so you heve the spirit particles in Hm as well as those of all the hollow that we have seen ichigo kill in HM. but having the same power as a vasto, i don't think so, although i don't think he is that far off.

Using Chad as a basis for claims on Ichigos hollow isn't fly. The only effect HM would have on anyone would be in boosting their reiryoku slightly due to the dense reishi. Ichigos hollow is, a hollow lols. If you could infact seperate the two, he would live as a normal hollow and would eventually have to begin feeding.

However as proclaimed by Grimmjows fraccion while still a hollow feeding results in power increase, and it serves as substance. Both of those exact conditions are met for ichigos hollow without feeding, but by just residing in Ichigo. Logically speaking if he's experiencing the same known circumstances for evolution inside of his body, he should be experiencing the same growth as them as well.

I would say he is...because he seems to evolve everytime we see him

The hollow inside of ichigo may have or has similar strength to a vasto, but I can't stretch this anymore until we confirm at least one vasto in the manga.

Of course urary

yea,your right ,for now is a pointless discussion,because we don't have a real prove.

I wouldn't even say it has the strength of a Vasto Lorde yet.
He's probably just at adjuchas strength at the moment, so the reason he beat Ulquiorra was because he's also got bankai.
Adjuchas + Bankai = stronger than a Vasto Lorde, I'd assume.

That or like Ichigo using the mask, he was using both their powers. And naturally he's more gifted so he was a little more of Ichigos powers. As opposed to Ichigo barely scratching the surface with his?

Is Wonderweiss a Vasto Lorde? Else it'd make sense that Ichigo would be too since they seem to have no real conscience..

Whewt22 is rite. Vasto lorde is the last level of hollow evolution and u have to eat other hollows to become one.

Just a theory but Ichigo has a huge problem with controlling his power. He has so much of it that it constantly overflows from his body. What if his inner hollow feeds off of Ichigo's vast and uncontrollable power which causes his hollow to "evolve". This wouldn't mean he'd be a typical Vasto Lorde as his hollow hasn't actually eaten any hollows but it does maintain a constant supply of quality energy as Ichigo is on par with most of the strong captains. If this is true then Ichigo's hollow is sort of like a Vasto Lorde as it's basically eating shinigami captains every day of the week which is the equivalent of hundreds upon hundreds of Gillian or dozens of Adjuchas. So my vote goes to yes although not in the typical sense since Ichigo's hollow isn't a normal hollow by any stretch of the imagination.
