Hello all!

There is a section on Ichigo's article that mentions the reason for the original Shikai Zangetsu being beneath the white portions of the blade is due to Ichigo only having Shinigami powers at the time. The exact except for reference:

"After Ichigo had his Hollow and Quincy powers absorbed by Yhwach, the outer white portion broke during his final battle with the Quincy Emperor to reveal the original form of Ichigo's Shikai, Zangetsu, underneath, due to his Shinigami powers being the only source of power remaining within him at the time."

I would like to contest, but only the grounds that I believe the information presented in the article is not provable within the manga. Simply, based on what we see in the story is the white portion breaking, and then remaining black portion being a sword that "strongly resembles" the original Shikai Zangetsu. I believe that rewording that excert to be more strictly descriptive of the manga panels would be more beneficial than what we have currently. Right now, the current excerpt seems to present speculative info, which can only have been extrapolated from the manga, rather than directly portrayed.

I'm open to discussion on this to see how the original decision was made, what we can potentially do going forward with it, whether we keep it or change it!

Also, I apologize if this is the wrong board for this sort of thing~

Edit: I'm trying to get back into contributing, so I figured I'd start somewhere!
