I agree on almost everything, except for the shadow. I think Ryuuken would have a far better chance, even though neither Tessai nor Ryuuken has really shown off the full extent of their fighting prowess, because the Quincies' signature skill is reiryoku manipulation. Maybe he'll just suck Aizen dry :) wow if you think about it that was a really gross statement 0_0

Also, I think Mizuiro may possibly have been the shadow, even though I wouldn't recognize him from the shape of the shoe. What if Mizuiro, always a good and kind friend to Ichigo, actually is very powerful? It would explain why in the Anime special (I know, not cannon) he immediately tried to befriend Ichigo, maybe because he sensed Ichigo's Spirit Energy leaking out.
