Well one of the main problems that come up with this twist of Zangetsu being bach is what about the young zangetsu in bankai and how did ichigo do final getsuga if Zangetsu was not Zangetsu?

Well we can assume that the young zangetsu in ichigos bankai state is also bach just younger, but we dont know why he's younger in Bankai state. But as far as the whole final getsuga goes, according to this chapter, ichigo hollow within him was hes real zanpakto the whole time. Why he was hel;ping someone impersonate him is beyond me but we can assume its just because Hichigo is just a huge ****.

But all the hints do lead to Zangetsu not being the real one the whole time.

Old man Zangetsu never taught ichigo Getsuga it was his hollow, the first time he ever used it was against byakuya when he was transforming into a hollow.

When ichigo was attempting to learn FGT he had to fight a fused version of Zangetsu and his hollow. But since they're not the same person how did they fuse? IT was because bach used Sklaverei to absorb all the retisu and reuse it. Much like Uryuu did in the soul society and that other guy did while fighting ichigo, it change their form and allowed them to use the powers that they absorbed. FGT much like a quincy vollstang when prefected may not have to take a users powers. FGT may be ichigos prematurely released quincy powers as it was a result of the fusing of his Quincy side and Hollow/Shinigami side

Here are a few helpful pictures on how ichigo different origins effect him

Made perfect sense to me the first time I read the chapter. Also explained why Zangetsu never appeared after Ichigo encountered his hollow. Take notes mangaverse. Kubo knows how to do a stinger.

Oda's still king though. Kubo's been ****ing up for 300+ chapters. I'll give credit where it's due though for hiding something THAT big in the early goings.

I did not make the pictures, they were made by different people but they still work together.

I can't really be sure how Hichigo and Tensa zangetsu were able to fuse but, I may have an idea.

Back when they first fused he said that they both were originally one person. I don't think he was lying about that. Since they both represent Ichigo's powers, they come from the same source. Also, Ichigo's inner hollow was first connected to Masaki's quincy powers before it was passed along to Ichigo, so I don't think it would be hard for it to connect to Ichigo's quincy powers either.

I knew Bach resembled Zangetsu but I didn't look any further than that. When this chapter came out I was like damn fuk me should have looked more into it. Kubo really is a genius. ^^
