er... whats with all this spoiler i thought the manga n anime thread is already separated >_<

stop with the spoiler tags. this manga thread was created to talk about the manga and everybody visiting this thread is assumed to have read the latest chapters, unless they want to read spoilers.

Hollow Ichigo was never good. he the opposite of Ichigo and is a hollow. we haven't seen any "good" hollows so far so we can assume they are all pure evil beings. Hollow Ichigo is merely blabbling about how Ichigo can improve. if Kishimoto didn't do this we wouldn't be seeing anymore Ichigo.
Ichigo saw Kenpachi in his subconcious mind probably because his hollow reminded him of Kenpachi. Ken had no reason to fight and fought just for the fun of it and to obtain more power. Hollow Ichigo was saying something along the lines of this, instinct is all thats needed to seek out a battle.

Yeah. I think setting the ground rules like that regarding spoiler tags would make much more sense. Or else there wouldn't be any point in separating the two threads.

Anyway, the point "Imaginary Kenpachi" made was obvious. Kenpachi gains power because he loves to fight. Ichigo fights because he needs power to protect the people he cares about. Either way, they both have to seek out battles. ANd that's what makes them similar.

how come all the sudden Kenpachi appears ???

Whoa, since when you became a mod?

It's a dream within a dream. Ichigo was dreaming when he got stabbed and the vision of Kenpachi appeared giving him advice. Who or what Kenpachi represents, I don't know. But there are some who speculate that this could be Zangetsu trying to help. As for me, I dunno.

It's a long story. It all started one night when a dark haired girl in black garb appeared in my room. And well, to cut a long story short, my house was attacked by some weird creature and the girl got hurt protecting me. Then in order to help me stop the creature, called a "forum troll", the girl hit me with her "banhammer" and I gained all her powers and my own banhammer. I used my new found powers to "ban" that forum troll. The rest, as they say, is history.

unfortunately... kenpachi in ichigo's world is only a hallucination...
later on,once he understands everything... he starts 2 overpower the hollow within himself...

wooot
a Forumgami =X
so do u have anything like a monster reside withing you

I bet the Ban-kai power is that he bans so fast you cannot see it coming.

huh.....a Forumzard....??

lol.....good 1...

u dun even know u got banned by him....

well ichigo finally overcome tat hollow self, and has currently return to real world

i wonder if "cero" is a high level hollow skill, it forced that vaizard to transfrom into hollow form...looks very cool though when Hollowed Ichi did that

looks cool but it looks like hollow-ichigo using some hollow kidou skill. the part wif only hollow mask wif black background was cool though

You know, i kinda like the way Ichigo better when he's in the hollow form.

the mask made him cool eh?

Actually, it's the whole thing.
He has pwnage tattoos, not to mention big arms with those spiky shits coming out.
It's like totally uber man.

The only time I saw the Cero was...

1. Noob Ichigo fighting the big big Hollow. (I forgot the name)

2. When the first arrancar came down to kill ichigo but Uruhara came in to counter with "a power equal with a Cero" (Could be a cero itself, could be something else)

3. Full Hollow Ichigo fighting the Viazard.

Now, if the viazard got shocked and needs to transform, and uruhara (Hura-hara) can just counter in a blink of an eye.... What does that makes Uruhara???

hmmm, din tat fatass allancar used it when they first came to earth?

Somehow that sounds familiar

Didn't even know when the heck u became mod! Haha...anyway, gratz
