Okay, BROTHER BAN-KAI, I am going to go right ahead and issue you with a crack theory warning. Take it elsewhere, seriously, we are not putting-up with terrible mental gymnastics because YOU have an issue accepting that Hollow Ichigo is gone. There is not an ounce of reasoning in your entire paragraph, It's just twisting otherwise unlinked events and trying to justify what you believe. It was repeatedly said that Ichigo LOST ALL HIS POWERS. This including his Shinigami powers and his Hollow power.

Indeed, I fail to see the point of your entire argument. "Ichigo doesn't have access to his powers" = "He doesn't have powers". Ichigo isn't going to get a new Zanpakuto when he regains his power. He's going to get Zangetsu back, which means that somewhere inside Ichigo's soul, Zangetsu still exists but because Ichigo doesn't have ANY spiritual power, he can't access Zangetsu.

So as the case stands, Ichigo lost all his powers, either accept it or take it elsewhere. We are not going indulge your delusions.
