It might be just me, but is anyone reminded too much of hollow ichigo?

1) White hair

2) HOLLOW EYES (gasp)

Plus the wicked smile that Hollow Ichigo usually has is present on Kugo's face. There's something unnatural about this Bankai, and I feel it's completely alien to the usual idea of Zanpakuto. It's something else.
