I've been reading a lot of the ideas concerning Ichigo's new hollow transformation and I believe I might have something to add. Possibly. Has anyone ever thought of the possibility that Ichigo's inner hollow, regardless of class, would have a resureccion ability? For me, it would explain how Ichigo was revived. Before I'm pelted with facts about Arrancar or Vizard let's all take the time to remember that Ichigo is in fact at least half Human and that the rules concerning the former do not necessarily apply to the latter.

While I understand the mindset your coming from. Ichigo is a human (meaning he hasn't died in the real world and been reborn in Soul Society). So the other side is he has gained shinigami powers and his soul can leave his body behind, then in gaining the abilities he also unintentionally gained hollow powers. So I think thats where you were going, he is basically somewhat of anomaly. The only thing is even still he seems to follow a set guideline based on what has happened. Kinda like if your given soul burial your reborn in soul society, if your in the human world to long after death or give into despair your reborn as a hollow. The problem being ichigo isn't dead (considering if he was he would be reborn in a different body and no memories of his past and vise versa thus taking him out of the story). So what are we left with someone who went through a method to release his soul from his mortal body and then gained powers of the shinigami but also because of that method also gained hollow powers inadvertently, so because he was shinigami before really gaining the hollow abilities that makes him a vizard technically (as he has shown on on many occasions). The only problem with the arrancar idea is that its the opposite of a vizard a hollow who has gained shinigami-like qualities. So what im getting from your idea is that his inner hollow (which seems more like a consciousness type of entity) is the exact opposite of him making the inner hollow a arrancar. Now why i can understand the concept due to the way he achieved his abilities and all but then the question is how does it have access to his abilities as a shinigami, arrancar dont have shikai or bankai, hollow ichigo has shown capable of both. A Resureccion is the releasing of the true hollow sealed form of an arrancar, it not a true zanapakuto, as thats all its for, sealing their true hollow form. Now the new transformation i believe is more related to his vizard abilities, i reflect on that from kensei's original transformation 110 yrs ago when he attacked the investigation team.

I also believe that Ichigo's Hollow form might have had a transformation to begin with, but hasn't been able to manifest itself until recently. I mean, if you look at Ulquiorra and the fact that most Arrancar seal their power in a zanpakuto, his Segunda Etapa ability was likely an ability Ulquiorra had ever since he was a Hollow, but rarely shows it (as he notes that he hasn't shown it to Aizen yet). For reasons still unexplained, this could have been one of Ichigo's Hollow abilities as well, but might have needed something to trigger the transformation, which might include the theory that Hueco Mundo is affecting Ichigo's powers in a similar manner to Chad's. Also, I think it's possible that the other vizards might have a similar transformation as well. Granted, none of them has proven it yet, but we haven't seen the full power of each vizard as of yet, and they might be capable of something like Ichigo has become. It's still unknown now, so I think we can only call this a theory at best. Arrancar109 22:51, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
