@Salubri, that is a good point. He hasn't actually killed anyone aside from the movies. But if you also think about it, his first few fights were with the Shinigami: Renji, Kenpachi and Byakuya. His first villain that he faced was Aizen for a short while when he was almost cut in half, then Kariya during the Bount arc, Amagai during his arc and then Grimmjow and Ulquiorra during the Arrancar arc. But he didn't kill Grimmjow, and he was possessed during the fight with Ulqiorra.

In my mind, Ichigo vs Byakuya was probably Ichigo's best fight because he had resolve and determination, and it was an even match. The fight with Grimmjow is a close second. The only problem I have with Ichigo vs any Espada is how far outclassed Ichigo was when fighting them. He had to be in Bankai and have a mask to even be close to their league. And even then he had a hard time beating them.

Before Ichigo gained his mask and he fought Grimmjow, the way Grimmjow just owned him even while in Bankai showed me how unprepared and unskilled he really is, considering the rest of the G13 took on their respective oppopents without the extra power boosts of masks. Just Bankai. And in the case with Shunsui, just Shikai ( He's so badass! )

But now I'm just ranting. Frustrated with how things seem to be stalling just to give Ichigo the opportunity to show up at the last minute. I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't want to see RKT or anyone be destroyed, but right now I don't see why Aizen is just walking around. His plan was to make the key. To make the key he needs to collect enough souls in RKT. Aizen gets there. And now he's just walking around and talking. It's like 59 minutes will pass and Aizen will look at his watch and say "I should probably try and make this key.... Oh, Ichigo, you're here already?"
