On the subject of Ichigo, I would say that he does end up relying on his hollow. It has saved his life several times from what I have seen already. And what I know about it in the Arrancar it definitely gives him a power boost that is required. But I would imagine that it is pretty natural that if you are going up against a Arrancar that you would need to be Vizard to stand a chance. That is naturally not always the case, as the Captains are strong enough, but they have been training and honing their skills for a hundred years or more. So they are going to be far superior in their Shinigami powers alone than Ichigo. If Ichigo had a hundred years to devote to improving himself he would probably be the strongest shinigami there is, but he is working off inexperience and all of his previous battles. He has taken shortcuts to reach each new plateau. There has been no long training and understanding what he really is. If he remotely understood his spiritual energy he would be a lot better as well.

I've thought of that quite a few times. The thing is that, i'm not sure if it's going to be enough; relying on his Hollow. I'll explain.

He still didn't have what it takes to beat the Arrancar on his own. At a certain point, after fully harnessing that power, he will defeat the first Arrancar. But i believe that there will still be a limit to that power. After beating Arrancar after Arrancar, the difficulty of the battles will progressively raise. Right? In the end, if he doesn't surpass his limits again & reach a whole new level of Vizard, how is he going to beat Aizen?????? It happened on the first episodes; his powers grew & grew, but he still needed Bankai to win. I don't know if there's another similar way, or technique to manage to be victorious in the future.

However, i'm not going to try & guess what will happen at that point; only the creator of the series knows.

EDIT: It worked! I should have posted this some time ago, but whatever.
