Look, I know what I'm about to say is like taking a step back in this whole dicussion... but I can't let one this point go.(hehe..I made a pun) About Ichigo not being able to inherit any shinigami abilities.

What we know, thanks to the maestro Tite Kubo, is that once a shinigami loses the ability to interact/control spirit particles a small part of his abilities(Shinigami powers) huddle up somewhere within the spirits body.

My question is this: What prevents a Shinigami who has lost his powers(i.e: Isshin Shiba/Kurosaki) from passing the genetic potential to their kids?

Isn't it a possibility that Isshin could have passed on a portion of whatever was left of his abilities to Ichigo and the twins? Then there's the Hyogokyu. It's presence has shaken up alot of ideologies of people with it's almost god-like range of influence.

But if you, like me, take these thoughts as the ramblings of a madman that they are then please just humor a... what's the word I'm looking for... Psycho.
