Do you all remember when, Ichigo go severely affected by Hollow reiatsu from his battle with, I believe it was, Grimmjow? When it first occurred, I thought it strange. In each subsequent battle, he seemed weakened whether he fought Grimmjow or Ulquiorra. He really did not make any headway until he either used hollow power or totally hollowfied as in the case with the fight with Ulqi... I believe that having totally accepted who he is on all fronts is what will make him nearly invincible. However, as it relates to Ishida not dying from the hollow attacks before, then that is somewhat of a plotkai I surmise due to HIS particular brand of specialness...we will see.
