That scene is foreshadowing Ichigo’s potential, rather than being a consistently accurate portrayal of his power at the time. You’ll see as you keep reading that Urahara states that that Ichigo there is only like 3rd-4th seat level, and Kisuke is blatantly captain level. So it’s just not consistent to say Ichigo’s normal power is there yet. Kisuke also gets stronger throughout the series too, he begins the series in a rusty state similar to Yoruichi.Hey all, I recently started reading through the series (just finished Vol 9 infact) and I'm really enjoying it so far but I do have one question about the scaling. After unlocking Zangetsu Ichigo's slash is so strong that it would have cut Urahara's arm off if he didn't shield himself. However Soul Society Arc Ichigo is rated 7-B while Kisuke's first key is 6-B, is there a reason for this?
But if you’re still not buying it, Kisuke’s 6-B scaling comes from the Arrancar arc which happens after Soul Society anyway
