Btw i don't get it. Can Ichigo still use hollow and Fullbring stuff? Logically should he have lost the ability to do so since those powers where stolen from him?
Shinigami, Quincy and Fullbring are teaching and not a race, this further prove it up.
When Ginjou stole Ichigo's "fullbring" he shortened it as such because he thought that he had gotten the entirerity of Ichigo's reiatsu. He could have said 'I got your reiatsu' and it would have been the same.
The gotei 13 restored Ichigo's reiatsu but it's not like he has forgotten how to use fullbring arts neither can 'fullbring' be stolen from him as it is simply a way of manipulating reiatsu.
This has been further hinted many time especially when Ichigo started to use GT in his fullbring.
Ichigo is just a massive mass of energy and a prodigy at learning which allow him to master more than one teaching in a very short time.
The closest thing to different race that Bleach has to offer are minus soul and plus soul as introduced back in chapter 1. Basically hollow and the rest of the souls.
Spiritually aware soul can be teached anything.
It's been shown since the beginning that potent soul in rukongai are teached the way of the shinigami rather than them being one by birth. One can train his spiritual awareness without any said teaching as it was also shown when we saw Renji's and Rukia's past.
SS just got control over most soul in the human realm and all soul in the SS so it is quite easy for them to get all the potent souls in their rank and have them follow their teaching and not another one.
Shinigami arts cleanse souls, Quincy arts kill souls and Fullbring arts manipulate souls. Imo it's very likely that these three arts decend from the magic hunter that were mentionned in the past and that we'll most probably see some character mastering more than one of these arts.
