I don't know why but I think that Ichigo's inner hollow is much cooler than Ichigo is.
I mean really, for the first 15 or so episodes and then reoccurring through the series, Ichigo is this Emo depressed kid who no one can figure out. His hollow is just
this kick ass killing machine. I think that if his hollow were a separate entity, without this "Instinct" crap, with the same powers as Ichigo, his hollow would own him to hell.
Anyone else agree that Ichigo is only better due to him being the protagonist?

BUMP Someone agree with me, you can't ALL like that panzy ass Ichigo Kurosucki

Ichigo's matured throughout the storyline, Sure his inner hollow kicks ass but he still beat him didnt he? So that makes Ichigo jus as much badass as the inner nameless guy. Thought he did save his ass many times. So I dont know which one id prefer, The hollow would kill every1 an that'd be the end of the storyline, so think about it xD

I doubt ichigo's inner hollows could kill everyone. I mean if ichigo himself was able to defeat it and he can easily get raped by 5+ espada ranks not including aizen and gin you still think his inner hollow can kill them all?

Theres been alot of battles that Ichigo couldnt win and the Inner Hollow owned. Like byakuya(but it was stopped) the bounto bitch (metal doll ) and it started with Kariya..and then with Hyouri, So it all depends on the characteristics.

Lets look at facts here.

1: This story is about Ichigo maturing and becoming powerful to avenge his mother's memory, something he's been doing since Angler, due to Hollows killed his mother.

2: Inner Hollow (Hollow Ichigo) has fought Ichigo 2 times, each time he more or less had his ass handed to him.

3: Ichigo has pwnt the living **** outta IH twice now? Okay maybe once and got a freebie the first time, but regardless, he beat Inner without Zangetsu there to actually help him. Yeh, Ichi > Inner hollow.

4: Nobody tends to like seeing the crazy dude all the time. It's preferred when they do small popups.

The IH will always be there as long as ichigo keep using that mask

I think it would be cool if His hollow became a separate entity.
Actually what would be THE BOMB. Is if Ichigo took his Vaizard powers to the next level and Instead of just a mask got the full hollow appearance and a Massive power increase. It would be funny to see Ichigo smack Grimmjow with his tail. xD

What do you think?

Well that would just ruin the dam storyline wouldnt it?

Indeed... It's contradictory to the point of "Blending Shini and Hollow together to form a force great than either seperate"

Yeah well that's true. >.>

I just wonder how Ichigo will be able to EVER beat the stronger opponents. I mean he is gonna have to take it up to the next level, otherwise how will he ever beat people like Aizen, Gin, Tousen etc. He couldn't even kill Ulquiorra going full out max power. Just have to wait till more manga/anime comes out i guess. =\

Scary thing is Aizen's eventually gonna use the Orb on himself and become an Artificial Vaizard...

How do we know he isn't already? So much speculation. >.< GET TO WORK KUBO YOU LAZY BASTARD!

He's probably gonna wait till the orb's power is maxed out before he uses it on himself...

eh probably
