What do you think will happen 2 Ichigo when he dies? When he is separated from his body he turns into a soul reaper. In order 2 get his soul reaper powers back he had 2 have his soul removed from his body and in one of his task he was a normal soul when he left his body and had 2 have his chain of fate cut. When the chain of fate gets cut you will become a hollow. Ichigo had 2 either become a soul reaper before his chain of fate got completely devoured or get killed because he turned into a hollow. So when Ichigo dies since his normal soul got turned into a soul reaper do you think he will just become a soul reaper? If he does turn into a normal soul and go 2 the soul society and decides 2 become a soul reaper do you think he will still have Zangetsu as his zanpakuto? If you remember correctly after Ichigo got his powers back his zanpakuto changed shape completely and that was because ichigo now was using his own soul reaper powers instead of the powers he got from Rukia. Also remember that in Bleach the saying goes a zanpakuto is born with its soul reaper and dies with its soul reaper. That means that Zangetsu will die. But since Ichigo will become a soul reaper again do you think that it is possible that Zangetsu will be reborn? And if Zangetsu does get reborn do you think that Ichigo will still be able 2 use his bankai or do you think that he will have 2 learn it all over again? I am really interested in what you people think. I personally don't have a answer 2 this question because i think that everything i said can happen, i know that sounds weird but it all just seems logical 2 me.
