Ichigo has no Bankai, that's why he shouts Bankai when using his powers. His first sword was a pseudo-Bankai, but his Final Arc Tensa Zangetsu is 100% and without a doubt a Bankai. His first sword was still a Zanpakuto though. Don't even try to say otherwise. It is not a resurrection either unless you want to say that the original sword Ichigo had didn't exist. It's just that that Bankai was not his actual Bankai, kind of similar to how Renji's spirit withheld its true name from him.
