anybody ever think that Ichigo never needed to loose his powers?? I mean im not saying the story did not make sense because he did or that it was unrealistic. I mean technically he did to save his town but what i mean is that even if he lost that day Aizen would have deff been defeated. The 0 squad would have beaten him for sure. Aizen had his hands fool with yoruichi, ichigos dad and urahara so think about if he had 5 people, one of which was beating this arcs current villain. They would have spanked him and then kisuke spell would have activated and Aizen would have still failed in his ultimate plan which was to become god. I mean if he still had his zompakto but clearly he did not.
