True. Byakuya did shine some light not only on Zaraki but also Ichigo.

We now know that assuming that Ichigo is in his Shikai state might be, and has I see it, will be shown to be wrong. Because also as I see it, if Ichigo is already in Shikai then it doesn't make any sense at all. Not seeing what he is and what he should be able to do.

Also Nozarashi ability seems to not be absolute. After all he was able to cut Gremmy meteor like it was nothing, but when it came to Gerard sword. He was only able to chippe it a little and worst Zaraki himself seemed to be cut in half around the waist line.
