or Kubo doesn't like to exclude Ichigo from all the multi-race war fun, at least he isn't also part bount. "What's that, Bleach anime's back, Bount Arc part 2? Ichigo's a bount!" Soul King damnit. Well at least he does have all these powers at one time, he's been able to use only 2 at a time at max, so far. Many fans speculate that Hichigo is still within/merged with Zangetsu, but Ichigo has a "new" Zangetsu which probably wouldn't still contain the Hollow powers, Zangetsu could even have a different personality, although probably not now that I think about it. A Zanpakuto being made from a shinigami's soul and that Ichigo's hasn't changed any, aside from the Fullbring remnants that changed his Shinigami attire and Zangetsu's appearance, but should we judge a book by its cover, or should it be a sword by its sheathe? Anyway when you think about it slowly, Ichigo being a shinigami, Isshin was a shinigami and Rukia's powers awakened that power in Ichigo's soul. Ichigo having Hollow powers, those were manifested in the Shattered Shaft. Fullbring, Masaki was a Quincy whose sole purpose was erasing Hollows, she was bound to be attacked by one at some point, and when someone says attacked do they really mean ambushed or could she have just been fighting a Hollow and it scratches her, does the infusion of the Hollow's reiatsu have to be incited by fear? Quincy Powers/Blut, Masaki was a quincy, Ichigo is Masaki's child, put things properly together and Bam! Ichigo's a Quincy. Ichigo just having all these powers is probably just a wide coincidence within the Bleach Universe but to us observers of it, its quite the quirky mystery. But for me if something looks cool enough usually I don't need to understand it.
