@Lia- You've got a point about Shounen manga but usually there's a basis on which the way the protagonist takes on the antagonist, ex: Gohan tapping into his hidden potential to match up to Cell.

But in this case, if SS's greatest Captains, the best of the Vizard and the renegade party (Isshin, Urahara and Co.) failed to even get him down on one knee (I'm discounting Yama here, he was just awesome), how can ONE pseudo Shinigami one year into his Shinigami life (approx) with a Bankai as shaky as his confidence even dream of beating Aizen?? I think Kubo made a mistake with the FGT. If he makes it extremely powerful, as in enough to gain an edge on Aizen, that would be a major mismatch as Ichigo's power level just CANNOT jump like that. However, if he makes it weaker, it's bye bye Ichigo or some pathetic rescue attempt.
