What does this new mask of Ichigo's mean? It seems he has grown even stronger, but how did he get it? Was it another occasion like the second time he confronted his Hollow, where he needed to defeat him if he wanted more power? Discuss.Gold3263301 22:49, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

I think it may have something to do with his latest transformation. Also, I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but unlike the previous times he donned his mask, the sclera in his eyes remained white. Either way though, this does mean something's different besides just the mask design (which, IMO, is inferior to his previous mask in design). Arrancar109 06:35, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

It's pretty simple really: evolution Kaihedgie 06:49, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

if u haven't noticed his new mask is the same as his 2nd hollow form's mask,i think his speed is even than before, he was so fast that yammy can't see him (not sure if it due it his size). his Tensa Zangetsu seem to have goten stronger even with out the chargeing and flip tha big yammy up side down. but i think he might need to go back to his innner world and beat his hollow-self to master his new mask. sold it be that vizard's hollow forms are like Arrancar's Resurrecciónnew. and vizard getting a new masks are like the Arrancar getting a 2nd Resurrecciónnew. what do u think of my idea...?

i wrote the stuff on top and forgot to say it i wrote it....--Ace 08:29, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Ichigo got an upgrade. we dont know what Ichigo is now capable of. he might get to use cero now we dont know. time will tell. Darkgoku 08:57, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Have you guys noticed that his Getsuga Tensho is smaller than when he used it in his originally hollow mask?? Maybe its more compressed just like his Bankai.

It seems that almost every time he uses his mask, it's different from what it was the last time he used it. For example (not saying that this has huge relevance or anything as it was in a filler) when Ichigo last used his mask in the anime, during the current arc, it was almost completely red on one half with a few bits of white left over. I think of his mask, not only as an augmentation of his power, but also somewhat a scale to which we can see his development. Nick4444 18:55, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the mask, but its got to be related to this last transformation, since its the same as when he changed while fighting Ulquiorra. As far as the Getsuga Tensho i've noticed it is often a different size. Minato88 19:23, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Its really not as simple as you might think because shirosaki (hollow ichigo) says that he is not a hollow that they are disgusting that honestly he doesnt know what he is so it leads me to believe that ichigo is not really a soul reaper either because if shirosaki is not a hollow then he and ichigo must be some other kind of being similar to the vizored so his new mask is most likely not some kind of evolution or whatever but maybe its like shirosaki said and the changing of the mask has to do with shirosaki slowly gaining more control.

Well I remember that at least in anime right after Ichigo beat hichigo in his inner world hichigo told Ichigo not to die before he shows again if he really wants to master his power or something among those lines. If this line was in manga too then I am pretty sure that it's connected to Ichigos new mask. Ergroilnin 19:29, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

So we know now that vizards can have a resurrection, so who thinks that ichigo's new form was a result of this through some accident with his innerhollow taking control. I am thinking when ichigo leaves the garganta urahara is going to help him with it, although I don't know why he would be able to I feel that is how it will go down. or there may be a new black and white some time soon, maybe in the middle of a battle who knows. or perhaps ichigo is smart enough to try and enter his inner world and get the answers for himself. that would be nice.Shillagan 23:49, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
