When Ichigo faced his inner hollow(also, a note for the name, the hollow said himself that he doesn't have a name) for the first time, the inner hollow swung the shikai by the cloth at the end. If I remember correctly, Ichigo was shocked by the way he was using it. I expected him to use it the same way, but no avail.

I don't remember if there are any other techniques that the hollow used that Ichigo didn't, but do we think that Ichigo will ever use his sword the way the hollow does?
