Chapter Prediction:
I doubt that Ichigo easily handed over to him. Do you guys recalled the opponent trolling along with him? Even if his down the floor, I think he would have overwhelmed the opponent like nobody's business. Maybe that's some special gravity power but when your controlling it, you cannot destroy your opponent right on time. It only proofs it's a weak Stern Ritter.
Either way, Ichigo surely will stand up and face the bigger adversary instead of this.
