Ginjou got what he wanted, he still stole Ichigo's fullbring. He just thought that in the process he had stealed the totality of Ichigo's reiatsu which wasn't the case.
Yeah, so well done Kubo: the point of this whole arc was Ichigo getting his power back; a bunch of new charas come in, some for the sake of him doing so, some against it, he starts learning how to use this new fullbring thing, things start getting bad, it was all a clever (?) plan in order to deceive him and ...then we find that all of this was useless, because it takes no time to Ichigo's SS friends to revive a much stronger power in him!
... doesn't sound a well thought plot for this arc, nono .... too many unnecessary parts ... at least that's what it makes ME think: "if all of this arc was going to be so pointless, wouldn't it have been better if Kubo had just cutted it all off, making the SS friends' party come at the very beginning, giving back powers, and ending it all, right then, ready for the next arc?"

Ichigo is the strongest man that was ever part of the Gotei 13 even if he had a substitute post.
Mh, not quite sure about that ... he's a strong one at it ... but the strongest .......
Granpa wasn't half bad ... Nor was it cpt Tubercolosi or cpt Grab-ass (sorry, I just know their names from that "know your gotei 13" gif .... too many of them =S )
And we do not know anything about daddy's (and Urahara's?) real power yet ...
If he can't use the form he used against Aizen, well sure he's not the strongest.
And if he can, why make it so tragic when he did use it losing his power?
Kubo, you still don't convince me ...

Also, SS look like it is reproaching Ichigo something, probably linked with Ichigo wanting to rely on hollow based power (aka fullbring).
My guess is that Byakuya and co came on their own free time now and aren't on a job for SS.
That's not the point, whether they are working on behalf of SS or not: why would they be interested in reviving Ichigo's Reiatsu? As I've said above, I just don't think all of them need his power so bad ... and again, if they wanted to save their buddy Ichigo they could have beaten the bad guys for him in the first place ... again no need for reiatsu transfusions!
As Hypno girl suggested I'm not criticizing this chap, which was way batter than any of the last ones. I'm criticizing Kubo's ability to develop plots.
