HI everyone. Please allow me to weigh in on this one since I love to converse with intelligent people. Indeed, Ichigo is special for more than his raw power. Surely it is the development of his character that has the best of us intrigued to the point of following each manga even when the author drags it out a bit. That can kill your drive and attraction to a manga series yet Bleach manages to keep us enthralled to some degree or other. I for one, like that Ichi gets his butt handed to him often. It makes for a great learning experience that kind of serves as an 'academy' of sorts for him akin to the Shinigami Academy and the likes. One thing that the story shows is that even though he is young with untold of potential, he is also an apt pupil who catches on quickly. Very quickly. His determination to make things right and protect his family and friends is remarkable. There is no time to train him but if someone could, he would be more than unstoppable. Still. He is learning at a rapid rate. Saying this and moving forward, I think that we may get a scene where he converses with Zangetsu and his hollow and 'syncs' with them to fully understand his power and its usage. This usally doesn't take him long. The question is will it be written into the script. Also, have any of you ever thought what it might do to Ichi to realize that he is a natural Shinigami and to realize his lineage?? What that might balance out for him internally?? How that might unlock more power and intestinal fortitude and make him even more comfortable with wielding his incredible power? You know the saying, "knowledge is power...." I think that when he connects who his father is with who yourichii and the rest are, then he will really grasp the profundity of his role in this manga. What do you all think about this??
