He can finally open that jar of pickles he's had so much trouble with!

But seriously, he's probably above just about everybody in his current form EXCEPT the characters that haven't been introduced yet. I think it'd be weird for Kubo to introduce weaker characters than Ichigo is now...or like some people think, this boost is temporary and may go away after this battle.
