Plus when I think about it, I already just had to level up hikifune and csb byakuya...I'm not in no mood to be levelling up a new partner from level 1 too :/ Its so annoying
tbh with u i feel like ichibei is useless right now. this is his first form, wait for his shikai or bankai form if i was in your position. sure he is tanky as fuck, but what does that matter when bankai rukia? stun skill? the thing is, he is slow as FUCK
