Found this clip of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULL5L...rom=PL&index=4
Look at how he moves and his facial expressions (smiles, eyes, etc). Very Hollow Ichigo. I keep thinking (and this could be because I haven't seen the episodes where Ichigo regains his powers in a long time) that what Urahara does to Ichigo to help him regain his powers doesn't create the Hollow side of him but actually simply unleashes it as it has always been there. The first time being the fight with Renji in the world of the living. |
just watched those episodes again and i have to agree. after he initially got owned (like usual..), hichigo's personality and style definitely shown through (along with the usual power boost).

Unfortunately, if that happens, I imagine it'll only make the parallels between this and Yu-Yu Hakusho even stronger (which is bound to increase the number of critics).  |
it seems they are already setting up for that:
