@WhiteArmor and Anomoly-64 About the Itto Kaso spell, I agree with White. He doesn't have to sacrfice his life, but instead what if he sacrificed his arm? If you recall, his arm was the one that was used as the catalyst for the spell not his body. If it was his body, then it'd be safe to assume that he'd be dead, but that's not the case. It was just his arm. And about his Bankai, yeah we definitely won't be seeing his anytime soon or anyone else that's important either (i.e. Kyoraku, Jushiro, Unohana, etc.).
