Judging by that comment it seems ichigo is now way weaker than he was previously. :| Kinda its like Spiritual Power and Spiritual Pressure. His old Zanpokuto power was Spiritual Power and what he used was Spiritual Pressure. His new Zanpokuto is Spiritual Power that he can use all at once. So he has "weaker" potential but has full use of it.
