On a different note, more evidence to the Kubo-is-a-moron argument; how can Ichigo not remember anything from being in his 2nd hollow form against Ulq one episode (didn't remember stabbing Ishida or anything about it), but then remember his transformation the next (mental image of himself while fighting Yammi)? Consistency is for amateurs.
He knew he lost control. how is that inconsistent?
the Image of him could have been for the audience.
I'm all for calling out Kubo, but lets not try so hard to do so we nitpick every tiny detail which may not even have any problems with it.
I think it was so bad ass at the end when byu cut yammys foot off lol.
I kind of see it as this. You are sleep walking and you wake up holding a sandwich. First guess is what the fuck am I doing here. You try to think oh maybe I just got caught up in the moment an dozed off. Then you notice the half eaten sandwich in your hands. That's when you come in to realize your inner hollow was making itself an sandwich.
More or less what was probably going threw ichigo's mind.
My inner hollow makes the Orihime equivalent make him the sandwich, no fucking making his own sandwich.
My inner hollow drags people from their bed and tosses people into live cameras.
I just have a question: For those who think that the top 4 Espada were VLs, what does that make Ichigo when hes in his hollow mode? He basically did enough damage to one shot Ulquiorra, so you have to figure there is something above that ya know?
The top four were not Vasto Lorde. Unless Kubo pulls something out of his ass, which he might!, the VL should be in the next arc of the manga.
It is like all other manga, they have certain villians and then at the end when you think it might be over a newer and stronger villian(s) comes along.
Next arc should be Vasto Lorde vs 0 Division wherever the King's Key takes you.
The Royal Guard?
Edit: Nevermind the rest of what I posted.
Why would Ichigo hollow get stronger when he is almost dead anyway? Hollow normally don't get upgraded when you kill/beat them.
You forget this is the main character. And the subsequent plotkai that follows. Also the fact that he's not a full hollow as well. Actually if you think back, every single near-death -> hollow situation Ichigo as been in, he's came out much stronger. Urahara cutting his soul-sleep chain in the Shattered Shaft, fight with Renji (Hollow mask formed around his chest, protecting him from death), fight vs Byakuya when his hollow fully manifested, the fight to become a Vizard, and his most recent fight with Sad Clown Man.
I understand it's ichigo hollow taking over when human ichigo is weak, but he was already full hollow during the vizard training.
