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.
Ichigo wants to bury him in the material world because he feels more of a kinship with him as they are both substitute shinigami, and ichigo doesn't feel very much anger towards him for trying to f'uck his life. If ichigo didn't care, it would make him more like the s'hitty ginjo who turned against the soul society for basically no reason other than feeling betrayed and then set out to do this whole xcution thing. This arc progresses ichigo as a character much more than any other arc, imo, but i don't think we needed such a roundabout way to do that.
