The concept that Shinigami's having dormant hollow powers would make sense. A hollow and shinigami are both souls, just in different extremes. Hollow in general seem to be more base instinct, but also more primal. While Shinigami seem to be more refined and their intelligence still intact. But there are intelligent hollows as well. The lower, weaker ones just seem to be more about instinct. Having the other side in one self would make sense seeing Ichigo's trail.

Knowing that there is only two paths, hollow or shinigami then everyone probably has a piece of each in them. The path take leaves the other piece behind and lost. Though I guess in Ichigo's case it was never lost after becoming a Shinigami, it just sat in waiting.

So do Vizards take on hollow appearances when they use the powers and do arrancar look more like Shinigami when they use said powers? Or are they still the same? I know that Ichigo changes when he inherits his hollow powers at times, namely the mask of a hollow.

So Minazuki eats the person it is going to heal? That is definitely a little strange to say the least. I would really not like the feeling of being inside an animal, preferably the patient is unconscious. But the animal must be large if it can swallow people. How long before we get to see her in action? Sounds like she does have some what of a reoccurring role, though I guess all of the captain would. Though I don't even know if she has really been given screen time yet.

Back to the good stuff on Bleach this week with the filler episode over. I can't wait to see some more.
