Unless they cancel the show. Even if it runs long it won't be because of action, 'cause we know that they never show the actual battles in bleach. It will insted be contained by training and flashbacks of the training and other "significant" events. And at some part Ichigo will scream "MUST.... PROTECT.... FRIENDS.... WITH.... BIG........ STRENGHT" and power up.
