One thing Mister Annoying forgot (?) -
Aizen arc took about 9 years to complete. Fullbring arc is not even 1 year. -.-
Hey Miss Annoying, the Fullbring arc shouldn't last that long. The Aizen arc dragged on way too long. The Fullbring arc is a year, it started at the end of October last year.
Harhhhhh?? Did Kubo come visit you and tell you that the Fullbring Arc SHOULD finish soon?? OR is it that YOU want it to finish soon? Logically speaking, it is still somewhere in the beginning. The shinigamis just made their appearance. Nothing much has been explained yet. There's a reason why Kubo's the mangaka of Bleach and not you.

Argument that GT variations are still the same GT -
Hitsugaya still uses ice both in shikai and bankai. Ryūsenka,Hyōten Hyakkasō and Hyōryū Senbi, for example, all are variations on the usage of 'ice'.
Byakuya's bankai, although complex, is still a variation of the Senbonzakura.
Renji's bankai has the same kind of extension that his shikai has.
Therefore, no matter how complex the bankai is, it is always related to the shikai. It's just that Ichigo's GT variations are more similar to the 'original' one. But like the other shinigami, which variation of GT he uses makes a difference.
If they are the same, it's like saying whichever he uses doesnt make any difference. So why does he need the hollow and bankai, or even go to the extreme of taking up the Final GT form?
Except they know kido, and there are different uses to their attacks.
With Ichigo, it's just charging forward and Getsuga Tenshou enemies over and over again, sometimes with a different form, but still the same attack. There's no clever strategy or anything.
You got to be kidding me. You call this an argument? Then how do you explain Squad 11?? They only specialize in zanpakuto-only combat. That renders your Kido argument invalid, doesnt it? Besides, Hitsuga doesnt use Kido when he attacks either. Neither does Komamura nor Gin, just to name a few.
And I dont know how you define 'clever strategy', but learning to read an opponent's move and thinking of a counter is more than just 'charging forward'. Zangetsu's power is basically a burst of energy forward in a straight line, what we all know as Getsuga Tenshou. In the same way, Gin's zanpakuto power, for example, is also basically extension and contraction at high speed. The difference is how he uses this power. As I have mentioned, if Ichigo was just using Getsuga Tenshou with no strategy or whatsoever when he fights, it would mean that all his wins were just based on plain luck and if that was true, no one would be reading Bleach and Kubo would be out of a job.
