Yeah, and Bankai Ichigo previously blew away Byakuya's bankai with ease. I'm saying that the power scaling here doesn't make sense. According to what you're saying, Ichigo was one of the weakest characters in the series, and that DIRECTLY contradicts what Unohana said about him being 3 times stronger than an average captain, when Hitsugaya is around average captain level. That should have made Ichigo in bankai alone able to thrash Halibel. Yet he got rofl-stomped by Muricelago.

Though Ichigo always had the Im Ichigo I have to win card.
Imo thats why he beat Grimmjow, Byakuya, Kenpachi.
Not cause he was stronger but simply the main hero has to win.
Kinda like how Goku did it in Gt all the time.
Well GT is universally acknowledged as the inconsistent trash it is.
Bleach should be held to a higher standard. Hell, any anime should be held to a higher standard than GT.
But yeah, you're right. Although I think Ulquiorra was still stronger than any other espada. Idk, none of it makes sense tbh.
