And yet Ichigo is a Shinigami/Quincy hybrid. He is not "a Human who is part Quincy". Are you mad? Quincy are simply Humans with powers, they aren't their own separate species. And the very fact that Ichigo has Shinigami powers proves he had to have inherited them somehow from Isshin. Zangetsu said that when Ichigo recieved Rukia's power, that awoke the Shinigami powers already dormant in Ichigo's soul. Where else could he have inherited them from but Isshin?
