Regarding that:

When he released his Bankai to fight Edrad, wouldn't his increased power and possibly reiatsu give the SS a hint about something being off with Ikkaku? I mean, members of the SRDI was probably the only ones who possibly watched the fights in Karakura Town by surveillance, so the secret would probably be kept a secret by Mayuri, but still.
