So what are you people going to watch Next Season?

Monogatari, Tamayura ULTRA AGGRESSIVE, Teekyuu S2, and hot-blooded singing Aoi Yuuki S2 are at the top of my list. Also looking forward to Prisma Illya, Neptunia and >airsoft though.

Dammit Kubo.

"Oh yeah that infinite power you possess is just a fraction of what you really had and now I give that back to you because REASONS."

Instant shonen power boost activate.

I said nothing about surprise. This is more exasperation since I knew it was coming.

I thought it wasn't so much that he had limitless power as it was that he had an absurd growth potential. He just got good at things really fast. And given Ichigo's personality, it makes a fair amount of sense by shonen logic: His whole purpose is growth to reach his final power level. That's what his human personality strives for an a smaller scale, and that's what the White hollow was built for.
Also, it no makes sense why all of his big attacks are reiatsu-based projectiles. The Old Man was the one calling the shots at that time and so was basically throwing Quincy influences in to overshadow the Shinigami part.

Except it's explicitly stated by Captain Unohana, right before they fight Aizen as they're traveling on that spirit road from Hueco Mundo, that Ichigo possesses a huge amount of said reiatsu, way higher than captain level at full strength. More than anything she'd ever seen, which is quite a bit considering she was the first Kenpachi. It pops up in the first fight with Kenpachi Zaraki too, when suddenly his energy fully recharges and flares up greater than before after his beatdown.

Chapter 382 I think it is.

Ah, that's right. I forgot about that bit. Now that I've got those moments at the front of my mind, I think I remember it being more that Unohana said that if judging by his coat he was only at half strength, then so on and so forth. Those huge power surges where he's got midichlorians higher than Master Yoda's all seem to be when he's recovering from a massive trauma though, so that might be The Old Man giving him a little more leeway for the sake of keeping Ichigo alive.

Granted, it could just as easily be "You just went full shonen, son. Never go full shonen."

Really, we knew Ichigo was pretty exceptional from the beginning, and I feel the reason for it really had to do with his quincy powers all along.

Quincies are able to absorb, redirect, and generally utilize reiatsu, and Ichigo became a target for hollows like Grand Fisher because of the exceptional amount of energy he retained, more than the average person. Uryu himself even considered Ichigo to have a bad sense of control of his energy, and that he was constantly pouring it out all the time from a considerable tap of energy. If we assume he had no ability to relieve that amount of energy build up, Ichigo essentially was constantly absorbing spirit energy from nearby his entire life passively. In a town that was exceptionally rich in spirit energy to begin with. This possible also resulted in him being able to see spirits, something that not all of the Kurosaki kids were able to do (Yuzu can generally sense them, but not actually see them).

In addition, this also could explain why Rukia lost all of her powers. She intended only to give some of her power to Ichigo, but he pulled all of her energy into him at once. His natural untamed ability to absorb reiatsu resulted in him slurping it all up away from her.

The rediculous sudden power boosts in battles in soul society and hueco mundo (Especially in the Byakuya and Ulquiorra fights) when hollow Ichigo came out? "Zangetsu" was likely helping supplement the reiatsu flow to give Hollow Ichigo a boost.

Really, this makes a lot of sense to me. Now the issue becomes Ichigo learning to actually use a Zanpakuto and be able to learn to manipulate reiatsu, though if Bach can turn off his quincy powers, that will become an issue for him.

However, we still have to figure out what Urahara's goal was in all of this. Obviously his training from hell to get Ichigo's Soul Reaper powers back didn't work because "Zangetsu" intercepted and suppressed the real Zangetsu and used the hollow in Ichigo to help with that, but Urahara regards the training as a success. He doesn't strike me as someone who would make this bad of a mistake, so what was he hoping to achieve? Is he trying to possibly fix the bad blood between all of the different groups? We know he used to be the jailer for the second division and that he hoped to make the prisoners be productive towards the soul society's goals, so could he be looking to help bring the more reasonable hollows, humans, quincies, and soul reapers together by using Ichigo, the perfect mix of the 4 main factions?
