You make an interesting point. I hadn't thought of Ichigo actually becoming part of the Soul King, but your theory makes some sense especially given Ichigo's heritage. My personal theory is that the Soul King which we have seen is the physical (or should I say spiritual) manifestation of the balance between spirits and the real world.
