Look, I know what I'm about to say is like taking a step back in this whole dicussion... but I can't let one this point go.(hehe..I made a pun) About Ichigo not being able to inherit any shinigami abilities.

What we know, thanks to the maestro Tite Kubo, is that once a shinigami loses the ability to interact/control spirit particles a small part of his abilities(Shinigami powers) huddle up somewhere within the spirits body.

My question is this: What prevents a Shinigami who has lost his powers(i.e: Isshin Shiba/Kurosaki) from passing the genetic potential to their kids?

Isn't it a possibility that Isshin could have passed on a portion of whatever was left of abilities to Ichigo and the twins? Then there's the Hyogokyu. It's presence has shaken up alot of ideologies of people with it's almost god-like range of influence.

But if you, like me, take these thoughts as the ramblings of a madman that they are then please just humor a... what's the word I'm looking for... Psycho.
