[Balling like a fool]

Also, another interesting tid-bit (god I want some tim-bits =O) is that none of the Vizard have a seperation in their mask, that we've seen so for. I'm curious as to what that means. Based on the theories above, it would suggest that he is in more control of his hollow powers than the Vizards. That doesn't sound plausible to me, I think it's more likely that without realizing it, he's losing control of his hollow, and we'll see another internal struggle during this fight. The fact that Ichigo is using his mask WAY more often than he's ever been able to seems to me to be an indication of him losing control. Also, Orihime's reaction to masked Ichigo, It didn't seem like she was surprised that he had a mask, but more along the lines of him not seeming like Ichigo anymore. There was also a big change in his mask at the time of his fight with Grimmjow, coinciding with Orihime's reaction.
