Zangetsu is Ichigo's hollowfied shinigami powers, NOT shinigami+fullbring, there's a difference. If there wasn't, I'm pretty sure Ginjo would be using a hollow's mask. Fullbring is a hollow's "residual" reiryoku, NOT reiryoku forced into the body, which happened when White "fused" with Masaki's soul.

White is NOT removable either, I'm pretty sure if it was, then Vizards would've gotten rid of their "inserted" hollows, (whereas Ichigo was already born with it), the lack of White's presence within Ichigo would've killed him, because of the "soul suicide".
