I don't know, I think that his Bankai just reached its full potential. I couldn't imagine that his Shikai would take on any other form as its original form is just awesome as it is. However, what I think is awesome is that, it seems that 'Getsuga' has or will taken on a lifeforce of its own. Before it was Zangetsu and Hollow Ichigo. But during the FTG, I believe that when he said, " ....is when I become Getsuga...." that this means that there was another entity none of us (of course this is Kubo's world, we're just squirrels trying to get nuts!) ever thought about, 'Getsuga.' So, this is a refreshingly new way of looking at Ichigo's power. There are a lot of what ifs that could go on after this but, I won't be the one.
