Yes it does. Zangetsu and Hichigo are part of Ichigo´s soul. Zangetsu and Hichigo are the same entity, and not to separate entities withoin Ichigo´s soul.
They're all the same entity since White breaks down the barrier between shinigami and hollow.
It's not that farfetched, I don't think. They did fuse during the FGT training, as well. Ichigo is the single example we have thus far in the manga of a Quincy inside of a soul where a hollow also resides so I don't think it's too outside the realm of possibility.
And this:
Which is logical given what we know.
They still are one and the same. If they were not, then how were they able to become one being during Deicide?
Zangetsu may look like the Yhwach of 1000 years ago because he is a representation of Ichigo's Quincy powers, but he was still born of Ichigo's soul, and he was the one who allowed Ichigo to awaken Zangetsu in the first place.
The panel Stat posted suggests though that with Hollow Ichigo being "just a part" of him that there's more to Zangetsu.
This is more about the wording than the concept of souls in Bleach :lol
