User blog comment:Soulreaper1234/What's up with Ichigo and his BANKAI, is it in constant release?/@comment-1248963-20100915073343

I don't see what you're not understanding. Why go back to his Shikai (which is the normal state of his Zanpakuto, as it is a constant release), if he has done nothing but encounter enemy after enemy ever since fighting Grimmjow? Right after that fight, he was immediately attacked by Nnoitra, and then he rushed to fight Ulquiorra, then left the dome to fight Yammy, then traveled through the Garganta to FKT, and so on. He hasn't stopped fighting for a second, (and again, it has barely been a day, just because it's been two years for us doesn't mean it's been days or weeks or months for Ichigo) and his Shikai has been rendered basically useless at this fighting level, so why go back to it? I really don't see why you're trying to look so hard into it.

And no, we're not giving Ichigo any names, since what he's doing is nothing extraordinary, except for what Byakuya already explained back when he first revealed his Bankai about being able to hold it for longer periods of time due to its small size, which I already explained.
