His inner spirits merged during his fight with Tensa Zangetsu which in my mind reunited his power as it was meant to be. They actually said they were both his power. We know Ichigo always gains strength and power when he fights and especially when he loses. Tensa Zangetsu kicked his butt and only when Ichigo understood and accepted him did he 'win' the fight. When he exited the Dangai he was still in his bankai release state but NOT in his FGT state. He was only able to unleash mugetsu and weaken Aizen enough to end the fight once he transformed and became Getsuga. THAT is the Final Getsuga Tenshou and that was his final power up. Now that he has his true zanpakuto and he understands and accepts himself I think he can now reach his true potential which in my opinion should be similar to post-Dangai Ichigo, prior to becoming Getsuga. It's also why I don't see mugestu as being added to his regular attack repertoire.
