Yea there is alot of inconsistencies in how the techniques and abilities are handled. In some cases they are effective as they should be and in others they don't seem to work correctly. I figure if your going to downplay the damage done then don't use a technique known to cause alot of damage in the story. Ichigo should have been just as damaged as Renji was probably more so seeing he is a newbie and Renji is a trained solider.
