Well.... there's really no proof for or against it since that chapter is the newest. I can see it being possible, but there's just no info.

I know. I just find it really hard to beleive that Tenken spat out a brand new technique with a name within the minutes? its been since the pills were ingested. I really think people take the "Hollowfication for an instant"-concept way too far in regards to the actual effect it has on the Bankai.

EDIT: Besides, the caption says it all at the beginning of the chapter. "A new Wisdom King to match his new look!!" <--- Suggests to me that the Hollowfication pills = new Bankai look is just the newest in a long line of crack theories.

Oh, I certainly don't think this "Dangai Joue" has anything to do with the hollowfication. That's ridiculous. I'd sooner attribute it to the Human Transformation Technique. The new face on Myo'o could possibly be related to the pill, but once again, no proof one way or the other, maybe 557 will give us that.

Point well made. I'm sure Kubo will elaborate in the coming chapters. Yeah, I myself have NO idea how people are claiming this is related to the Shineiyaku. Unlike Daiguren Hyorinmaru, there's nothing remotely Hollow- or Arrancar-like about it. It seems more to me that this is the appearance of Kokujo Tengen Myo'o without its armor on.

Even with Hyorinmaru, the mask was the only thing remotely Hollow about it and it was already beginning to crack and fall apart. The captain's Bankai have all gone through power-ups, and as Ichigo has shown us, when a Bankai matures, its appearance changes slightly. That's all I think it is personally, based on what Kubo's given us.
