Ichigo is 99% chimp, you know... ;P

Anyway, I've got another suggestion concerning Ichigo and the moon. During Ichigo's fight with Yammy, in Karakura Town, Ulquiorra is surprised at how Ichigo's Reiatsu keeps fluctuating from weak to stronger than Ulquiorra's own. This was probably caused by the supressed powers of Zangetsu, fighting to be released.

We know that the Moon's orbit around Earth causes the oceans water levels to fluctuate between (low)ebb and (high)tide, so I thought the referrence between the two made sense: Hollow Ichigo with his high-tide of power Vs. the old man's efforts to maintain a low-ebb.
