What is up with Ichigo Kurosaki?

[orangeapples]

Spoiler

If Ichigo's powers are half Shinigami and half hallow; people are genetically half of their father and half of their mother, and Ichigo's father is a high leveled shinigami...

what does that make his mother?

 

[Wayte]

She's human. The half-hollow thing, if I'm recalling correctly, was because of some training thing >.>

Though now I'm having to work unnaturally hard to keep the image of that..."relationship"...out of my head.

 

[rokkolpo]

his mom is human.
he just got hollowization (yes it's called that)

when he died (i believe shinji purposely killed him,in order to make him able of hollowization)he was to fight his inner self I.E. his hollow self.

after beating him he takes control of his hollow powers and is granted Vizard (meaning one who can take of his mask, or something like that)

He's hollow because he became a Shinigami at the same moment that he became a hollow.
That's why he's both.

Also, I don't think it's ever said that he is half shinigami half hollow. He's still human.

DUH.

Literally facepalm.

Hallow powers are latent in everyone. Just like how shinigami powers are. They both need to be awakened. Genetics has nothing to do with it.

makes me wonder if his dad is still human.

 

[mangus]

much more confused by the fact that his dad is a captain and therefore already dead.

Care to explain what this is in reference to?

 

[rokkolpo]

he just got hollowification (yes it's called that)

when he died (i believe shinji purposely killed him,in order to make him able of hollowification)he was to fight his inner self I.E. his hollow self.

after beating him he takes control of his hollow powers and is granted Vizard (meaning one who can take of his mask, or something like that)

It is actually called "hollowification".

And Vizard means "masked". the root word is "visor", with "visored" being "masked", and "Vizard" being a rough translation someone made.

really i thought i read it somewhere. oh well it's the internet,most things here are lies.

 

[Scikosomatic]

Hes half hollow and half shinigami, because when he finally got his own shinigami powers, at that same instant he also became a hollow...hence the mas AND the sword when he came out of the pit. That's why he's not even the same as a vaizard, and why he has TWO beings inside of him: Zangetsu and the hollow Ichigo. WHAT I'm saying is that, unlike the Vaizards, he gained both powers at the EXACT same time.
As for his mother, I haven't been reading the manga, but I personally suspect that she may have been an upperclass shinigami, and that that is why his father fled to the human world, Karakura town specifically....if you didn't know, that town has a high amount of spirit energy, which is why that's where shit always hits the fan lol.

It was manga first

He's hollow because he became a Shinigami at the same moment that he became a hollow.

Maybe a crossover... like a shinuman. or a humagami.

Hollow powers and Shinigami powers are NOT latent in everyone.

Only a small percentage of the population has sufficient spiritual pressure to become a shinigami.

And only when the chain of fate is severed will a humans spirit pressure mutate, under high stress from loneliness, into that of a hollow.

The vast majority of people are human, stay human, pass into soul society as human, and reincarnate again, as humans.

But everyone has an inner Zanpakuto spirit. Ichigo's was there all the time just sleeping. Not all humans have enought spiritual pressure, but all have at least the potential to awaken. Same with hallow powers. Every single spirit can mutate into a hallow.

Not everyone is strong enough to be either, but the point is that every single spirit has within them the necessary basic attributes to become either.
