well as you said ichigo hates to be weak and helpless so i don't think that he would give up his power easyle based on that reason. biside there are a cupel of people that could take the place of the soul king biside ichigo. and the none happy ending you were talking about could be that ichigo can't go back to the world og the living but insted most stay in the soul society.
