And that's why Ichigo was unable to resist Yhwach control. Aside from that one moment of using Blut against Yhwach, what other moment was there that Ichigo used Quincy powers? Does that mean that Getsuga Tensho, an ability Isshin also used, is by that logic a Quincy ability? And why would his blades being black be symbolic of him only using Quincy abilities? Throughout the story the color black has been associated with the Shinigami, while the Quincy have been associated with the color white, so his blades being black due to the Quincy influence doesn't fit. The simple fact that Old Man quincy was Ichigo main source of power and the way Ichigo used that power, had nothing to with Quincy usual abilities. But that was the case nonetheless.

Has for darkness. Just look at Yhwach. His power is all about darkness. I can think of quincy shadow and how now Yhwach uses it to both attack and defense. In fact shinigamis besides from how they dress, they have no darkness about them. Even hollows are more dark than shinigamis. Seeing their world and how they travel through worlds.
