A) So in chapter 658, we see Hiyori don her hollow mask and summon three " Cero balls " that become this wide beam of destruction (though it had no effect on Gerald). The interesting thing about this Cero technique is that it's probably unique to her. We've seen this kind of thing with the Arrancar, when some of them used their own Cero (Cero Doble with Nel, Machine Gun Cero with Starrk, Cero Sincerito with Pesche and Dondachakka). Could it be that the other Vaizards or at least some of them can use a unique Cero ability?

B) From what we know, Tosen was a Captain-class Shinigami. He had a Zanpakuto with two Shikai releases and a Bankai. Then, somehow (I guess with the Hogyoku), Aizen gave him Hollow powers. So at that moment, Tosen could hollowfy and even perform Resurrection. Now, could the same thing be done to the Vaizards?

Honestly I don't think so.

Another thing that you probably also have noticed is that Vaizards don't bankai with their hollow powers. Something I never understood but perhaps there's a reason to it.

Also Shinji and the others have shown poor hollowfication skills. Rose and Love were only able to maintain their masks for 5 minutes at a time. Which given the heat they gave Ichigo was kind of hypocritical.

Also they were failed experiments by Aizen standards. While Tosen hollowfication was a product of further years of experimenting and ultimately maybe using the Hougyokou. And even so it proved to be fatal to him. His body literally exploded when he was taken down and Komamura was talking to him.

Some people have confused that scene and said it was Aizen that killed Tosen, but we were never really shown anything pointing to that. Most likely when Tosen used his Resurrección he created such a strain on his body and soul, that when he was wounded to the point he reversed back to normal form, what happened was what Urahara had explained during his cure of Masaki.

When he referred to something called soul suicide. That happens when the soul essence of a shinigami and hollow fuse in such a uncontrolled way that they destroy each other.

And perhaps that's why you don't see Vaizards use Resurreccion. It would cause such a strain in their bodies and souls that it would be a one way ticked to the grave.

This is how I see it.
