hes gonna get stronger from this point on as Bankai is the highest level a shimagami can reach, so from here on he I believe hes just gonna get more expereinced and mayble learn new skills/attacks.

Anyhow, droping all the anayliss and theories and going to the Anime, I really believe some new music would of been good for this part, but I did like how it was played out. Bayaka really didn't believe that Ichigo could release bankai (but after Renji, he shouldn't of been spectical yenno?). I am hopeful for another kenpachi apperance, but I feel that wont be happening =(.

Anyhow I really want to see Hits' vice captains fights ... I mean .. sure shes beautiful, but she has to have SOME strength if shes a Vice Captain. Plus I'm curious on what shiki and bankai look like in all the captains and other guys.

OF THE SAME THING?!
Except that this wasn't just a "fast guy running around a guy with cherry blossoms", but a complete rip-off down to the posing. [img][/img] Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Naruto and Bleach are both animated by the same studio. Would explain things even further if so...
Ehh, way I see it, if you seen a lot of anime, read a lot of Mangas, read comics, watchd different shows .... practically EVERYTHING has been done in some way shape or form. Its hard to be innovative but its great to see different variations.
