Okay, yeah his character is not fully developed as it could be. True Sal. But what I was referring to in mentioning growth was, his fighting prowess. Since its a no-brainer that Kubo either doesn't care to develop him this way or doesn't have the literary skill, then I did not see a reason to mention this and I do read just about all your blogs. I agree with some and disagree with some as you know. I could see, with a glimmer of hope(call me Glimmer Man), the possibility of Ichigo growing a bit in character if by some chance, lightning strikes Kubo on the way to Comic-Con and he is enlightened, I still hold out a little hope. If he lived to 100 and Kubo turned over creative control to someone more experienced in character development, Bleach would be all the more better for it and this would not be the end of the manga. Ahh, wishful thinking....

@CapBrks; Agreed.
