Perhaps in the fanfiction, Ichigo hides his powers because he wants to live a normal life for a while. He could be tired of all the battles and responsibilities that come with his power. So, he tries to blend in at school and with his family, but of course, it's not easy as his true nature keeps showing up in small ways.
The Soul Reapers could be involved too. Some of them might notice that Ichigo is acting strange and try to figure out what's going on. Captains like Byakuya or Kenpachi could potentially cross paths with Ichigo during this time. And then there are the Hollows. They might sense that something is different about Ichigo but not be able to fully understand why he seems weaker than before, which could lead to some interesting confrontations.
One common plotline is Ichigo trying to get his powers back. He might embark on a quest, perhaps traveling to some hidden or dangerous places. Another is that he discovers new latent abilities within himself that he didn't know about before his power loss.
One interesting plotline could be Ichigo facing off against in - game bosses that are based on his real - life enemies. It adds a new layer of challenge and a different kind of revenge factor.
Another way Ichigo could get his powers back in fanfiction is through a magical or spiritual artifact. Maybe he discovers an ancient sword or a talisman that has the ability to restore his lost powers. This could be part of a grander plot where he has to go on a quest to find this item, facing various challenges and enemies along the way. During this journey, he might also learn more about the true nature of his powers and how they are connected to the overall 'Bleach' universe.
Another plotline could involve Momo getting into trouble and Ichigo coming to her rescue. In the process, they discover new things about each other and their relationship deepens. For example, Momo might accidentally stumble upon a secret lemon - themed power source that is being misused, and Ichigo uses his strength to protect her while they figure out how to fix the situation. This could lead to some heart - to - heart conversations between them.
One possible plotline could be Ichigo learning Soifon's unique combat techniques. Since Soifon is a highly skilled fighter in the Bleach universe, Ichigo under her guidance might develop new ways of using his sword and his spiritual power. Another could be Ichigo adapting to the strict discipline of Soifon's way of life. Soifon is known for her no - nonsense attitude and high standards. Ichigo might struggle at first but eventually grow stronger because of it.
Another plotline could be where Hollow Ichigo and Orihime get trapped in an alternate dimension. There, they have to rely on each other to find a way out. Hollow Ichigo's wild and unpredictable nature combined with Orihime's calm and kind heart would make for an interesting dynamic as they face various challenges in this strange new world.
One possible plotline could be Ichigo's journey to discover and master his new dragon god powers. Maybe he has to face off against powerful enemies who are threatened by his newfound status.
In some fanfictions, they might time travel to an era where the Quincy were more powerful. Ichigo, being part Quincy, might have to face some difficult decisions regarding his heritage. Orihime would be there to support him, and together they could end up changing the course of history between the Shinigami and the Quincy. This could lead to a completely different world in the present, with new alliances and enmities.
One interesting plotline could be them teaming up to face a new and powerful enemy that neither could defeat alone. Their combined skills and unique abilities would make for an exciting adventure.
