Eh I can kinda see this, but not really to the extent that you are saying. Ginjo may have taught Ichigo fullbring, but at the same time, he was the mastermind behind the whole, "I'm going to mindfuck you and your family and destroy you thing." So it is pretty black and white, Ichigo kills Ginjo, or his life is ruined and he dies. The issue with Kubo's ratings probably came from the fact that this arc blew and took way to dam long to get through the insignificant crap that we all had to read through for the last few months. I really don't have much sympathy for Kubo and am not completely sure why Ichigo cares so much about having Ginjo's body be buried in the real world. I guess the only reasons I can see is that Ichigo can understand partially why Ginjo reacted as he did and since he's a human, Ichigo wants his body to lie in the real world that hes from, or something like that.
