his getsuga tenshou is only a projectile of reishi build up, just like quincy arrows.

technically his bankai was closer to a volstandig than a bankai as it was simply huge power and speed increases coupled with an appearance change.

quincy can walk on air (Hirenkyaku). this also allows for increased movement speed, similar to flash step.

by all rights we cannot rule out that most of his abilities to begin with were quincy in nature. after the hollow mask started becoming more prominent he bagan accessing more of his shinigami abilities since his hollow and shinigami powers are linked.

now that he has accepted both his quincy powers and hollow/shinigami powers together as part of him, its likely that he will have a bankai/resurreccion/vollstandig mix style ability and may even be able to use the final getsuga without losing his powers like last time.

And maybe he only lost his powers because the Final Getsuga Tenshu was mostly fuelled by his Quincy side.

After all, if old man Quincy was only allowing a fraction of Ichigo's shinigami/hollow powers to manifest (has he himself said it), then by logic Final Getsuga Tenshu although not being a Vollstandig or Letzt Stil, had exactly the same effect.
