I am assuming Ichigo's very short training didn't have him go through it, for the reason I mentioned, someone who has Bankai can forgo Shikai release commands (in all honesty, how much has he used his Shikai past that fight with Byakuya) Quite a bit, actually. He used it in his Visored training, throughout almost all of his battle with Dordoni (due to not wanting to "waste" his Bankai on non-Espada), a bit during his first battle with Ulquiorra, most of his battle with Kugo, about half of his battle with Quilge, and most recently his entire battle with Candice. Should the one with Candice count, as it is a new Zanpakutō?
