I never said "his Reiatsu was strong enough to let Isshin use Kido" in those words.

What I said was "Maybe what he meant to say was he didn't have his Engetsu powers to help but he could still perform Kido based techniques or create kido based charms." Even if the charm was powerful doesn't mean he can use an offensive kido to be of any help. But Isshin implied whether or not he had his shinigami powers he would still be willing to help Misaki anyway he could. Suggesting he could do something if he needed to. As someone said he created that charm and on top of which despite the loss of his powers still was able to sense Reiatsu, so all I did was make a logical theory on how he was able to use kido while without his shinigami powers stating it's not exclusive to them. That's all. Now the next question would be to ask when was the charm made, the manga clearly points to when everyone met kon which was when Ichigo was already 15 and obtain shinigami duties in Karakura Town. So logically the charm was created either before Ichigo and Co went into soul society to rescue Rukia or during those events. Cause immediately following those events he gave it to ichigo with a lie and the information he told kon was the truth "This charm always belonged to you"

Yes Rukia was a adept Kido practioner but Isshin was a Kido Master. So even in his weakened state he could outperform kido in power in comparison to her given he was a former captain of squad 10
