I was thinking along the same lines. It'll really depend on the pace of the story. Ichigo is to the point now where he's the big mega weapon to be used at the end. I can definitely see him being held out of the initial fight while doing additional training up in the soul palace until he's ready to face Yhwach 1 on 1.
