Oh I don't think it's a good idea at all if Ichigo joins the Soul Society, it defies his character and I honestly can't see him leave his sisters, Orihime, Uryu or Karakura town in general, but it seems to be what Kubo's been hinting at for a while, especially during the Lost Agent arc, where Ichigo didn't know what to do with his life.
