Ichigo's hollow powers

[anphorus]

Well, he was resisting the process of becoming a hollow when he activated his shinigami powers to stop him becomming a hollow. Since Ichigo has hollow abilities it appears that he didn't turn shinigami quick enough and some of the hollow powers remained, turning him into a hybrid.

i doubt that urahara made Ichigo a hollow hybrid deliberately. Te pit method seems to be failry risky (they were ready to kill Ichigo if he turned hollow). I mean, if urahara created the ball-thingy in the first place, he'd probably be capable of making an other one. (Unless he was desperate, for resorces, being isolated from SS. Which, now that I think about it, does make some sense.)

I brought this up in the ep 62 thread, what do y'all think?
Apparently Urahara was an expert (or at least adept) at grafting things to souls. Well I guess we indirectly new this already since we knew about how Rukia got the hougyoku. But I think this strenghtens the idea that Urahara wanted Ichigo to become hollowish. It's not impossible that Urahara "planted" a hollow spirit inside Ichigo and used the pit to awaken it.

And to clearify some things about the transfer:
No one (in this thread at least) has said that the hougyoku actually got transfered to Ichigo. It has been theorized though that it's power somehow might have corrupted the transfer. Or as I said that it might have influenced Ichigo while he was near Rukia. These are just theories though and not very probable.

I think that with the info we have now theories 1, 6 and 4 are most probable, in that order.

I haven't seen a good answer to this question I posted yet.
The hollow Ichigo seems to be very good at fighting and has alot of general knowledge about being a shinigami it seems. I think this fact could be used as a argument for theories which involve reincarnation. Or maybe it just means that the Hollow part is like Zangetsu and travels between hosts.
