@ Brother. Srry I did not respond sooner. Anime ep 13, Manga Chapter 44(I'm pretty sure thats the right one tho it could be 43). Urahara said it was Ichigo who influenced and awoken Chads and Orihimes powers. In regards to Ichigos Hollification, it could have been his Resurreccion, but that is speculation and like u said, it is subject to elucidation. Well, I'll ask u a question. What would u call the form he took while training with the Vizards?

None of that makes Hollow Ichigo a Lordes. A Lordes is a class of Hollow known as a Menos Grande. They r extremely rare; in fact there r believed to be ten or less in existence, and according to Toshiro, they r stronger then the average Shinigami captain. In order for a Hollow to become a Menos it must first devour an unspecified amount of other Hollows. After enough is eaten a Hollow will transform into a Gillian, the first class of Menos. If this Gillian is special enough, it will retain intelligence and This Gillian must then devour more Hollows, preferably other Menos. Then it can change into an Adjuchas. Supposedly, if this Adjuchas devour 1,000 other Hollows, preferably Menos, it can attain the rank of Vasto Lordes, the strongest of all Hollows. This has been stated by Shawlong Kufang in Anime ep 167, manga chapter(s) 284, 285, and/or 286. I apologize as I am not sure which.

So please tell me. When and how has Hollow Ichigo or Ichigo devoured thousands of Hollows in order to become a Lordes. When changed he is human sized and strong, so dumb people(I am not calling u dumb)like to label him a Vasto Lordes.

And none of this has anything to do with Chads Grandpa being a Hollow!
