Ichigo suicide: Great idea. Soi Fon, Rojuro and Hitsugaya were tired because they had been fighting for a long time, Soi Fon had lost an arm (which makes running more difficult), Hitsugaya had used his strongest attack, after which his opponent was freed so that he had to start the fight all over again without any rest. Rojuro was tired because he used a strong attack, too - that and it didn't work very well, so he had to continue fighting. I dont know if you've noticed, but every time there is a fight, both combatants get tired. It's natural - live with it.
