Oh one thing I found while looking through some stuff last night. I found it interesting that Ichigo was always afraid of his hollow powers. Being part quincy it made a lot more since, it's natural to fear your poison. I hadn't put 2 and 2 together on that until you made me re-look at some stuff.

But on that same line, do you think, due to statements in the dangai training, that the old man hates the rain because it's directly related to his hollow powers?

Also in the same training, everyone noticed how the old man got younger in "bankai" I think this is a foreshadowing about Ywach that may not have been reveled yet.
