Edit: For some unknown reason, when I came to Animecrazy I decided to not use any type of puncuation, which resulted in shitty post. I'm going to fix this up.

This has been thought of many times, but there really has been no proof that it's actually true. In the lastest Bleach Chapters there was evidence to suggest that he may very well be a Vasto Lorde. But I don't think that is the whole case. Ichigo's new form looks like a Vasto Lorde and has the strength of one, but the catch is he still uses a sword. Vasto Lorde's are NOT Arrancar and do not have Zanpakuto, this means that Ichigo is something more than that, more than a Vizard and possibly a new type of race altogether.

'Why do you think he's any different from any other Vizard?' You ask, well that's because the way Ichigo's Hollow was created was much different from the way the Vizard were created. Ichigo lost his Shinigami powers and had to gain them back, to do this he had to train with Urahara. Tessai severed Ichigo's Chain of Fate which began the Encroachment and was comepletely eaten. However, Ichigo's change to a Hollow was very different from what it should've been as his mask was forming while his body was still in tact, as opposed to his body turning first and the mask last. This meant he was resisting -- though I think it could have been more than that.

That's really all there is too it now, if anyone has a theory on why or why not his Hollow is a Vasto Lorde or a new type please explain it here.
