Bleach 349
I might be calling it too soon, but:
Now: The last pages of The Lust 3 (lol spoiler alert)
Then: Ichigo fighting the Vizards
I'm just saying that Ichigo's random two feet of hair might not be totally random. It's happened once before, and it has rather conspicuous timing. It's when he was fighting his Hollow inside, and the Vizards were fighting his Hollow outside.
So, to theorize, Ichigo having apparently died here, could now be awakening as a true Hollow. This could obviously pose a huge big problem for Orihime and Ishida, because Hollow instincts will drive him to try to kill her or both of them. But, more importantly, Hollow!Ichigo could stand up to Ulquiorra; could, in fact, become an Arrancar, since we know that Hollow don't need Aizen's power or the power of the Hougyoku to become Arrancar. The current Espada are mostly Hougyoku-and-Aizen-created, but the old Espada (the Privaron) (and Aaroniero) are Hollow who managed, naturally, to ditch their masks and become part shinigami.
We may wind up seeing another Ichigo v Hollow!Ichigo duel, this time finished, since we never did reach a real conclusion: Ichigo never really did defeat his Hollow, only managed to get it to retreat for a short while and bide its time. Is that how it works, with Vizard? Maybe, who can say. But it isn't resolved yet.
I'd also like to see everyone have to fight Hollow!Ichigo. Ideally he would kick Ulquiorra's ass and then the good guys have to fight him (the way the Vizard did) while he struggles to regain self-control. But this is just whimsy.
At any rate: those two Ichigos look alike. We may be in for some rough times! That'd be fun. :D

Of course, I'd thought, "Well, Ishida can't die, because Ichigo got to come right back!" .. But he didn't, he went hollowthing. *snaps*
