All of those powersets are just different ways of using the same units of spiritual energy.
All joking aside, this is correct in the canon. All spiritual powers take Reiryoku. The Quincy also use Reishi but that's really...just the Spiritual Energy of the world.
Another possiblity is that Masaki was Ryuuken's sister which would also explain the antagonism between the elder generation.
Whatever the explanation though, the latest chapter proves that Ichigo is still on some level the superbeing that he became before using Mugetsu on Aizen.

..... other than surviving being stabed in the throat, which is easily accomplishable when you're riding on enough plot armor to deflect a Spirit Bomb, what in this chapter even remotely gives that impression?
I'm reserved to being forced to watch this damn seies to its end, even if it kills me...
Spoiler
And it once and for all seemed to kill Byakuya... ;.;
If Ichigo is a human, shinigami and a hollow at the same… can he even die? Dieing, AFAIR, involve shifting from 1 state to another (a cycle) and he is pretty much at all states already. I'm not exactly sure even spirit king can top that. Unless he is actually one.

You mean he is immortal and can not die outside of battle right? I ask for it is kinda obvious that with a strong enough cero and suddenly Ichigo would be disintegrated (or some other offensive move.)
And it is alluded to (but with no evidence) that once a shinigami or a hollow dies eventually (though there may be intermediary steps) they are reborn in the normal world as a plus.

Well, I'm more about, hmm… whether something will really change if he'll die, in battle or otherwise. I was under impression (yeah, I know) that souls do not disappear, the just follow an endless cycle. So, he just cannot die (aside from abilities that destroy souls, like those of Quincies). Well, he can, "on paper", but it changes exactly nothing – he is still present and alive (possibly a little bit later). Or so is my idea.

Yeah, this wretched plot would be forced to bring him back like a Comic Book character. Or might actually move on from him and let someone else actually be allowed to be decent...
Bitterness aside, Soul Reapers can be killed, Hollows can be destroyed, and Humans can be killed.... so I suppose it might depend on which form he's killed in, but I bet it could be done.
God knows Ichigo doesn't need to be able to revive himself like Aizen; he's already brokenly resilient enough...
Could this be why Isshin got kicked out of the SS? Marrying the enemy does not go over that well with some people. I don't think the Old Man was behind it if this is the reason. He seemed to be happy to let sleeping dogs stay asleep. However the Central 46 has made a whole bunch for really %$^#@! decisions all through the series. If I am correct it would mean that this was planned from near the start of the series.

So that's confirmed... Wonder what he meant in the last panel though...
Spoiler
Most likely in the same manner as a priest would say it, so not literally. Could still be so though, since "I am your father" is a staple/cliche. Plus it's up in the air whether shinigami (Isshin) and quincies can even have children together, since they're on different sides of the spiritual border and false bodies may well be infertile.

Considering how little about Ichigo's parents Kubo has told us over the years, at this point he can say prettymuch anything about them. It didn't have to be planned, though some if it could've been.

They could have been married or at least had a real relationship going before he got kicked out the SS. And after he goy kicked out he became human again and able to have kids.
My friend says that in Japanese you don't use 'my son' in the same matter so the original wording matters here. You don't call someone your son unless he actually is.
You know what, never mind. Plot twists aside, I note that another Grand Tradition of Bleach is being continued here. Namely, the new enemies show up and utterly kick Ichigo's backside, doubtless inspiring him to train really hard and unlock new techniques etc etc...
But really Kubo? This is what you go for?

Well to be honest, this is not only a Bleach tradition, but a manga tradiotion alltogether, firt you kick ass, then you get beat so you realize you still have a level to obtain so you can beat the enemy.

You know what? No, **** spoilers; this **** is too terrible story wise to actually give enough of a damn anymore! Half of us called this a mile away anyway! I'll spoil it if you guys really want me to, out of respect for my piers, but it's just so freaking ridiculous!
So Bleach is not only as bad as Twilight, it's now officially Jerry Springer. "Aizen! Aizen! Aizen! Aizen!" Seriously! Aizen claims to have known him since then, Full-bringer-guy putting himself in everyone's memories, and now this? Half Quincy, Half Hollow, Half Soul-Reaper, Half Human? Any other freaking halves in there? Anyone else want to claim to be part of his life, or his family? How much mama drama does he have going on?
Also, plot hole:The Hogkyoku took away Aizen's Sword in exchange for immortality, before Aizen got sealed up and put into bondage. How could he have possibly affected Bach's sense of perception with it?
And lastly, something it took me -weeks- to get: The arc called Deicide? I thought it was "decide", as in decision. Which would have been an interesting name, though not one approriate for that situation. Then I went back, and realised it was "deicide", as in to kill a god. Aizen is officially more of a pretentious prick than Albert Wesker and Sasuke Uchiha put together.
And this entire situation just annoys me, in part because it's so terribly written coming out like a fanfic, and in part because I still just freaking can't look away!
