My take on this is that for Ichigo to truly be at his full potential then his powers should be united and whole and not require any transformations to use them. In other words, I don't want to see him hollowfy anymore. If he needs to kick it into high gear, then he goes Bankai and it's game over. I expect him to be able to attack and use Blut Vein at the same time. Maybe he'll be able to shoot Quincy arrows from the short zanpakuto? One thing I have said before here is that I don't expect to see Mugetsu become a standard ability with his new Zangetsu. However, I wouldn't be shocked (or really dismayed) if it was. Looking forward to seeing what happens with the rest of you!
