This is just me thinking here, but, maybe Ichigo's fullbring's power is to mimic his Shinigami abilities to an extent? Maybe what we saw isn't Ichigo's Shinigami powers back, but just his Fullbring "going up a level" like Chad's has done? And, how could this be Ichi's Shinigami form? He was still in his human body (tho mebe he could have expelled his soul with the badge offscreen, only Kubo knows). Again, just me thinking.
