Aside from that one moment of using Blut against Yhwach, what other moment was there that Ichigo used Quincy powers? Does that mean that Getsuga Tensho, an ability Isshin also used, is by that logic a Quincy ability? And why would his blades being black be symbolic of him only using Quincy abilities? Throughout the story the color black has been associated with the Shinigami, while the Quincy have been associated with the color white, so his blades being black due to the Quincy influence doesn't fit.
