I agree with that, but other then high speed and his improved Getsuga Tenshou, Ichigo's bankai doesn't really give him any extra advantage as of yet.

Given enough time I'm sure he'll develop more abilities or at least stronger variations of what he has now, unless Tike Kubo chooses to focus on his hollow side though while I'm happy to whichever direction his development is taken, I'd like to see Zangetsu's power expanded upon more. Hollow abilities are not all that different among individuals while a Zanpaktou is unique to the shinigami.
