Oh dear god, did you even listen to what Unohana said to Ichigo (379 if I'm not mistaken?) if Aizen uses his Shikai on Ichigo the world is LOST!!! And do we have to go on with the reasons about why Aizen can't get to the King's realm at the moment? If he does, it means he MUST destroy Karakura, remember? No more Kurosaki clinic, no more Kurosaki FAMILY (as in DEAD), no more Karakura High or Karakura students whatsoever (Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro) I already went over this, it's not conceivable at this point. And remember, it's not the final Bleach, it's just the end of the ARC, that's why we didn't see everyone's Bankai, Kubo is most likely saving them for later. Really, I'm getting tired of saying the same things over and over again.

About Yama-jii, what I meant is that it's unlikely that we see his Bankai for this battle because, for now, his powers are sealed. Of course he'll figure how to release them, it would be utterly stupid to keep him sealed for all eternity.
