I was thinking of the manga the anime is ok but has inaccatles in it.

Could be only 3 i know the 1st time we saw his bankai it was 3 but i could have swoar during his fight with #3 epsade it was 4 in the manga idk didn't brother looking it up.

Maybe the ice lotus mean something else now that his bankai is complete.
