Me too, but, lets not forget that Ichigo is still growing rapidly. Saying this, we also haven't seen ALL that HIS ban kai has to offer either..... Him finding out that he is a Shinigami pureblood might be somethng of a booster in terms of confidence and this doesn't bode well for anyone once he truly sets his mind to winning as we have been shown in the past. Once he forms his resolve, he is definitely hard to beat. Fact. Even the most ardent Ichi-hater has to admit this.
