I agree re Ichigo. Also, you said yourself, slightly similar souls would be reflected to some extent in similar zanpakuto or asauchi. Do you think this is also true the other way around? > Similar zanapkutous mean slightly similar souls? E.g. can we say that Rukia and Hutsugaya Taichou are similar since they both have an ice-type zanpakutou?
