I think Ichigo will win
VS.

as much as I would love for Ichimaru to win im pretty sure Ichigo will pull some type of gigantic power boost out of his ass and win,but then again if Ichimaru were to use his Bankai which im hopin will be really badass im pretty sure he could take him out.

Yeah we've only seen Tousen's bankai of the three renegade Captains in HM, so Gin's should be next since Aizen is like the main, strongest villain. All Ichigo has is hollow powers and bankai, lol, in an all-out fight I'd say Gin would win, but then again, Ichigo is the good guy, so he's got the "I win" button"...

I feel it comin on...yep,its a rant

Spoiler:

I mean I know he's the main character fightin for the greater good or whatever the hell it is they're fightin for but come on,he gets his ass whooped like 3 times by each of the most hardcore characters(Byakuya,Grimmjow,Kenpachi freakin killed him!)but he just gets some type of super power up he calls his "resolve".what I don''t get is how he can get all of that but everyone has to work their ass off for years just so they can get to the next level of their powers and his just kicks in mid-fight...end rant.

What the hell u talking about, Zaraki and Byakuya lost their respective fights against Ichigo,

Manga spoiler

Spoiler:

Grimmjow is going to get his ass handed to him in an all out battle in HM.

...and the resolve isn't his power-up, the resolve is just a factor he depends on to get the power-up, which was bankai and control of his hollow-powers respectively... but yeah, your main point is right, Byakuya was talking about how rare achieving bankai is and that it takes years, while Ichigo just wtfpwns everybody in speed as to achieving more power. Overwhelming power of the protagonist strikes again.

yeah let me try to clear that up cause it was like 5am when I wrote that,I was tryin to point out that when he fought Kenpachi he couldn't even cut him and then got stabbed(through his sword)through the chest and was left in a puddle of blood to die but Zangetsu comes and brings him back to life with more power thats able to top Kenpachi's.then when he was fightin with Byakuya it got to a point where he couldn't even move and was about to be killed but his hollow came out and just started beatin Byakuya's ass like he was nothin which resulted in Ichigo bein able to come back and over power Byakuya.my main point is basically he gets things handed to him a lot because he's the main character,but let me try not to get off topic of the question and throw in my vote for Ichimaru.

Well I can see your point with Kenpachi were its just I'm Ichigo so I win but, with Byakuya its not just some random power up like dbz It actually shows that the hollow part of him can take over given the right factors which is a pivotal part of the story.

Well that's one point of view. After the match you could ask yourself, "did Ichigo or Hollow-Ichigo win?"... but the whole character of his hollow is suppressed now, so they kinda killed that whole part off. I hope they will make more out of Ichigo's hollow though, I don't quite see how he has played his part in Bleach yet, since Ichigo is nowhere near Aizen or any of the three renegade Captains when it comes to strength, as far as I can see. He got beat by the fourth espada, right now he shouldn't even be able to win an all out fight with any of the top three.

well I won't say any spoilers but I will say this,later on in the manga it gets beyond badass in Hueco Mundo and there will be a better chance of them winning this war.

beyond badass indeed

Currently, I'd say Ichimaru. That being said Ichigo is the main character of Bleach so down the road he'll be able to defeat Ichimaru.

I would say Ichigo considering that he is the main character, but I am definitely interested in just how strong Ichimaru is.

Ill agree, if they were to fight now in the series, I believe that Ichimaru would win, but when or if they do, by that time, or by the end of the fight at least, Im sure that Ichigo will find some way to win... unless Ichimaru turn against Aizen or something strange like that, which I doubt would happen

idk it just might end in a tie i can't be sure but idk if right now if even his hollow is stronger than him at this point or if he's looking for an opening to appear so basically ichimaru and ichigo if fought might go down with a tie. I too want to know just how powerful ichimaru i only seen him in one battle which was with hitsugaya so that helped a bit to tell how high level he is. The suspense is heating up huh
