Talk:Zangetsu (Zanpakutō spirit)

I think that the note about possibly being an adjuchas should be removed, because of the paragraph before stating:"If Ichigo were ever to turn into a complete hollow, it would be the end of the world, according to the Shinigami." I think that would be enough to illustrate his power, and anyway, how would a mere adjuchas be the end of the world when even Rukia can kill one? Wouldnt that be a decrease in power, because Ichigo easily "kills" an adjuchas (it turns out the adjuchas is still alive later, but thats what you get for not releasing Bankai). If it says anything about a possible hollow class, I think it should say possibly Vasto Lorde.Crimmastermind 06:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking of the same thing

Adjuchas-class or higher?
I'm not sure if the "end of the world" statement is even in the manga, but I won't touch it for now. However, I have removed claims of Hollow Ichigo being an adjuchas or vasto lorde. Technially, both classes are made up of multiple hollows, with one's willpower in control. While his strength is at least as strong as an adjuchas-class hollow, Hollow Ichigo is still technically a singular hollow, since he hasn't consumed other souls or hollows in all of Bleach canon.

I believe he would be a vasto lorde singular hollow, but I would be asking only an theory or opinion. Maybe Hollow Ichigo could already be an inner self vasto lorde class, I don't think there could be a possiblity of it. A singular vasto lorde? IMPOSSIBLE, maybe possible. Maybe he never had a class to begin with, maybe not.Dekoshu 03:04, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Maybe Hollow Ichigo (Ogichi) maybe is a Adjuchas or a Vasto Lorde.
I watched the way he fights and he may be an Adjuchas or a Vasto Lorde. It still not that simple to consider Hollow Ichigo Shirosaki either of these superior classes. Thank you for removing the claims(no sarcasm), Arrancar109.

I agree with you, Crimmastermind. I think it truly should say Vasto Lorde (Enormous King). What would happen if Hollow Ichigo was/is TRULY either an Adjuchas-class and/or Vasto Lorde-class Hollow? But no matter what, I'll always consider him ONE of the Adjuchas or a Vasto Lordes, either of them are good enough to keep him happy. Dekoshu 03:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

His name is NOT Ogihci.
Look here. A mirror writing is different from a backward spelling. Now let's take a word like bid. What is the backward spelling of this word? dib. Now what is the mirror writing? Same, bid. The backward spelling of Ichigo's name and the mirror writing are different things altogether. And most importantly, the mirror writing was in Japanese. I forgot to mention this in the article, but a Japanese mirror writing will deviate from an English backward spelling even further. Therefore, the Hollow Ichigo's name is not Ogihci Ikasoruk, and as he claims, we can say that he actually has no name. :(His Wrath falls from the Heavens. :Starshade) 06:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde
No, he can't be. Menos are the result of mass inter-devouring between hollows, which has, so far, not happened. So he couldn't be an Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde. He is only a normal hollow, which just happens to be Vasto Lorde-level or higehr.

Bankai

 * Advanced Growth Rate: Like Ichigo, Hollow Ichigo's most astounding ability is his growth rate: he grasps the basic control of advanced techniques in days where it would take even months or years for the most gifted Shinigami, even Learning things faster than Ichigo. One example is the Bankai of his Zanpakutō, which he learns in three days alongside Ichigo with the assistance of a special device invented by Urahara. So far, Hollow Ichigo is the only Hollow known to have a Bankai.

While he is the only Hollow proven to have one, by deductive logic, you can know there are others. In the Soul Society Arc, someone remarks that Kenpachi is the only captain in he history of Soul Society to not have mastered Bankai, or something to that effect. Then, there are captains in the vaizard, so one could assume they had Bankai, and through them, their hollow, when it was prevalent, also had Bankai. I say this because Hollow Ichigo says he got Bankai at the same time Ichigo did, signifying Ichigo's having it was the reason for him to have it.

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!
he's my favorite character, he rules!!

Ichigo vs Ulquiorra
I think the section which say: ''While he is quite confident that he can defeat both Yammy and Ulquiorra together, Ichigo in his Vizard state could not inflict a scar on Ulquiorra. It is assumed that this is either because the Hollow's power is absolute but Ichigo is yet to learn how to use that power fully, or simply because the Hollow was underestimating Ulquiorra, and only recently gained the power to match him.'' is misleading, because it implies that Ichigo's attacks cannot damage Ulqiorra, much like his first attacks on Kenpachi. However, this is not true, since when Ichigo fired his Getsuga Tenshō at Ulquiorra, he said afterwards that it was too powerful for him to stop (though I admit that he managed to dodge it and was not really hurt as a result of the blast). Still, at least reword the paragraph (under trivia) so that it better reflects this fact.Crimmastermind 06:45, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well I wrote the paragraph, so I guess I should be responsible for it. Okay, but until recently the fact that Ichigo's full power Getsuga couldn't even hurt Ulquiorra is true. So I think I'll just add that part (which states that even though he was unhurt Ulquiorra couldn't block it either) to the paragraph. What do you think? :(His Wrath falls from the Heavens. :Starshade) 21:30, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Getsuga doesn't work against Ulquiorra, even now. I think since the Grimmjow fight, Ichigo has gotten stronger, which means his hollow has gotten stronger.  That's why he was able to crack Ulquiorra's sword and force him into releasing.  Whether or not the hollow itself could beat Ulquiorra is immaterial, since Ichigo is (firmly?) in control.Big red01027 21:44, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Vasto Lorde or...
I don't think he's anything below a Vasto Lorde,but could he be a... Never mind,it's stupid.

GohanRULEZ 21:37, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

This is weird but...
Is it possible for him to be some type of....Arramcar?

Arramcar = NO. Arrancar = MAYBE. Mental/Spiritual Manifestation of Ichigo's Inner Hollow Powers = DEFINITELY.--Renji Abarai 07:40, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

gohanRULEZ 06:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

He is an arrancar!!!

gohanRULEZ 19:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

For him to be an arrancar he would have had to been a hollow in the first place and then gained what resembles shinigami powers. His powers arent even close to a hollows so therefore he is a shinigami who has gained hollow powers making him technically a vizard. Salubri 19:12, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

.It is simply entirely possible that he is going through a whole Sado situation. Sado's hollowesk power changed in Hueco Mundo into it's true form, so Ichigo's hollow may be doing the exact same thing, it is his True hollow Power and his True Hollow form. YTOfficer01 20:11 19th March 2009

Yes! Thank You!! gohanRULEZ 20:14, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

ummm...your welcome?YTOfficer01 20:32 19th March 2009

Maybe...
I think this will be the time when hollow ichigo will return. Remember what he said to Ichigo during their last battle(the training with the vizards) ? "If you really want to control my power, take care NOT TO DIE until I return, Ichigo!!!" - Bleach chapter 221, page 17. His long hair may be the prefiguration of his hollow form again. If you will remember his hollow form has long hair. It's just a theory but I really think he will become more of a hollow now. --Agate genbu 15:01, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not maybe. Anyone with enough sense will recognize that it's the inner Hollow manifesting again. :(His Wrath falls from the Heavens. :Starshade) 07:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

New Cero
This may be stupid but I think that since Ulquiorra's Cero is called Cero Oscuras meaning Dark or Black Cero, then Ichigo's Cero should be called Cero Blanco meaning White Cero (because of it white appearance). Hollow Ichigo is know for using white attacks so I'm pretty sure the color is white. The reason I say that is because most of the words that have anything to do with Hueco Mundo are Spanish words. Just a suggestion. --- Klross1.


 * There is no proof as of yet that Ichigo's cero is white. I mean yeah, it is possible that it will be, either stated by a character, or shown in the Anime (MUCH later, unfortunately), but do not forget that manga pages are naturally black and white. Just because Ichigo's new cero looks white in the manga doesn't confirm it until someone from the story (or Tite Kubo) states it. Don't forget, in the manga pages, just about every cero looks white, so it's too soon to assume that Ichigo's new cero is white. Arrancar109 19:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * We can't take the luxury of inventing the techniques name, just because it seems to fit. If it hasn't been given an official name, then, just like Ichigo's Hollow, we can presume it has no name, or at least that it doesn't have one yet.Lia Schiffer 01:02, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Amagai Arc - Hollow Ichigo's Grin
I think it symbolizes his smugness at Ichigo realizing how strong his hollow powers - thus, Hollow Ichigo's powers - are. Balmung6 00:25, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Evolution
This ties into the Adjuchas, Vasto Lorde thing, but is there any way hollow ichigo could've possibly evolved? His new hollow form leads me to believe that possibly, he has previously as Adjuchas, and now hes a Vasto Lorde. Killa0norris 00:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
