that doesnt explain how ichigo had shinigami powers of his own though.
err Rukia gave most of her Shinigami powers to Ichigo if you remember that
yes rukia did give him shinigami powers but he lost them when bykuya attacked him and severed his soul chain, remember he had to go training with kisuke to awaken his own powers right before infiltrating the soul society.
im neutral about this now, i just read about Rukia giving her powers to Ichigo on Wikia and it stated there that Ichigo rather than acquiring it he absorbs the shinigami powers instead, im not gonna be surprise if he mutated by mixing his own quincy powers to the shinigami+hollow+fullbring powers, so from this chapter alone Ichigo's original power are that of a quincy as explained by Juha Bach, it makes sense with the absorbing of shinigami powers from Rukia, but like i said im neutral about this now
just read chapter 56, ichigo loses the powers he gains from rukia, after that point the power rukia gave him never played a role in him being a shinigami. For the rest of the manga when he transformed into a shinigami it was out of his own inherent ability not rukia's
