It would be too big of a power jump really.You are talking about a shinigami who while has a shikai doesn't know its name and abilities and had no relation to it to suddenly not only learning his shikai name, but also materializing his zan spirit and subjugate it to learning its full or partial bankai name and form and then coming out to the SS-Vanderich field spell and equally fighting one of the more powerful stern ritter without a scratch or fatigue shown before the Stern V fight. That is one heck of a time distortion in muken, and a fast recovery time for kenpaichi, unless his shikai now heals him(which would ruin his character as he dislikes kido types), it is too much of a jump. Now if he did royal guard training, like rukia and co(Rukia at least knew her shikai name and some of its abilities beforehand). Besides he doesn't need bankai and it would feel rushed.
