My honest belief is that Ichigo is the strongest shinigami currently in Bleach-verse, that seems to be strongly implied considering that he broke through a pocket dimension which Rukia thought was impossible for a single captain to break through, he also simply broke out of a technique designed to seal bankais with little effort, hell, before even his current power boost he was pointed to have twice the power of a captain and was dealing with Tsukishima in his FullBring form, the same Tsukishima who was dueling a high captain lvl opponent like Byakuya without backing down. Even new shikai Ichigo made the FB Ichigo dueling Tsukishima seem like trash going by the manga, and his ken'atsu seemed to be AT LEAST comparable to what FH2 Ichigo showed just before fighting Ulquiorra, going by feats and hype current Ichigos power seems to be huge, the VandenReich using the fact that Ichigo is too busy as an opportunity to attack also seems to point to this.
