like ichigo said he couldnt beat byakuya's bankai with his shikai, so he did bankai vs bankai, and won, but then byakuya did something called "senkai" and i interperted it to be his 3rd release, and thus ichigo still being at his second release (bankai) defeated byakuya's 3rd release? according to ichigo's logic with beating byakuya's bankai with his own bankai, he should've had to go "senkai" too in order to defeat byakuya's senkai.
