Pretty sure he cant use his zanpakuto again. He has gained some nasty ass powers, but i doubt he can take any shinigami in a one-on-one. We still dont fully know the combat capabilities of the royal guard, not to mention Ichigo has "quincy" powers now. Anyway, hes not the strongest shinigami, hell, i dont even think hes a shinigami anymore, hes a borderline abomination. And it wouldnt be 1 on 1 apparently the hogyoku has a mind of its own, so its kind of 2 on 1. I like how you used living shinigami, probably in reference to the late Yamamoto, who obviously had ridiculous over-poweredness, and besides, Yamamoto always said, in 1000years there hasnt been a shinigami born stronger than him, well, who was stronger than him 1000 years ago? They could still be hanging around, im hinting at Oshó or whoever, in all fairness.
