Read my blog. Ichigo wont be advancing the way he should just to beat characters cause he is the main character. Thats not character growth. All that you list as positive for his character are the exact things that dont hold weight for his growth as you mention. Something we wont see, just new unexplained power after another. Even if he lived to be 100 he wouldnt be any different then he is now, understanding and experience are not ichigo strengths. People dont hate ichigo they pity his poor character makeup and development. In truth spamming GT, staying in bankai and overpowering those superior to him with no explanation is the hallmark of Ichigo Kurosaki.

@Captain: actually the Visored or the creation of Urahara. Aizen would have left them to turn into Hollow. Why he caused the source of the transformation the ultimate end was Urahara's intervention.
