He was already in Shikai form!! If the form was not even shikai I call BS because that is just Kubo making Ichigo so powerful that he can contend with God over training for a couple of days at the most. That would be Dangai 2.0, and I would likely just drop the series if that happened. Now, I feel as though this form is going to use all of his powers, not just Quincy and Hollow. His hollow and shiniami are the same thing, so it would not make sense how he could use one without the other. I feel as though this form will replace his Bankai as he can tap into all powers and does not need to do bankai in order to get the full power of his shinigami side.
