I have been repeating it to death but the main reason why Zaraki (or almost everybody) seems so much stronger than Ichigo is because Ichigo doesn't want to hurt anybody, just like a shounen textbook hero shouldn't. Two equally strong swordsmen fighting have both a 50% chance of winning the bout, but if one of them is willing to kill or seriously hurt the other but the opponent is mortally afraid of cutting the other, you could say the chances are more like 9 to 1 favouring the smart one (who is not Ichigo).Originally Posted by Logrus
Anyway, this was a poor episode until Zaraki appeared. Full of stupid details like not escaping Mayuri's zanpakutou using shunpo and the bloody repetition fights like DE already said. At least Zaraki seems to be all pumped up with all the possible fights just waiting for him.
Maybe we will even see Yachiru fight! There surely should be enough opponents. Since those two were out of town Muramasa shouldn't have stolen her zanpakutou. Although we have never even seen her shikai, have we? I guess we won't be seeing her fight after all.
Edit: Some typo.
