It wasn't that the facepalm really impressed me; I just found it hilarious, akin to Isshin's "flick."

If anything, Kubo needed a way for Ichigo to get Aizen far away from his friends. Of course, Aizen is a total d-bag, so he wasn't about to comply with his request. So the only logical conclusion was that Ichigo had to move him by force.

That being said, Kubo had to pick the most ridiculous means of doing it possible. But hey, it made me laugh.
