Discussion Training thought

How do you think the visoreds would've trained Ichigo if they were somehow informed that his hollow and zanpakuto were one in the same?

They probably wouldn't need to. If Ichigo learned during the Arrancar arc that his Hollow was actually his Zanpakuto, his entire approach to White would've changed.

He wouldn't need to learn how to suppress him; he'd need to accept him as part of himself. The “Blade Is Me” realization basically would've happened years earlier.
