It’s actually insane how after everything he’s been through from Soul society to basically dying in Hueco Mundo, it was losing the faith of people around him and losing this power that got him to break down into despair. It’s really unfortunate this arc doesn’t get the credit it deserves simply bc it’s lacking in action, but Jesus, not only was this back to essentially square 1, Ichigo is actually contemplating on killing someone. Bro never had this energy even to Ulqiorra or Aizen.
I kinda disagree on that “ichigo is contemplating killing someone” take, urahara explained that resolve especially resolve to kill calls forth power very fast so ichigo has been willing to end lives since he got his shikai
He's been willing to use lethal force, but he still never actually willingly killed anyone. Tsukishima and Ginjo were the first time he wanted to kill someone
