well...ichigos hollow form is a beast, ill give him that, but i see your point, he is having to use it more and more frequently, but doesnt't that make it more interesting really, like what if every enemy was easy for Ichigo to beat and we knew it? then the show would be boring and just be slaughter for all the rest of them, i mean, having tough enemies is all the more interesting isnt it? in my opinion, i think that ichigo has not gotten weaker, he just needs to warm up a bit until hes back to him old self, and to do that hes gotta practice with both (bankai and shikai), to do so...
