This episode really does a great job displaying Ichigo’s wrath. From the cold anger he was feeling after his talk with Byakuya to this where his Spiritual Pressure goes through the roof.

Unfortunately it was not enough. Normal Yhwach is stronger than raging Bankai Ichigo.

[@ricremricrem2221]

@@TheBigExclusive remember this isn't a full power Ichigo, the guy had just exhausted his spiritual pressure trying to get out of the jail and took a bunch of damage from his own attacks. He was probably dead tired by the time he fought Yhwach yet at this point Ichigo could have probably ran through all the Sterns on EZ except for Hashwalth.
