Although in our mortal time, it seems like ichigo hasn't fought in a very long time.... weeks upon weeks. however, in the bleach manga universe... ichigo has faught hard since arriving just a short time ago in hueco mundo and has yet to master his hollowization to the point of maintaining it for a long time, he is bound to revert to his energy drained normal body very shortly after that failed attack on ulquiorra.
