I hope to see his new Zanpakutô in action soon too. Maybe some training to test his full power, both in Shikai and Bankai.

I think it was mentioned by someone, and I've noticed that myself, that he was always very quick, maybe too quick, to activate and rely on his Bankai in battle, after achieving it. Ever since he returned to the real world after the whole Aizen thing, and Ulquiorra and Yammy showed up. Maybe now he has gained some attacks in Shikai and got a more powerful Shikai that be can use actively without having to rely on the power of his Bankai like he used to.
