This is the respect thread for Ichigo Kurosaki lets get started
Speed(unlike what many people have claimed, Ichigo has superhuman reflexes in this form, and easily blocks an arrow from ishida to his back with no warning from around 15 meters away( normal arrows average around 105m/s) Therefore Ichigo was able to turn around and block the attack in less than .14285 seconds. Note that the average time it takes an ordinary human to react to something is .5 seonds. So at minimum Ichigo’s reflexes at this state were 3.5 times faster than any human.

Now that is the level of speed he has when he initially begins fighting Renji in the human world and Renji easily beats him, and shows that he also has highly enhanced reflexes.

In this state he’s moving about double what he was before, so that would place his reaction time at .0714seconds.
Ichigo is then speedblitzed by Byakuya who is able to move 15meters, snap ichigo’s sword, and move back, before ichigo can react. Therefore Byakuya moves over 30 meters total in less than .0714 seconds(that is not factoring in time spent stopping and turning around), meaning he would be moving over 420m/sec.

Ichigo’s speed at Shikai:
After several battle’s in soul society, Ichigo is shown to have mastered Shunpo, and is able to keep up with Byakuya in a hand to hand battle. It is important to note that Renki states that in the Human world they were moving at 1/5th their normal speed and power. Therefore in soul society Byakuya is moving at around 2100m/s, and Ichigo is matching his speed.
Renji states that in human world they are limited to 1/5th their power.
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch095-18.png
Keeping up with Byakuya and Byakuya states that Ichigo has mastered shunpo and also states that he’s still going easy. Also note the destruction caused by just the clash of their swords.

A very cool close combat feat by Ichigo while he’s still in shikai. he beats 3 vice captains in close combat in a few seconds without using his zanpaktou. Note how in the case of one of the lieutenants he easily punches through about a foot of highly enchanted metal when he smashes the zanpaktou

What many people don’t seem to understand about bleach is that the levels between ranks are amazingly huge. In this scan Ichigo blocks an attack that equal to 1 MILLION ordinary zanpaktou’s with hs shikai.
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/Aizen/151-06.jpg
This is where he starts getting really fast. Here’s how i have chosen to calculate his speed in this case. First of all Byakuya has been calculated to be able to shunpo at speeds of up to 2100m/s earlier in the thread. The fastest any human can move is about 10/23 m/s (this is based upon the world record in the 100 meter dash). Therefore Byakuya can move at over 205.279 times faster than the fastest human ever, and since he can easily fight and react to individuals moving that fast as well his reaction times are proportional. That would mean that Byakuya’s reaction time is under .0024357143seconds at the beginning of the fight. In the first scan we can see that Byakuya is standing 25 meters away from Ichigo
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/Aizen/162-01.jpg
Yet Ichigo is able to move and put his sword at byakuya’s throat before byakuya can react and he even can track him with his eyes at some times in the fight.
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/Aizen/162-17.jpg
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/Aizen/162-18.jpg
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/Aizen/163-01.jpg
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/Aizen/163-02.jpg
Ichigo is therefore moving 25 meters in less than .0024357143 seconds, which puts his speed at a minimum of 12316.71554m/s. For reference the speed of sound is 344m/s, so he’s moving at Mach 35.8
Another way to confirm this speed is if we examine the scans we can see that Senbonzakura is able to go at least as fast as Byakuya which can be seen from how ichigo is unable to esacape from it when in shikai, even though he can easily keep up with Byakuya in hand to hand combat.

i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/161-16.jpg
In bankai Ichigo is easily dodging it to the extent that Byakuya is forced to take an action which DOUBLES the speed of Senbonzakura, thereby placing it’s speed at even greater than 4200, and Ichigo still continues to easily dodge and block it, and he speed is so great that Byakuya is seeing afterimages.

Ichigo’s Bankai Power:
In order to understand how truly powerful Ichigo’s bankai is and therefore his vaizard form, it’s important to understand how powerful his enemies are.
Here’s an explanation of how the menos work. Note how all of the arrancar are ENHANCED MENOS’S, and the enormous menos Ichigo fought earlier was merely a footsoldier. If you want to get a sense of the difference in power levels, the difference between a gillian menos and adjuchas menos is about the same as between a shinigami lieutenant and a shinigami captain.
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch197-15.png
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch197-16.png
Ichigo’s main opponent for much of the later half of the series was Grimmjow, an arrancar espada created from a adjuchas. Aizen’s 10 most powerful arrancar are formed into a group known as the Espada and are ranked based on their comba ability. It is also important to mention that their power levels continually increase exponentially as they go lower in the order. In Bankai Ichigo is able to slice off the arm of the number 10 espada yami with his sword in bankai. This is despite the fact that all of the espada are described as having enhanced skin that enables them to easily stop blades with their skin.(note that Yoruichi severely injured her hands by punching Yami)
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch193-12.png
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch193-13.png
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch193-14.png
Now if we look at the fight with Grimmjow, we can see he’s far above yami’s level, showing the ability to catch Ichigo’s sword with his bare hands and throw him.
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleachv24-106.png
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleachv24-107.png
Now It is important to note that in Bankai the attack power level of a shinigami is between 5 to 10 times higher than in shikai. So while the Black Getsuga Tesnhou may do less damage to the physical surroundings, that is because it focuses it’s power more. This can be seen from the way in which for example in the fight against Grimmjow, Grimmjow is able to shrug off all attacks as meaningless except for the Gestuga tenshou, and while he is in bankai form that only causes a surface wound.

Just a cool general strength feat:
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch193-11.png
Ichigo’s Vaizard form: In vaizard form Ichigo gains an enormous boost in power, durability, and speed comparable to the difference between his shikai and bankai. He also appears to have the ability to either ignore or heal wounds taken earlier, for example in the fight with Byakuya, Ichigo is able to pwn Byakuya in hollow form, having an impressive speed feat of appearing one both sides of byakuya, firing black getsuga tenshous on both sides and holding down byakuya before they can get there.

Ichigo’s fight with Kenpachi:

Ichigo’s clash with that level of energy causes an explosion which topples most of the nearby buildings and snaps Kenpachi’s sword.

A very cool close combat feat by Ichigo while he’s still in shikai. he beats 3 vice captains in close combat in a few seconds without using his zanpaktou. Note how in the case of one of the lieutenants he easily punches through about a foot of highly enchanted metal when he smashes the zanpaktou

What many people don’t seem to understand about bleach is that the levels between ranks are amazingly huge. In this scan Ichigo blocks an attack that equal to 1 MILLION ordinary zanpaktou’s with hs shikai.

This is where he starts getting really fast. Here’s how i have chosen to calculate his speed in this case. First of all Byakuya has been calculated to be able to shunpo at speeds of up to 2100m/s earlier in the thread. The fastest any human can move is about 10/23 m/s (this is based upon the world record in the 100 meter dash). Therefore Byakuya can move at over 205.279 times faster than the fastest human ever, and since he can easily fight and react to individuals moving that fast as well his reaction times are proportional. That would mean that Byakuya’s reaction time is under .0024357143seconds at the beginning of the fight. In the first scan we can see that Byakuya is standing 25 meters away from Ichigo
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/Aizen/162-01.jpg
Yet Ichigo is able to move and put his sword at byakuya’s throat before byakuya can react and he even can track him with his eyes at some times in the fight.
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/Aizen/162-17.jpg

i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/Aizen/163-02.jpg
Ichigo is therefore moving 25 meters in less than .0024357143 seconds, which puts his speed at a minimum of 12316.71554m/s. For reference the speed of sound is 344m/s, so he’s moving at Mach 35.8
Another way to confirm this speed is if we examine the scans we can see that Senbonzakura is able to go at least as fast as Byakuya which can be seen from how ichigo is unable to esacape from it when in shikai, even though he can easily keep up with Byakuya in hand to hand combat.

i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/161-16.jpg
In bankai Ichigo is easily dodging it to the extent that Byakuya is forced to take an action which DOUBLES the speed of Senbonzakura, thereby placing it’s speed at even greater than 4200, and Ichigo still continues to easily dodge and block it, and he speed is so great that Byakuya is seeing afterimages.

Ichigo’s Bankai Power:
In order to understand how truly powerful Ichigo’s bankai is and therefore his vaizard form, it’s important to understand how powerful his enemies are.
Here’s an explanation of how the menos work. Note how all of the arrancar are ENHANCED MENOS’S, and the enormous menos Ichigo fought earlier was merely a footsoldier. If you want to get a sense of the difference in power levels, the difference between a gillian menos and adjuchas menos is about the same as between a shinigami lieutenant and a shinigami captain.
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch197-15.png
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch197-16.png
Ichigo’s main opponent for much of the later half of the series was Grimmjow, an arrancar espada created from a adjuchas. Aizen’s 10 most powerful arrancar are formed into a group known as the Espada and are ranked based on their comba ability. It is also important to mention that their power levels continually increase exponentially as they go lower in the order. In Bankai Ichigo is able to slice off the arm of the number 10 espada yami with his sword in bankai. This is despite the fact that all of the espada are described as having enhanced skin that enables them to easily stop blades with their skin.(note that Yoruichi severely injured her hands by punching Yami)

i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch193-14.png
Now if we look at the fight with Grimmjow, we can see he’s far above yami’s level, showing the ability to catch Ichigo’s sword with his bare hands and throw him.

i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleachv24-107.png
Now It is important to note that in Bankai the attack power level of a shinigami is between 5 to 10 times higher than in shikai. So while the Black Getsuga Tesnhou may do less damage to the physical surroundings, that is because it focuses it’s power more. This can be seen from the way in which for example in the fight against Grimmjow, Grimmjow is able to shrug off all attacks as meaningless except for the Gestuga tenshou, and while he is in bankai form that only causes a surface wound.

Just a cool general strength feat:
i41.photobucket.com/albums/e254/hitokiri7303/manga-rainbleach-ch193-11.png
Ichigo’s Vaizard form: In vaizard form Ichigo gains an enormous boost in power, durability, and speed comparable to the difference between his shikai and bankai. He also appears to have the ability to either ignore or heal wounds taken earlier, for example in the fight with Byakuya, Ichigo is able to pwn Byakuya in hollow form, having an impressive speed feat of appearing one both sides of byakuya, firing black getsuga tenshous on both sides and holding down byakuya before they can get there.
