Children often take after their parents... in personality too. Ichigo, even if he gets as serious as he is going to, will at best be like Isshin, serious when he needs to be, and his normal goofy self when he doesn't. He doesn't need to walk around deadly serious all the time, and frankly, that in a MAIN CHARACTER would be down-right boring.
