so dosen't that mean that ichigo is 25% quincy and 25% hollow and 50% shinigami I don't see it that way. Yes, he inherited his hollows powers from his mother. But they were not diluted by the quincy powers of Masaki. They couldn't be because the reason Isshin had to live as a human without shinigami powers was in order for Masaki to have a chance at living at all. And that meant separating the hollow power from her quincy power.

Has for Zangetsu I see him like you'd see DBZ Gotenks.

When Ichigo was conceived, the shinigami and hollow powers that can mix, fused together to form a more powerful version of both those powers, in the form of Zangetsu. Old Man remained apart. Maybe mainly because Quincy power are linked to life and Shinigami and Hollow power are linked to death.

So it's more likely Ichigo power belongs 2/3 to Zangetsu and 1/3 to Old Man. It doesn't matter that Ichigo chose to accept Old Man as also being part of Zangetsu. Old Man is still linked to Yhwach and while that remains to be so, he'll never truly be part of Zangetsu.
