Quick Fix

You can never go wrong with "please" and "thank you" C:

So this is a critique of Bleach episode 91. It's part of the Bount arc (which is filler and therefore easy to poke fun at XD).

Ichigo was not able to use his Bankai earlier in the Bount arc. He is getting beat up by the head bount in episode 90 and basically needs to use Bankai if he wants to survive. So he goes to his inner world and talks to Zangetsu. Zangetsu says that he has to believe in himself, fight for his friends, and be super resolved, etc. Ichigo's like, "Aha, thanks!" Then he can use Bankai again! Magic!

But Ichigo always does that. I didn't see any reason why he wouldn't have been able to use Bankai before if that was the only thing he had to do.

I like this scenario better. It'is just as arbitrary as the real one, but at least the cause-and-effect relationship is clear
