It's true Bleach fans were already used to seeing Ichigo's inner Hollow helping him, but it still felt too convenient how the Vasto Lorde form won a battle Ichigo couldn't win on his own.

No matter how close to victory or how much damage Yhwach does, Sosuke Aizen will always remain Bleach's most iconic villain.

Bleach has always been known for hiding depth in plain sight, and Ichigo's Horn of Salvation form is no different. It may appear to be simply another power-up, but the horn's position speaks volumes.
