Hey, Mayuri blew up some no-name shinigami during the SS arc in the name of science...if they would count.

Rescue arc.
Because Ichigo was continuing his growth and development. His rescue of Rukia was mildly romantic. His growth AFTER mastering bankai was so ****in' badass that it ranks in my top 10 "anime/manga" badassery moments. When he took out all the lieutenants with just martial arts like it ain't no thang...soooo...awesome! Then when he stopped the sokyoku like a pimp.
His fight with Kenpachi and Renji were really awesome, too. His growth with his Zanpakuto was great, a well. Then when he was slowly bringing out his hollow form against Kuchiki...that was great.
Plus, his comrades MEANT something. They were strong and badass: taking on ranked officers like they were nothing. Everyone felt powerful. ****, Ishida took on Mayuri and WON! They meant something, then. I am okay with Ichigo getting super strong and powerful but the others should have grown with him. Sure, not as strong as Ichigo, but strong enough to show just as much growth. The power growth was just too steep, imo.

Gin was a good guy. It was only the fact that Aizen was saved by Kubo. Gin defended his position for killing the 3rd seat (right after he graduated): the guy was trash.
