It all makes sense when I think back to when Hollow Ichigo told IchigoI am Zangetsu. Hollow Ichigo has always been there the true source of Ichigo's power. Also when Ichigo went to get FGT in bankai, Hollow Ichigo had to be torn from Ichigo's body instead of coming from 'Zangetsu' himself.

Good chapter !
