Kinda happy it wasn't FGT that caused Isshin to lose his powers; given what Ichigo's was like, it would've been needless overkill if he had used it, given what Ichigo used it against. Nice to see also that Ichigo and Isshin are much more alike than they'd like to admit; impulsive, blame themselves for other's misfortunes (warranted or not); maybe Isshin will cut the act and Ichigo'll cut his dad some slack. Unfortunately, I'd say it also puts pay to any chance of Isshin becoming a captain again, as he's still presumably officially listed as AWOL, and hence marked for death, hence why he didn't show himself during FKT till after everyone else was downed.
