Know this as been coverd, but for fun

Ichigos powers explained

•	Shinigami: Being the son of Isshin Kurosaki, a former shinigami trapped in in the human world (due to him giving up his power to save Masaki), the probability for him gaining the powers of a shinigami, even being born with it, is highly likely. The return of his powers is simply explained that Uruhara knows how to make a plus to a shinigami, and since he already had powers from birth (my assumption) it shouldn’t be that big of a problem regaining them. Further assumption is that he got the powers of a shinigami due to the fact that Rukia had the hogyoku in her at the moment of transferee (and since it materializes ones hearts deepest desires, the transferee has an almost guarantee that it would work). The return of his power 17 months after the defeat of Aizen is hard to explain, but it has a basis. Many of those around him notice a small residue of reiatsu in him. Enhancing this with the reiatsu of shinigami like Renji, Ikkaku, Kenpachi, Toshiro and Byakuya, his powers where almost guaranteed to return.

•	Quincy: Since his mother was a pure blood Quincy, it would be strange that he don’t have any Quincy powers in him. The reason he didn’t have the powers from the start could be explained by the fact that he wasn’t aware of it (same as his shinigami powers in my opinion). His powers manifesting at the point is does might be explained by the fact that he was attacked by a high power quincy and awakening the reiatsu from his mother.

•	Hollowfication: Due to the prosses of how his powers where returned the second time (turning into a hollow and at the last minute stopping the prosses to gain shinigami powers again). It might also trace back to the fact that his mother also was affected with hollowfication before his birth, giving him reiatsu that already had startet the prosses.

•	Fullbringer: Again, the power of fullbringer is based on the fact that his mother was attacked by a hollow and survived before his birth.
