@ViVaVergil I could live with that; Quincy defensive abilities plus Hollow offensive abilities would make for quite unique battles. Let's be honest though, EVERYONE wants to see a new Hollow mask. In terms of the new Zangetsus, I think that Ichigo's belief that both Yhwach-Zangetsu and Hollow Ichigo are Zangetsu is what caused his new Zanpakuto to be two blades. When Ichigo put his soul into his soon-to-be Zanpakuto during the final part of forging it, Ichigo believed in both Yhwach-Zangetsu and Hollow Ichigo. Had Ichigo condemned Yhwach-Zangetsu for deceiving him and restricting his power from reaching its full potential prior to putting his soul into his Zanpakuto, I think Ichigo would have attained a single Buster-Sword-like Zanpakuto. And now I realize that none of what I just said about his Zanpakuto really relates to what you said about it but I can't remember what else I wanted to say. FML.
