Maybe if Ichigo would actually learn some swordsmanship it'd help. That'd actually be a reasonable "power-up" too.
Yeah, because Ichigo has got this far just by randomly waving his sword around with no skill whatsoever... ¬_¬ For the most part, yeah. You don't have to know how to use a sword to be able to kill people with it, but to actually use it properly would probably be beneficial. Essentially, Ichigo needs to use two hands. <_<

Just because he doesn't use a specific style, doesn't mean he has no skill. And actually he uses two hands a lot when he's not in Bankai, but his Bankai is mostly about speed, not power. Using two hands would just add some power to his swing, which isn't suited to his fighting style.
Kenpachi on the other hand relies mostly on sheer power, which explains why using two hands benefited him so much.
Anyway, as Raizor said, skill alone won't do Ichigo much good at this stage in the fight.

Too late now...what with his chest being blown out an' all.
That's a minor inconvenience in a series where somebody can revive the dead. And where the dead do most of the fighting <_<

The two hands thing was a metaphor, so to speak.

Even so, the fact that Ichigo doesn't use a specific style doesn't mean he has no skill with a sword. Let's not forget he was able to beat (or at least draw against depending on how you judge it) both Byakuya and Kenpachi, who are both skilled swordsmen. Ichigo has skill in pretty much the same way that Kenpachi has skill, except that Kenpachi knows "proper" sword techniques and just chooses not to use them if he can avoid it.

Tite Kubo should get to work on The Misadventures of Grimmjow, Kenpachi, and Ichimaru IMO.

More like we need a Kenpachi and Ichimaru Take Driving Lessons episode.

Pssh. It should be about them humorously killing Hitsugaya a lot.

Hmm...
I wonder when they'll get back to him vs Hanabel. Hitsugaya could hardly beat the old number 6 Espada Luppi. No way he could beat number 3...

Was Hitsugaya going all-out against Luppi, or were his powers being surpressed? I can't remember... Anyway, seeing as Ulquiorra is proving this difficult to kill, I doubt any of the captains (except Yamamoto) would be capable of killing any of the top 3 Espada by themselves. Shunsui and Ukitake would probably have the best chance, so they'll probably end up double-teaming Stark, but I don't know about the others. A timely entrance by the Vizard and/or Kisuke, Yoruichi & Tessai and/or Ichigo & Uryu's dads, perhaps?

I wonder if Ulquiorra is still rank number 4 even though he is the only Espada that can go into the second stage. He did say that even Aisen hasn't seen that form of him...makes me wonder how strong numbers 1-3 are. Hmm...those guys showing up does seem likely.
