Indeed, Ichigo has gotten strong, but his performance on recent chapters (with the exception on the brief fight with Yammy) did not reflect on that strength. (never gonna get over 388) And we have to remember that Gin is a child genius. We don't know exactly when he mastered Bankai, but his battle stats are all balanced, so he is supposed to be above the power media (yes, Byakuya did need Bankai to fight Ichigo, but Ichigo was on his Bankai bluff moment, so power levels are really irregular)

I'm putting my hopes on next week, since it'll be 400, though this "hoping next week will solve all the crap that's been happenning the last x months" is getting pretty tiring.
