Just to clarify since the anime explains this rather badly. All Hollows that remove their mask are called Arrancar (and have a human appearance), this doesnt mean all Arrancar are equal, what decides their strength is their class when they remove it. The 20 Arrancar that Aizen refers to are not necessarily Vasto Lorde originally. For example Grand Fisher (the hollow Ichigos father killed) was just a regular hollow, not even a Menos, therefore he became an Arrancar that Isshin could defeat easily. tldr: Arrancars are stronger if their base class is stronger when they remove the mask (and only Vasto Lorde Arrancar are stronger than captains according to Hitsugaya). Vasto Lorde > Adjuchas > Gillian > Regular Hollows

You'll notice that a lot of the vocab surrounding Hollows and Arrancar are in Spanish. Arrancar itself is the verb "to tear off." Even the move Cero (the subtitles incorrectly wrote it as Sero) means "zero." Hueco Mundo = hollow world. And Yachiru is Kenpachi's lieutenant (the tiny pink-haired girl always with him)... that's why Ikkaku was afraid lol.

I've always liked how the factions worked like that. The shinigami use a Japanese naming convention, hollows use Spanish, quincies use German. Without spoiling much there is also at least one other similar case later on. It makes it way easier to tell what faction a place, concept, or attack aligns with. It kinda extends to the OST at least a little too in the anime, with the arrancar at least all of the soundtracks associated with them is Spanish and flamenco inspired.

Yeah, i'm not sure if I'd consider that a minor spoiler though. I feel like that misconception is definitely intended at this point in time and then clarified properly later. Why would they place those two scenes referencing the number of arrancars right next to one another if they didn't want the audience to at least assume for the moment that all 20 are vasto lorde.

Im pretty sure its explained differently in the manga. Thats why I tried to demystify this

Idk if this is causing confusion but: Ichigo has a mask because of the training he did with Urahara after Byakuya took away his soul reaper powers way back when they captured Rukia. It’s not RNG. To get Ichigo to manifest his soul reaper powers again, Urahara had to sever his soul chain, but this also causes the chain to slowly eat itself. When a soul chain is completely depleted, the soul mutates into a hollow (this is what leaves behind the hole in their torsos). Ichigo reached the very brink of this while down in that pit and began the process of hollowfication, but was able to overcome it. So now he has the mask. Also: I feel like the concept of gigai is a bit confusing. When Urahara and Isshin were talking in the previous episode, one of them made a comment about wondering if Isshin had become weaker over time and if it would be Urahara’s fault. Urahara likely supplied Isshin with a special gigai (fake human body). I guess they were just speculating about the side effects of living as a human in a gigai for that long. Any time you see a soul reaper in the world of the living and regular humans can see them, they are in a gigai.
