I think this will be the time when hollow Ichigo will return. Remember what he said to Ichigo during their last battle(the training with the Vizards) ? "If you really want to control my power, take care NOT TO DIE until I return, Ichigo!!!" - Bleach chapter 221, page 17. His long hair may be the prefiguration of his hollow form again. If you will remember his hollow form has long hair. It's just a theory but I really think he will become more of a hollow now.--Agate genbu 15:11, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

What I'm thinking is this: Ishida's lost hand is going to permanent, at the very least temporarily. Ichigo going full hollow will defeat Ulquiorra, but come at the price of inadvertently killing Inoue. That's why Ishida said he he would, "immediately regret agreeing," as though the event is past tense. (Or Ichigo gets control of the Hollow and becomes invincible, leading to what we can only hope is a ton of explanations for the power levels in Bleach.)--Renji Abarai 21:10, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I didn't really understand that who theory thread there Renji. But in any case I would agree that hollow form from the time when he fought the Vizards will be making a return. That would mean an internal conflict with the "hollow" Ichigo. It would seem this would be the time where Ichigo most likely comes to terms of what real power can be accessed with the hollow mask, something he would have probably gotten to sooner had he continued training, as Shinji wanted. As far as Ishida's hand I'm sure Orihime will heal it probably while Ichigo fights Ulquiorra, as loss of his hand takes away from his effectiveness as a quincy bowman. I stay away from the someone important dying thing until it actually happens there are currently way to many people on forums hoping someone dies, I can't help but wonder if people who think that a major character dying makes a story, actually knows anything about story telling or even if they actually like bleach. There are way to many comparisons to many many other anime shows that have nothing to do with this one. Orihime dying, I don't know where the train of thought comes from, she has been in Hueco Mundo for how long now, surrounded by Arrancar who could kill her and some who wanted to and she hasn't got so much as scratch on her the entire time stark, Nnoitra, Grimmjaw, Ulquiorra. She has been passed around the heavy hitters for a while now, if they wanted to kill her off they would have by now. Salubri 21:33, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm Pretty much 100% sure Ichigo's turning into a hollow, remember when hollow Ichigo said... "Ichigo, what do you think the difference between the king and his horse is? I'm not talking about some kiddy shit like 'one is a man and the other is a horse' or 'one has two legs and the other has four. If there were two beings with exactly same appearance, abilities and powers, and if one of them becomes the king and dominates the fight, while the other becomes the horse and carries the king, what do you think the difference between the two is? There's one answer: INSTINCT! What the being with the same power needs in order to achieve a greater power, what the one to become the king needs is that absolute lust for battle which seeks fight and desires power, shattering the enemy and destroying it without mercy! I mean that instinct for slaughter carved deep inside ourselves and sharpened completely! That's what you don't have! Any of that raw instinct! You fight with reason and try to beat others with reason! Just who are you going to slash with a sheathed sword? That's why you're weaker than me, Ichigo!" When Ichigo's hairs grows it resembles a mane, and who is the horse Hollow Ichigo or Ichigo, My guess is that they are becoming one. -- User:Shuhei Hisagi/sig

I'm guessing it will be Ichigo's hollow "ressureccion". He is already up to Ban Kai as as Shinagami, and the mask is like his 'first' release as a Hollow. dennis_o2

I think the something is missing here. Ichigo is not a hollow, the manifestation of the hollow thats been seen is a consciousness thing. Outside of that the hollow form which is where the hollow powers come from. For all purposes Ichigo is a Vizard. He has a mask allowing him access to hollow powers. Ichigo himself is not a hollow, the hollow form "reptile" is the part of him that is the hollow, they are not buddies or are on good terms they are at war with each other its the battle for control over his body. Arrancars have ressureccion which is no more then unsealing their true power, because in truth they are just hollows having gained the hollow version of Shinigami powers. Ichigo is not an Arrancar so he cant have a ressureccion. He is a Shinigami/Human that gained hollow powers. The mask is not the first release of a hollow. There is no proof of that. What is the interesting part is in a normal person you just become a hollow, the Vizards are the only beings ever to exist in the state they do. Arrancar have masks which is left over of their original hollow form. Vizards on the other hand put on masks. Ichigo's problem lies in how he hasn't truly beat his hollow self he won a battle but not the war. Which is what Shinji was trying to help him do before he took off. Not to mention Ichigo still hasn't even mastered the full capability of his zanpakuto, doesn't know kido, and doesn't know any more of a Vizards powers but the power augmentation. He doesn't use Cero or any thing. The Vizards have had a 110 years to master their zanpakuto for the lieutenants and their masks. Ichigo is gonna always be at the disadvantage when it comes to power cause he operating at the edge of what he could be capable of. The hollow form is gonna come out and if he doesn't do something its gonna control his body and he will lose that internal struggle. Salubri 02:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
