What I am getting from the "anti-fullbring clan" is that there's really no use for the fullbring since Ichigo can get his powers back by being stabbed. Yes, he was stabbed in chapter 459 by Rukia again. Yes, then he got his sword back. But anyone noticed that the sword is different now? i.e. Zangetsu is different now.
Also, the fullbring training was to awaken the innate shinigami power (reiryoku?). Rmb that Rukia said that Ginjo only stole the 'top layer of Ichigo's power' in Chapter 460.
Lastly, it has always been Urahara's style to wait for the "something" to happen before taking action, yes?
1. Ichigo is still using Getsuga Tenshou, apart from a few X's on his body, it's still the same sword he had at the start of the series. We haven't seen Zangetsu yet.
2. Urahara got Soul Society's permission to create the special Shinigami sword and have the Shinigamis give up some of their reiatsu for Ichigo. If Fullbring had anything to do with it, Rukia wouldn't have waited until after Ginjou stolen part of Ichigo's fullbring and would have prevented him from making a fool out of himself.
3. Urahara had plenty of time, like 17 months since Ichigo lost his powers. In fact, this whole mess could have been avoided altogether, if Ichigo got his powers back much sooner before this whole Fullbring nonsense came along.
