Ichigo could also have an advanced learning capacity, both physically and mentally. That would explain the Shunpo and his Bankai (He learned it in 2 days), and possibly his Blut powers.

As far as the Blut goes, the reishi flows directly in a Quincy's circulatory system. If Quilge's Jail that imprisoned Ichigo was made of the reishi, or at least part of that reishi, in Quilge's blood, Ichigo could have "absorbed" the Blut technique when he finally broke Quilge's jail.
