What is up with Ichigo Kurosaki?

[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.

He's the same as the Vizard. If you remember the scenes when Aizen made the Vizard, it has the exact same disordered hollow transformation.

The only difference is the technique used to achieve the same end result, and it is implied the Vizard also have hollows inside them AND zanpakto spirits, same as Ichigo.

Implied doesn't = certainty, but you could be right. Guess we'll have to keep following the series to be sure lol

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?

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.

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.

Err, actually, people like Orihime and Chad have been confirmed to have no such inner Zanpakuto spirit. This seems to imply that not everyone has an inner spirit, and that shinigami are special cases, not the rule.

Confirmed? Link your source then please. I don't remember them ever actually ever saying that.

He is half-hollow because he had his Chain corroded, then he defeated his hollow.

He's also a human - his dad was in gigai, and his mother is (most likely, as she was killed by a lowly Hollow) a human. Shinigami in general don't procreate.

That is interesting, considering Rukia had a sister, and several of the royal families indicate birth and maintaining of family lines, which seems to contradict the pro-create thing.

Notice that the "parrot boy" also had a boy. Rukia's sister apparently died before her, and Rukia died later. This explains why there are so few children in the Soul Society - have you even seen a BABY there?

Also those royal families might just adopt people they want. Like the Kuchiki family adopted Rukia.

Byakuya wasn't adopted however, and Ganju never died. Yourichi also was indicated to have come from a lineage, which implies she was born into it, not adopted.

Well, souls can't have babies. Maybe they use Gigais, then do the action?

Why can't souls have babies?
They obviously have human style bodies.

And "spiritrons" are supposedly close to normal particles in usage.
Along with the fact that a balance of souls is all that is required, it doesn't make sense that souls only move one way across the boundary.

qed: soul babies may be possible

Possible... but we have yet to see someone with a baby.

So until proven otherwise, no babies ;p

Uh, I do not think that is how genetics works. You do not get half of your mother's and father's genes. That is true of the DNA, but not genes.

It's anime, what the hell is there to be confused about here?

 

[Kinguendo]

Alright, that's enough... who said "He's Ginger..." as an answer to "Whats up with Ichigo Kurosaki?"?

Come on, own up to it...

 

[Sethzard]

he became a hollow when uruhara cut the chain connecting his body to his soul, and as he was turning into a hollow, he got his powers

 

[Julianking93]

Sorry but...what?

 

[Droa]

Soul society is just like another world as well as a kinda afterlife, the differences are that they inhabitants can live much longer and survive sum of the more deadlier things than we can, they say theres a balance between the 2 worlds, so children an stuff being born isnt hard to understand.

and to the Op: his mother was human, he got his hollow powers a different way as alot of people have said, the reason he hasnt seen her ghost was because she was eaten by grand fisher.
