In other words, Ichigo tried to defeat Aizen with more power. How would that stop Aizen from regenerating anyway? He took an incredible self-defeating risk, which he before didn't have to take at all by using the Final Getsuga and losing all of his powers. Aizen did not force him to use it at all by the looks of it. Ichigo only made him regenerate ONCE on his shoulder in an phenomenally short final fight and you say he took that as full proof evidence he couldn't defeat a self regenerating psycho ant? Not using a technique that completely owns himself and waiting for another opportunity at least one or two episodes would've been much more logical (like Urahara appearing?) BEFORE he decided to fuck himself for no reason, even if it wouldn't have done anything. By the way, Urahara could've just called Ichigo on his iPhone and told him he kinda had a plan or something. That way it would've looked much more plausible. This was just a complete fuck up in writing by Kubo and nothing less.
