Actually Ichi learned the name of his zanpakutou during his training with Urahara, right after he got out of the hole.
To be more specific Yoruichi said that Zaraki is the only captain who doesn't know how to use bankai and doesn't even know the name of his sword, however his sword is in it's released form all the time.

NO. Ichigo's sword was simply big because he was unable to control his own reiatsu. Ichigo's father said that if captains would not control their reiatsu they'd be fightning with zanpakutous the size of skyscrapers.
Ichigo achieved shikai after the hole, after learning the name of his zanpakutou.
Thanks for clearing that up, I knew it didn't sound right, but it's been awhile since I've reread that far back. Cuz he already had the shikai when they fought.

since you offered

can you please say where it is isshin and urahara mention dislike for the soul king.
I do recall urahara basically calling him the lynch pin but of course that doesnt say he likes him just that he is necessary which can be a necessary evil ofc. the hogkuyi could have been made to create a new lynch pin and urahrara just thought aizen wasnt fit to be it.
hrm i am pretty sure aizen creation of his own hogyuki(terrible spelling lol) was for selfish reasons and what we currently know at this point aizen didnt have ulterior motives outside of wanting to be the one to stand on top.
Why go about it in such a round about way to kill ichigo and why take capable hostages and ones who would most likely sacrifice themselves to not be a burden to ichigo.
The fullbringers and whoever it is in hueco mundo are a given on helping during this war with the quincies. aizen on the other hand i do believe is still looking out for number one(himself)
I am almost certain she has ridiculous reiatsu(may have been the anime adding to make up the length of the episode though), strength(lifts kenpachi after the ichigo fight and jumps really damn high), speed too i think she ran without flash step pretty damn fast quite a distance. I would also assume unlike shunsui's liet who the commander made unable to breathe with the liet being so close to kenpachis ridiculous reiatsu she would have been fine.
kenpachi's sword regarding shikai lol there are topics on some forums just about this. Some go by the databook saying its always in shikai some take the approach that to even get shikai you have to communicate with your sword(which he clearly never does except after the lost). some use the actual manga to refute it further by kenpachi saying that his sword is always "released" or that its his swords "true form". ichigo while training with yourichi to achieve bankai i believe...yourichi says something like "if you havent noticed your sword is always released" and ichigo says "Oh like kenpachi's" and yourichi doesnt confirm or deny.
Can take it further and say its not even a zanpukto and just a regular sword lol but yeah he doesnt get anything from his shikai and is truly just fighting with a sword and reiatsu.
He says something along the lines "Oh so you've met the spirit king also? Then the next 2 panels is just there faces all angered. It's not said it but if you read the context and look at the pictures it is really obvious all 3 of them hate the spirit king.
Aizen created his after seening the spirit king and finding out Urahara had created one. It might of seemed like for power. But we all know Aizen is a sneaky guy and has many things under his sleeves.
Maybe not kill him, but to stop the trurth about him and his family coming out. Isshin stopped Aizen from doing it once, Urahara also has tried to keep Ichigo away from it. They probably fear that if he finds out the truth he will go and try to kill them or something like that.
I doubt the fullbrings will be helping out (all 3 of them are suppose to be dead, so I wonder how there going to bring them back into the story in the first place) and the one at Hueco Mundo is Grimmmjow, Just looking at the clothing it showed it was his. Also the way he talked.
I don't mean Aizen will be a complete good guy, but he might help aid in the fight against the spirit king if it comes down to that. (Acting on his own, but with a comon goal as everyone else).
Well until he finds out the ablities of his shikai he will just be using it like a normal sword. I just hope that he speaks to his sword. it's been a year since the Aizen fight, for all we know he might of learned it. It skipped over his fights so we couldn't see if he leanred anything new or not.
