That's what I thought at the beginning of the chapter, something similar to FMA, where the Homunculi can't kill Al and Ed because they're Sacrifices, but then I wonder, why use Bankai "the last resource", then, if he's not supposed to kill him? As I said, Gin is supposed to be much more capable than what he showed, I'm most sure that he should be able to fight on par with Ichigo just on Shikai, that's why this chapter made no sense at all.
