@Xilinoc ok so if ichigo has had a 'fake' zanpaktou then how did he have it anyway? he was killing hollows and doing soul burial before he went to SS and i dnt remember hearing that arrancar can do that stuff. Even if his zanpaktou was like an arrancars sword, why did ichigo have a soul reapers outfit? just by saying it wasnt a real zanpaktou HAS caused the confusion. It all made sense till these recent chapters, or have i completely missed something?

also rewatching old bleach, ichigos shift into bankai mode changed, first time the bandages on the hilt wrapped round him, massive white reiatsu surrounded him and a dust cloud lol now he just activates black reiatsu round his sword instead...
