In the series, it's explained that Zangetsu is a part of Ichigo and was
suppressing his powers. Since he didn't want Ichigo to become a shinigami, he
was practically always hindered Ichigo, as one day he might have to kill him
depending on his changes.

Sorry but I read the following part in a wiki. Zangetsu tells Ichigo that the
Zanpakuto is physical representation of Ichigo's power, and Ichigo remembers
its red ribbon from his friend.

This is where I get a little confused. In one episode, Toshiro and another guy
had same dream about the sword and both wielded the sword for a short time.
The Soul Society then decided only one can wield him. **However, if the
Zanpakuto is a part of a shinigami, then how can two people have same power?
And how come Toshiro had dreams about wielding the sword, while Ichigo
didn't?** If it wasn't for Rukia power awaking and Urahara forcing through
Kido, Ichigo could never have become a shinigami.

It's like Toshiro's Zanpakuto was given to him by Soul Society because they
agreed he was worthy of it after beating the other guy.

What's the difference between Toshiro and Ichigo's Zanpakuto lore?


Zangetsu wasn't suppressing Ichigo's powers nor was he hindering Ichigo.
Zangetsu only feared that Ichigo would come to him to learn the Final Getsuga
Tenshou. Zangetsu didn't want Ichigo to become a Shinigami, because he (and
Ichigo) was part Quincy (and not to mention, Hollow as well).

The reason why Toushiro and Soujiro had the same Zanpakuto was explained in
the anime. Go watch it.

Ichigo always had the ability to become a Shinigami because he was part
Shinigami (from his father). Since his mother was a Quincy, he could have been
one too. He could've become a Hollow if he wanted to. Rukia and Urahara only
sped up the process.
