and also you say Ichigo was born with them or learned them along the way, i say some powers like the vasto lorde became his latent heridatary trait from his mother Masaki because it seems that Masaki will be the one to kill that vasto lorde hollow that looks like hollow Ichigo and also Ichigo is a power/ability absorber since Rukia's shinigami powers was absorbed by Ichigo in the first chapters if i remember correctly but forgot the exact chapters
and yes my guess is that Masaki is a power absorbing freak too, hopefully in the next chapters she will absorb the powers of that Vasto Lorde Hollow that Isshin is confronted with
Now I must answer you. I saw you in the past few... months with your theory, and I think it's time to write. So, about Ichigo absorbing all of Rukia's powers... There was an explanation, that the Hygouko grants what you wish deep in your heart, and Rukia probably felt ashamed after the death of Shiba Kaien by her hands, so deep in her heart she wanted to loose everything, or something like this (this was also the explanation why Aizen lost control of the Hygouko, because probably deep in is heart he wanted to be a weak person, so he wouldn't be alone). There were a few more examples, probably related to the power of the Hygouko, though I don't remember what they were.
