[Discussion] Little confused on latest chapter of bleach

[NArutouzzi]

Ok so i think i figured most of it out, the hollow in ichigo was always his zanpakto, and the guy "zangetzu" is the quincy leader and was just pretending to be ichigo's zanpakto this whole time? Oyea pardon my spelling on the names and what not lol but if som1 could tell me if im right or if im close. Thank you, and please don't bash me for not fully understanding whats going on.

Listen, Juha Bach is the Quincy leader whom, a long time ago, gave his power to other people creating more Quincy. Ichigo has Quincy blood so Zangetsu is really that Quincy energy within him manifested into an individual form (Zangetsu). The reason why Zangetsu is younger than present Juha Bach is because remember when I said he gave power a long time ago? That's why. He has been posing to be Ichigo's zanpaktou this entire time when really Hichigo (white dude) was his shinigami powers.

When Ichigo was born, the quincy power was superior to the shinigami hollow(the shingami and hollow has been fused as one since birth). When Rukia gave Ichigo her powers, Ichigo's shinigami-hollow powers bloomed. The quincy power quickly began to absorb the shinigami-hollow powers allowing it to pose as a zanpaktou and spirit. The white hollow Ichigo is the true spirit and Ichigo's sword is supposed to be white.

Yes your correct..the old guy is part of ichigo but the hollow was his true sword.

The Zangetsu in Ichigo's inner world was NOT his zanpaktou. It was the manifestation of Ichigo's Quincy powers. It was pretending to be Ichigo's zanpaktou all along. As to why it resembles Juha Bach from 1000 years ago is currently unknown.

Ichigo's Hollow has been Ichigo's zanpaktou all along.
