Most likely the Zanpakuto will have more hollow-like abilities along with more shinigami-like abilities (huge effect of some kind or another) look at the way that Hollow Ichigo used the original Zangetsu from that I think that it will still have a chain or wrapping (this was dragged from his actual zanpakuto i think) so i gather that it will be a mid ranged/melee style zanpakuto with some new abilities that he'll have to learn and possibly gaining a Cero without having to be possessed (seeing as he has to trust Hollow Ichigo now)
