@Salubri - anyway here goes

1. I agree with you - but doing an extensive research means not only reading from SS's library - but more than that maybe interviewing and that by doing wild detective's works...

2. When Isshin came to Ichigo rescues Aizen seems grinning like he has seen his older brother (my little brother always do like that IRDKW when he sees me)... and he knows about Ichigo from when he is born (if I know the kid I must now something about his/her parents too right). So there must be some connection.

3. I may have been wrong there and have to admit I may have been wrong about Aizen true intention towards Shinji and all his friends (all the Vizards), but when Urahara arrive - he said 'just what I had expected from you' (refer Turn Back the Pendulum chapter) - like he had expected or just what he has planned for any possibilities arise from using firstly Kensei Muruguma's 9th Division as the Guinea Pig for his Hollow Botched experimented plans and afterwards - so what is it that he has originally planned - I have no doubts Aizen, Gin and Tosen would have killed easily Shinji and all his friends at that time - but no Urahara and Tessai had to show up... but anyway whether Central 46 was under Aizen controlled at that time is open for debate...

4. Isshin is the biggest factor in Bleach - without the father there will never be a son - always the father keeps secret big one especially to their son - and then its either (again maybe) A. Ichigo was adopted (maybe is the Soul King only son - and who knows) - B. Really his son and that when a Shinigami fuses with a Human then something powerful would be created - C. Ichigo is the King's Key... Hikifune I agree with you to label her unimportant but without her story we will never know who is Urahara... and that I am just saying 100 years ago Urahara does not know about Isshin until about 20 years ago when maybe Isshin is trying to fuse with (marries) Ms Masaki (and who knows what happens 20 years ago)... thats why I am saying Aizen was after the whole Kurosaki family especially those two (dad and son)... and that when Masaki being killed it was rather forgetful but of-course Kubo and Noriyaki had to make the 'June 17 Memories In The Rains' a Special Case... and another possibilities why don't they dwell on his mother - is she really a Human or anything?

5. I was hoping he is as powerful as the Captain Commander because if the ideas of Isshin being the former Zero Squad Captain then he must be as powerful as the CC...

6. Actually about Ichigo - my main opinion is that he is stronger than any other Shinigami, the Vizards and all the Espada plus Vasto Lorde (are they stronger than the normal captain class Espada) because he is still a Human and yes Alive... All the Shinigami/Vizards/Espada are dead people or should we say Souls - when he loses his head he could easily beat and or kills all. That is why I strongly disagree with you - without the Ichigo thing happening (Rukia giving power to Ichigo and thus a Human that is still alive becoming a Shinigami) - then the normal ordeal with the everyday battle between Shinigami and Hollow to save or devour Pluses (neutral soul) - the Human factor in Ichigo power is so much more important in Bleach.

7. In my opinion (refers Episode - the Materialisation of Zanpakutou - when Zangetsu wants to knows if Ichigo is stronger than him and realising Ichigo is very strong indeed because he has to fight 2 - maybe 3 power person in one - i.e. Human Ichigo with Shinigami power and Hollow Ichigo) rather straightforwardly Kubo is telling us it is the 4th stage of Shinigami power - only he does not have the time to tells us according to the Chapters - that is why I believe Ichigo as a Shinigami - current Chapters have 3 level of Shinigami power and in the future after the materialisation of the Zanpakutou- will have 4 level of Shinigami power - development is power achieved too - like knowledge and skills attained.

Lastly all 3 previous movies does not have any real connection to the past or current development of the Bleach series - but now that Kubo are saying its about the Hollow inside of Ichigo well this makes it more important to what the future Ichigo will be - would anyone accept that should normal Human Ichigo be defeated by the Hollow Ichigo and thus we have a new villain which is originally the Hero of Bleach... then my goodness it will be another 10 years for Bleach to be finished by Kubo the Man.
