I have a really crazy theory…Ichigo is the Hogyoku…well sort of, just hear me out on this. The objective of Aizen's Hogyoku is to use it in order to become a transient being. The Hogyoku manipulates the power of the souls absorbed into it in order to become a being that can become and withstand any form of power. Many powers of different species in bleach are very similar in form and power, yet they are different. If a being could somehow manipulate the different styles of reishi in an attack, theoretically they would be a transcendent being. My super whacked out theory is that Aizen's attempts at an artificial hogyoku failed so he theorized a way to create one naturally, and Aizen intended to absorb Ichigo's powers and become a true transcendent being, which is what I think he meant by "I will eat you." In other words, Ichigo was Aizen's Guinea pig, and if you have read all of this insanity then I congratulate you.
