Ichigo could always use his bankai for an endless amount of time despite it being noted that bankai takes alot out of the wielder but it's possible that's only the case because his power was being suppressed by old man zangetsu and in reality he's like everyone else and has to conserve bankai usage Not a direct response to DarkMuse, but rather to all posts about Ichigo not having or having to relearn Bankai - I get where those theories are coming from and the logic behind them. But I think Kenpachi getting Bankai in the current chapters undermines the possibility completely. Tite has just shown that he will do as he pleases regardless of it making sense and he can shoehorn it in any way he wants if he wants it to happen. Whether its bankai or some new neverbeforeseenhybridofallhispowersandforms, he will have it.
