I tried to pull "unfiting information" in my comics and it always ends as badwriting - because there is no way a person would make a disgression that big in the middle of such dramatic speach. "You're going to die, I don't like rain, and you have to find your own power to survive" That doesn't sound right.

Ok, so we have Zangetsu's word that Shinigami can fly in real world or something. Well, it has to be real world since noone is flying in SS just to move faster or avoid the labirynth. Without mentioning fillers that exploit the labirynth theme even more, they don't even use shunpo too much or jumping on the walls.
Next thing we see is Urahara saving our group with his carpet, because not all of them are shinigami that can walk on sky. We know they can because after SS arc nearly all shinigami vs arrancar fights take place in mid-air while they both walk on sky.

But then we go to HM, and it turns out that Ichigo and Grimjaw (and others) can walk spiritually build sky too. This is a big news because most people would think that HM is more similar to SS while being constructed with spiritual energy and beina world where spiritual beings live. It somehow is more real than SS, because people can do sky walking thing.

It's not a big plothole, but it'll be if anybody starts fly (without super cloack) in SS.
I think we exhausted this matter around 3 months ago, don't remember the thread...but it's definitely another one of those "things that KT forgot".
Anyways, about the main character, Ichigo was more of a deliquent in the beginning of the story, a very cool anti-hero with a little bit of power to misuse.
His friend gets kidnapped, he does some hyperbolic training and saves her ass after lots of brawling. WHY save her, a real deliquent would leave her to her fate or tell Renji to save her since he got a lot more backstory with Rukia, and instead Ichigo would focus on beating up anyone after his partially illegal ass, making for a more fighting-oriented story where the hero actually LEARNS how to fight and doesn't suddenly become enlightened outta nowhere. His enemies could become his sparring partners, they could enter underground shinigami tournaments, go on Quincy hunts, raise pet hollows for a freakin competition, ANYTHING BUT SAVING THE WORLD!
