Wouldn't that mean that Ichigo's Hollowfication and Zanpakuto aren't his own powers, so to speak, if they are borrowed from another distinct entity? Despite the fact that Ichigo identifies said entity as facet of himself and not a separate person? Despite the fact that Ouetsu confirmed that Zanpakutou spirits are YOU in every sense of the word? And if it's really Zangetsu using Ichigo's soul as a medium why didn't any of his full Hollow forms display Zangetsu's personality? (And don't tell me that there was an internal battle when "Zangetsu" fought Ulquiorra; it would have been noted no later than the Dangai training.) Why do certain pages list the full Hollow forms as "Hollowfied Ichigo" if its not Ichigo but Zangetsu possessing him? Going by your interpretation, Zangetsu is a completely separate person from Ichigo; a parasite trying to hijack its host's body like Kurama did to Naruto.

Except he's not. The Wiki pages switch back and forth from "Ichigo is losing his sanity and turning into a Hollow" to "Zangetsu is a fully independent entity possessing Ichigo's body and his actions and powers are not Ichigo's actions and powers." Why isn't Zangetsu listed in the "Ichigo vs Okou Yushima" page? Or better yet, why isn't it listed as "Zangetsu vs Okou Yushima"? It obviously wasn't Ichigo fighting Yushima, it was someone else using his body to fight, going by the popular interpretation of Zangetsu.

So is Ichigo borrowing someone else's power when he Hollowfies? Is Ichigo responsible for the full Hollow form's actions, or is Zangetsu responsible because Ichigo's body is just a vessel for Zangetsu to possess? Are his Hollow powers his own powers or is he borrowing someone else's power like Naruto and Kurama? There has to be some sort of clarification as to whether or not Zangetsu is just a symbolic personification of Ichigo's Hollow powers and an entity possessing his body.
