Remember a sword isshin and urahara were caring around?What if that sword was the one rukia used.Also isshin lost his powers some years ago maybe they used the same sword to revive his powers?Now the real question is why take so long to use that trick to bring back ichigo's powers.I believe the answer is that ichigo stated at the start of the arc that this is what he always wanted .To live a normal life.Maybe thats why isshin and urahara didnt use it before as they believed ichigo was trully happy.Also we see a new uniform and a new form of his zanpakuto.That must mean his fullbring and his shinigami merged even partly.I believe in the next chapters ichigo will get his fullbring from kugo and then he will be able to use his new powers at its fullest.Also i think he wont be able to do bankai yet. All those are merely thoughts of mine.Sry for my bad english.
