Isshin lost his Shinigami powers before Ichigo was conceived. Therefore Ichigo was human, you can't give someone powers you don't currently have. There are several times in the manga that stated Ichigo was a human who obtained Shinigami powers. If Ichigo was already a shinigami, why did he have to go through training to obtain said powers?
