I feel like everyone here wants to see Ichigo's new powers take on a more Quincy-esque form. To me, it would make a lot more sense if Ichigo's new powers were more Hollow-like. I remember Yhwach-Zangetsu saying that he "went as far as to becoming [Ichigo's] primary source of power" and that he had been holding Hollow Ichigo back. Also, remember Nimaiya said that Hollow Ichigo was actually Ichigo's Zanpakuto and not Yhwach-Zangetsu (back when Nimaiya was just starting to forge Ichigo's new Zanpakuto and telling Ichigo that Yhwach-Zangetsu had been a fake the whole time)? And now, looking at the new chapter, there is a scene where Ichigo says he won't Zangetsu to lend his power while showing an image of Y-Zangetsu and there is a scene where Ichigo says he won't ask Zangetsu to get out of his way while showing an image of Hollow Ichigo. I don't know about you guys, and this is all just my opinion, but it would make more sense to me if Ichigo's new powers take on a more Hollow-like nature.

Disclaimer: I am NOT making any claims or assumptions on his new Zanpakuto's powers. I'm just saying what I think should be the theme behind Ichigo's own innate abilities. For example, I would love for Ichigo to regain his Hollow mask. Additionally, I would love it even more if he learned to use Cero, Bala, and Sonido (maybe even Pesquisa) without Hollow Ichigo taking over his body. But anyway, in terms of his new Zanpakuto, there shouldn't be any question that it will incorporate a combination of Quincy, Hollow, and Shinigami abilities. I just hope that the new Zanpakuto leans more towards Hollow and Shinigami abilities. And I gotta be honest (and, again, this is just my OPINION), I think Quincies and their abilities are kind of lame...
