What everyone seems to miss here is that, unless I missed something, Kubo, nor the manga ever applied that Hollow Ichigo is gone. We have just not seen him since Ichigo lost his powers. Also, why would this chapter bother showing a vaguely (not denying it though) familiar hollow resembling someone (or thing!) who (or that) is supposed to be gone?
