Alright, for anyone who read this, would like anyone else's idea on how its gonna develop. The way I see it, Either Ichigo goes full hollow psyco form, or he is actually defeated here, and he actually see Inoue lose control and just utterly vaporize grimjaw. Personally I hope the latter that way it would kinda be the HA statement to everyone who doubted she could keep up anymore.

Well, I'm waiting for the M7 release (I'm a moron), but...

Shouldn't Ichigo be running out of hollow-power soon? He wasted like, 5 seconds just staring at Inoue

good ole strength increase without explanation.

I was hoping his solution to the timing-out-problem was to use the mask for like, tenths-of-a-second at a time, but as usual, manga doesn't listen to me.

________________

hahahah, that would actually be brilliant, i see the explanation as being something about protecting Inoue much like how he destroyed everything in soul society for rukia. He is now doing it for Inoue in mundo.

I figured that it would be explained by saying that since he is in Hueco Mundo and his form is a hollow he could hold it longer since it's you know the hollow's home.

Ooo, very nice. It seems so obvious, that just might be it.

that actually does sound pretty good. Wonder if it will also turn out to be that Ichigo's hollow has more of a chance to take over.

Actually it is explained in the chapter why his mask is like that now... before Ichigo wanted to take the mask off as soon as possible (fighting for his friends). Now he is fighting purely by instinct and refuses to let his mask off so that he can beat Grimmjow to a bloody pulp. You can tell that Orihime saw this and Ichigo himself wants to battle. In other words, he is running purely on instinct.

i remember reading that but I didnt think it would matter in terms of the mask staying on longer. But it does make sense because Inoue looked a little scared/surprised when she saw Ichigo in this chapter and even the previous ones.

yah like nin said, they explain in the chapter that hes able to maintain the form longer because he actually wants to keep the mask on, this is most likely due to his desire to protect inoue (as seen by him taking grimjaw's nail bullet thingies lol)...the irony is that in this form inoue seems really afraid and cant believe that it's actually him...(last page ichigo sees this and looks kinda hurt...poor him lol)

PS: im kinda wondering about that ninja looking hollow (espada?)

________________

the busty looking one with sword thing on her back? Im hoping she'll be joining in the fray soon, that weapon looks coooooooool

about the mask, I guess it's different too because he's wearing it to protect inoue. I thought it looks a little more rounded, scary, but more humanlike now. Maybe that means he has more control over it?

lol the ninja espada was humorous to me at first. I mean it was kinda like the hollows answer to Matsumoto. But here is another question I wanted to ask. How do they escape Mundo. I mean compared to all the fights right now, its obvious that they are absolutely no match for Aizen and them at all yet. So they have to escape somehow. Do you think its Soul Society who shows up, the Vizards or maybe even kinda the rebel unit with Ichigo's pops and crew.

i think theyll all eventually end up in there somehow, at the very least soul society will be there to get them out

You REALLLYY think thats going to happen? In manga theres always some alternative to common sense. Well anyway i dont really know why they call it common sense. ITS NOT VERY COMMON! But Anyway... someone will probably come and save him...

Well anyway i predict that somethign will happen to give ichigo mroe power... like ALWAYS... manga is usally pretty predictable.

AND i thin kthat he can keep his mask on longer because of what happened to Rukia. He dosnt want Orihime to end up like her?? maybe??
