User blog comment:Insistente/Ichigo also survived Auswählen like Uryu/@comment-12511635-20130730193624/@comment-10554972-20130731045817

I agree. It's probably just because Ichigo had no Quincy training. After all, if you say that Ichigo is special because he survived the Auswählen, then you would also have to say the same for Yuzu and Karin, as they're also part Quincy, yet they survived.
