Another thing is that Kido use just doesn't seem like something Ichigo would resort to. He'd be the ideal squad 11 member. If Ichigo's fate was to give up his human existence and Zaraki was dead, he'd slot right in as the captain of squad 11. Not gonna happen of course, as I think there are bigger things in store for him, just saying.
