I have a theory I would like to share. So, in the anime we know that Zanpakuto are sealed and in order for the Shinigami to release them they use a certain command. The only two exceptions are Zangetsu and Kenpachi's Zanpakuto. But is that really true? In the manga, we learned that actually Kenpachi had never achieved Shikai before the war. He learned his sword's name and then he could release it using his unique Shikai command. And when he showed the other captains his Shikai, Byakuya said: "So we were wrong to believe that his sword was in constant released state. Rather, the concept of a constant released Zanpakuto never existed to begin with". So I believe that Ichigo has never used his Shikai. He's used his sealed Zanpakuto and his Bankai. And before you say "no way he used Getsuga Tenshou all the time" the only abilities he's ever used is Getsuga Tenshou and Getsuga Jijushou, and we've seen Isshin use Getsuga Tenshou with his sealed Zanpakuto. Also we've seen sealed Zanpakuto that are completely different from katana. So, tell me your opinions!
