the end of bleach? (spoilers!)

[Souji Seta]

Ulquiorra Schiffer has finally shown his resurrecion form, the "murus hierago."
Ichigo held his ground against Ulquiorra in his normal form, he even managed to crack Ulquiorra's sword however, Ulquiorra busted through Las noches's ceiling and there, he released his zanpakuto. After he did so, Ichigo, even in his Vizard form fell easily in the might of Ulquiorra's resurrecion.
After realizing Ichigo's stubborness, Ulquiorra revealed his "Resurrecion Segunda" form. Kinda like the Bankai of Arrancars. Ichigo, inevitably, met his downfall.

Check chapter 348 for what really happened.

So ichigo has now fallen in the hands of ulquiorra's powerful resurrecion segunda. So what will happen next? is this a sign that the curtain will finally close? what do you think?

Definitely not! This is shonen Jump. If it were finally the end it would be a first for manga/anime of this type. Maybe the hole in Ichigo's chest will trigger another 'full hollow' transformation, and give him strength on par with Ulquiorra. Then I guess it would be up to oriheme and uryu to help him 'de hollow' somehow.

As for the future of bleach, I guess the visoreds will help soul society defeat aizen (I would like for the final fight to be him vs. Yama-jii, both at full strength, but I doubt it will be). Then I guess the vizoreds will reconsile with the shinigami, and everyone will be safe... for now

Not sure where the story will go from there, but I may stop following the anime at that point anyways, cos I dont see how they could make a good continuation which doesnt seem overly contrived
