Look at Zangetsu, it's Shikai is just plain but it's bankai has everything to do with speed. How does something go for having nothing to do with speed (except for natural speed) to having everything to do with speed. That's not similar. The rule doesn't stand.

When you see Ggio Vega getting hit with Suzumebachi's effect, you see his body rupturing from the inside out as the two Hōmonka marks expand.

As for Zangetsu; Zangetsu's theme is about reaching the target by any means. Getsuga Tenshō is a long range projectile shot from a swing of the sword. Even the cloth on it's hilt allows the sword to be swung like a flail to reach the target from a distance. It's Bankai, Tensa Zangetsu, retains these aspects; such as the chain on the hilt instead of the cloth, and a more powerful Getsuga Tenshō. But it goes further by drastically increasing Ichigo's speed in all areas(not just movement speed but also reaction speed and slashing speed). Speed capable of reaching it's targets.
