Talk:Zangetsu (Zanpakutō spirit)

Kill everything and anything he sees?!
Where in the world is that stated in the manga? He clearly stated during the Vizard training that he would only take over if Ichigo couldn't man up, prove his dominance, and keep himself from dying or else he'd become a mindless Hollow. The Hollow stated in Deicide that his goal was to protect Ichigo, as he did in the SS arcs and on the Dome. Don't tell me he said it in a non-canon filler arc or fan speculation. He never said he desired to take the crown; he'd only do it out of necessity. He's not a separate entity, he doesn't have outside goals; he reflects a part of Ichigo's personality and Hollow powers. Its called "visual metaphor"/literary symbolism.
