Idk Salub, maybe it is the overall involvement of Ichigo from the start of things when the blade was swung down in the beginning. Ichigo has been the thorn in the side of many people in and outside of the manga, not his fault though... Kubo!! In any event, perhaps the Old man is looking at the overall picture. Say what you want about him, Ichigo fights for what is right all the time. ALL the time. Will put his life on the line for anyone and everyone ALL the time. Use the full extent of his powers without a second thought to fight for good. To top that all off, he's still just a teenager, a kid. Lot of damn pressure man, lots. As for whether he respects rules, then even though we have seen that he will go against SS rules at the drop of a dime, he still respects authority as long as there are not special circumstances invovled such as the kidnapping of Orihime or his sisters or something like this. He is emotional yet resolute on protecting those he holds dear and any other life that deserves the right to live free. It seems to me that the Gotei 13 understood all this when Uruhara came to them. Even though he is not a graduate of the Shinigami Academy there, he is still the biggest asset in the earth realm(sort of MKish huh?). Why not help him regain that power. I however will admit that for the whole of Bleach to build up to Ichi using Mugetsu on Aizen, to last all of three frames in the manga, and for him to be able to stand back up and taunt dude for losing his powers after that attack, well that just sucked! Truly. Still my favorite manga but, that whole situation needed.....MORE. Still, he DID bring Aizen down to earth. So he DID defeat him in one sense. He made him vulnerable to being handled like any criminal. High-powered criminal albeit still, normal. I will agree that Kubo should better prepare to explain the backstories of these people and these particular issues surrounding them. We are his constituents, fans, and followers of HIS manga. His baby. It is the least he could do. Real talk. Get us caught up and leave out the depth of character construction knowing that "inquiring minds want to know...." And who have more inquisitive minds than the inhabitants of the Bleach Universe? Do you know of any?? Who has the best wiki? Real talk. Anyway you brought up some valuable points that deserve response. Maybe he will hook us up......
