No, there was no scene that showed them talking from an outside view, but it is clear that Shaz was talking to Ichigo.

1.) Akon tore open the Garganta portal (though, I wonder how the hell he managed to do that with his bare hands) and apologized to Ichigo, who was in the Garganta, for taking so long.

2.) Akon collapses and Shaz is standing on the outside of the now broken barrier that was erected to protect them.

3.) Shaz stares directly at the person who comes out of the Garganta (Ichigo) and says, "Huh? Who are you?" and attempts to introduce himself and his powers.

4.) The person from the Garganta (Ichigo) charges forward and attacks and the next scene shows an explosion from that room.

5.) Everybody looks up in shock and from the smoke, Ichigo's form is very briefly seen in the smoke that's coming from the explosion.

Are you telling me that this is merely speculation and not an actual factual explanation of the events that unfolded in that chapter?
