Yeah if Kubo had it planned from the beginning 😱. But it looks like Ichigo finally has true control over his powers (hence why I don't think there is a mask, perhaps sort of similar to an arrancar abilities after the hollow breaks it's mask to become an arrancar.). Overall this week I give it an 8 out of 10. Very solid chapter overall.

EDIT

Xil I also realized Ichigo's new appearance is similar to the merged Zangetsu and Tensa Zangetsu.

Kubo must have done this on purpose, too many coincidences.
