Forget about wild imagination, I´m a newbie and got recently scolded for posting a crack theory, so I will be more careful this time. Your idea of a shield is interesting, but unprecedented. We know that fullbringer powers depend on loving things (let´s rephrase that into being attached to things). I think that Syxx20 is going into the right direction: Until now, Ichigo didn´t literally love any objects. Sure, he has a strong affection for his friends, but we are talking about inanimate objects - like Sado´s coin, Orihime´s hairthingy, Riruka´s dollhouse etc (by the way, it´s funny to think/conclude that Kugo could manipulate the "soul" of his drink, because he loves alcohol). At any rate, I expect that Ichigo will gain only some rudimentary fullbringer powers (at first), because love was never an important issue in his life - until yet, that is. So the most I would expect from him right now is maybe some kind of pulling out his soul from the body shinigami-style, but without his Zampaktou (which would be the second lesson on the way to restore his powers).
