Lmao. Looks like Hollow Zangetsu got Kensei'd; can't exactly say that I didn't see it coming though. This is a real call back to when he first attained his Bankai - we have yet to see exactly how Ichigo managed to defeat him the first time. Personally, I think that skipping the was fight for the best - Ichigo's fights with his "power" are always the same. He finds the resolve he lost, and BAM: his Inner Hollow is down for the count. I am sure that we'll at least get a flashback about it; Isshin did say that Ichigo would learn why Zanpakuto spirits don't want their masters to learn all of their techniques. That sounds pretty important, but to be honest, I'd rather see Ichigo take on Aizen. However... I keep getting this nagging feeling that SOMETHING is going to delay their inevitable battle. TBtP2? A wrap up in Hueco Mundo? It just seems too soon for this fight to happen... and the perfect time to leave us all hanging Dx
