That sounds plausible as well.

I'm aware Byakuya explained why the effects of Ichigo's bankai made it so small. But I was questioning why Ichigo was gifted with a bankai that ran contrary to every other bankai in this series. In other words, while every other bankai in this series sort-of expands and releases a shiniagmi's powers outwards, Ichigo's bankai is sort of implied to be the only one to ever do the exact opposite for the sake augmenting his strength. So is it just a complete coincidence? Or will Kubo come up with a creative reason for it (perhaps going so far as to connect such an explanation to his unique rate of growth as a shinigami). Its a long shot and probably very unlikely to happen. But I think I'd be amused if that were the case.
