Would be interesting to see Ichigo's new bankai.

I think we can sort of predict its type based on the things we've already seen.

I mean, we can draw easy contrasts between the Inner Hollow and the Quincy manifestation. The Quincy manifestation lacks raw strength (quite obvious) but makes up for it with tremendous speeds. That was the whole point of Ichigo's former Bankai; his lack of power was made up for in his increase in his speed, which is one of the reasons why he was able to match Byakuya. The Inner Hollow had a 'berserker' attitude, where it focused on hitting its opponents as hard as it could, not really focusing on how many times it could beat its opponents. In its fight against Ichigo, where both were in their Bankai forms, you can easily see that it pretty much beat Ichigo using its Getsuga Tensho, which was on a completely different power scale.

I think his new Bankai is going to be a power type. Can't be too far fetched to say that. I honestly hope his Bankai focuses more on his exerting of his spiritual pressure. Most of the strongest Bankai abilities which we have seen so far, ie Zanka No Tachi, Karamatsu Shinjuu, have a focus on exerting the wielder's spiritual pressure. Ichigo's former Bankai didn't really have that.
