Yes, Ichigo's powers are special, but that doesn't change the fact that for almost the entire series his hollow powers worked exactly like the Vizards did barring the Ulquiorra fight. You say Zangetsu has a different kind of power, but it obviously doesn't. It works the same exact way and does the same exact thing a zanpakuto does. I mean it has two releases just like a zanpakuto and gives Ichigo an ability just like a zanpakuto. If they are different, then that means they are different in reality only but not in nature. Yes, as we know now, Ichigo is the only character in the series with a constant release Shikai, even at the end of the series.
