Well, okay. (That's neat.) However, a Hollow's Zanpakuto would still be different than a Shinigami Zanpakuto. This is getting into more personal opinion though, as I don't think a complete cross-over of powers is exactly the intention there. (Yes, canon says "the attainment of Shinigami-like powers, but then there's the Vizards.... Hollows will always be Hollows and Shinigami will always be Shinigami... except for one specific carrot-top, that is. *a-HEM*) Grimmjow and Nnoitora did increase their FIGHTing powers, but not their "level" per say. They were both Espada, and both continued to be Espada. My main issue is trying to get something way below Espada up to that level.

And as we've discussed, basically, eating, training, and ripping off masks. That's back to square one.

"Re-forming a Zanpakutou would be like trying to rebuild yourself from scratch. If you destroyed your own arm at a spacial level, do you think you can recreate it with limited amount of resources, at an atomic detail?"

"Trying to rebuild yourself from scratch..." that was sort of the intention with the Reversion idea. I'm going to scrap the Caja element altogether. (Mostly, maybe use it as a "training location" but that's it.)

If you destroyed your own arm at a spacial level, do you think you can recreate it with limited amount of resources, at an atomic detail?

Derr... I don't no what mean.

I'm assuming that what you meant here is that a physical "space" cannot be converted into an inifinestimal, irreducible "nucleus" of energy. Of course, basic physics there. However, I was thinkning that the force/pressure/whatever exerted (or extracted) by the enviroment would open a gateway for a particular Arrancar's abilities to evolve. Now that I put it that way, it really does seem shoddy.

I'm thinking I'm going to then explore the Zanpakuto element more. If I'm correct, the Ressurecion is tied to the Zanpakuto. As you were saying, train with the sword, gain a more powerful attack. But that brings me back around in one big loop because, if an Arrancar was far below the level of an Espada and trained diligently with their Zanpakuto (and, BTW, I haven't seen an instance of a canon Hollow "training," really. The acquirement of more powerful abilities seems to be more instinctual. They've talked about it, but haven't really given a lot of credible evidence. I am probably misinformed here?) they might get a couple of cool attacks.... but they're still an Arrancar that's far below the level of an Espada. (Aaron, for instance.) It seemed that, in canon, the only Hollows who were naturally as powerful as a Hogyoku-Espada were the Vasto-Lordes, and there were what, two of them? Rip a mask off a Vasto-Lorde and voila, Hogyoku-Espada level. I'm not aiming that high, but I do need to take these poor guys to about the level of a Captain.

P.s. Funnily enough, for a while there I thought about crediting Syazel. with the original research that went into Reversion, although having it be incomplete. I canned it though because it was too tropish. Heh.
