Also, why did he hide his powers or why couldn't he use his powers for 20 years? And why did he hide the fact that he was a shinigami from his son? Ichigo's Zanpaktou in Bankai is broken and he has to fix it with the help of the Zero Division.
The man that creates the Zanpaktou tells him that he needs to find his true Zanpaktou, but Ichigo can't because he needs to learn something about his past that is blocking him. This is how he learns about his father. In 10 chapters, his father finally talks so Ichigo could learn about his past, why he didn't tell him about his Shinigami powers and how his mother died. So after a while he decided to go to see what is going on in the human world because people died , and he found a White an experimental Hollow and he couldn't defeat it.
So Ichigo's mother came and she is revealed to be a Quincy and tried to defeat it. She did it, but she was injured by it, which infected her and she was becoming a Hollow. He accepted and lost his powers and became a human. So when she died, he got his power back because it stopped protecting her. Sign up to join this community.

That means the last time Isshin was a Shinigami, was twenty years ago. But the question still remains why he didn't return in episode 1 when his whole family was in danger. It is possible that Urahara suppressed Isshin's Shinigami powers, because he says "I can't have you blaming me if your reiatsu is all shrivelled up!
But Isshin must have regained them on his own because when they met after Isshin defeated the Grand Fisher, Urahara says "It's been a while, Isshin-san". Still a plot-hole then. I don't see how it's a plot hole at all. He simply did not have his powers then. Then he managed to get his powers back.
That's like, really simple. Just because his family was in danger at that very moment doesn't mean he could access his power then and there, the process may have been long and arduous, similar to the Chasm that Ichigo endured, who knows?
Not a plot hole at all imo. Whether he had powers or not, he did nothing to save his family. This would make sense if he was as originally thought , just a mere human with no spirit power. But as a former Shinigami of captain level, it doesn't make sense at all.
It's either a plot hole or something that's been rushed, especially if there's no explanation of how he got his powers back. I still don't understand what you're getting at. He might not have been able to sense spirit force or anything. It doesn't matter if he used to have powers or not.
He can't switch his powers on and off like a light. He was for all intents and purposes completely human. Heck it might have been true that he couldn't even see ghosts, who knows?
If Superman lost his powers would you expect him to punch an asteroid out of space if it was plumetting towards earth? I don't see a plot hole at all.
Delta Shell said:. I personally think that Urahara gave Isshin a gigai that surpressed spiritual power and eventaully gets rid of it completely, like the one that rukia had. It seems unlikely that he expected to have to use his shinigami powers again. The fact that uruhara talks about his powers shrivelled up suggests that they were in some way restricted. Yeah pretty much, the Gigai idea is what I was thinking too. It's why Uruhara was banned from SS in the first place after all.
Well, he obviously had enough power to sense that Kon was in Ichigo's body from the first time. You're trying to cover the mistakes or lack of elaboration in the plot and you're making assumptions in the process. That doesn't make sense. I don't quite get why you referenced Superman losing his powers because i didn't expect Isshin to own the hollow, but at least to do something.
As an ex-Shinigami he would have knowledge of these things. It's a plot hole for him to be completely oblivious of what happened in episode 1. Captain Gir Spiral Warrior. Undercovermc said:. I didn't know you needed exceptional powers to try to save your family He can't do a thing Go and die himself? Later, after Karin is protected from a Hollow by Sado, she brings Isshin to the spot where she left him so he can help the injured Sado.
When he does not see Sado, Isshin, speculating Karin lied about the injured man so she could spend time with him, for he has been busy with work, rips open his shirt, telling Karin to jump into it. Punching him in the face, Karin pins him to the ground. Asking why she is pinning him in such a painful position, Isshin wonders if it is a new way of expressing familial love. When Ichigo and his friends gather for a fireworks festival on August 1st, the rest of the family, all wearing kimonos, come running up to Ichigo, knocking him down.
Noticing the girls' behavior, Ichigo asks if they are drunk. Explaining how a juice seller had used wine to dilute the juice instead of water, Isshin tells the group they saved a seat on the opposite bank of the river that morning after giving up on the idea of sitting in a boat on the river because the police would catch them. Isshin invites Orihime Inoue and Tatsuki Arisawa , calling them "cute girls".
When they say they will catch up later, Isshin heads off with the twins and Ichigo's other friends. When Ichigo angrily asks him what he wanted to do to his daughters, he states it is just a joke, and he should not make such scary expressions. When Ichigo tells him he will be leaving for another week again and might not be back until the summer vacation ends, Isshin tells him if he meets any good girls, he should remember to introduce them to him.
When Ichigo looks at his father, Isshin, asking why he is giving him an "I'm very worried about what will happen when I'm gone" look, tells Ichigo he will take care of everything at the house, and while he is still around, he will not allow anyone to hurt his family.
When he notes what he just said was cool and is a useful sentence, Ichigo, asking if he is an idiot, says he is not worried at all. When Ichigo leaves for his " trip " during his summer vacation, Isshin, once again trying to assault him, misses, smashing his head into the pavement in the process.
When Ichigo dismisses it, Isshin, giving him a protective charm, tells him Masaki gave it to him, and it will bring him good fortune. Isshin tells him he is lending it to him for his trip, and he has to give it back when he returns. When Ichigo does not answer, Isshin tells him he will have to shave his beard if he loses it. During Ichigo's final fight with Byakuya Kuchiki , the Hollow inside him completely awakens and takes over control of Ichigo's body.
When that happened Isshin's Reiatsu could no longer suppress the creature and the Reishi string, which was binding Hollow's soul with his Human Shell, finally broke resulting in returning Isshin's Shinigami powers to him. When Ichigo returns from Soul Society , Isshin attacks him in bed. Ichigo blocks the attack, earning praise from Isshin. Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.
After Ichigo returns from his " summer vacation ", Isshin resumes his normal antics of attacking Ichigo. While Ichigo initially ignores his attacks, he gets annoyed enough to pummel Isshin. At breakfast, when Yuzu asks Isshin what happened to his face, Isshin, turning around, says nothing happened.
As Ichigo asks Yuzu and Karin about their summer, Isshin, getting up from his chair, kicks Ichigo in the face, knocking him backwards. As Isshin mocks Ichigo for not being able to react fast at all, the two of them begin fighting. Later, after Ichigo returns home from school, Karin greets him, and Yuzu tells him he is just in time for dinner. Beginning to fight with Ichigo again, Isshin tells him he is late.
When Yuzu tries to stop this, Karin tells her to leave them alone and think of it as a bonding experience for the two of them. When Ichigo returns the protective charm to Isshin, he, saying he does not want it, sews it into Ichigo's school uniform. When Ichigo asks if he lied about Masaki having given him the charm, Isshin changes the subject. Isshin confronts Grand Fisher. When Grand Fisher is about to attack Kon who is in Ichigo's body , the charm Isshin gave Ichigo is activated, creating a barrier between them.
Wearing a Shinigami uniform, Isshin, telling him to take it with him wherever he goes, turns his attention to Grand Fisher, telling him Ichigo is not home and he should play with him instead.
Isshin uses Agitowari on Grand Fisher and defeats him. Confirming this, Isshin, throwing the charm to Kon, addresses him as Kon. When Kon asks how long Isshin has known about Kon taking Ichigo's place, Isshin, revealing he has known since he saw him enter Ichigo's body in the graveyard, further notes he has never called him by Ichigo's name when he was in Ichigo's body.
Stating he has no interest in Isshin and he only came to kill Ichigo, Grand Fisher orders Isshin to hand him over. When Isshin reveals he does not know where Ichigo is, for Ichigo is no longer a kid and he had always been very relaxed with the rules in his house, Kon calls him out, stating he is very strict with Yuzu and Karin.
After stating girls and boys are very different, Isshin tells Grand Fisher he came to kill him. Laughing, Grand Fisher, asking if they believe he is nothing but a regular Hollow, transforms, growing in size.
As a shocked Kon says Grand Fisher is nothing like the Menos he saw before, Isshin reveals that Grand Fisher is an Arrancar , a Hollow who has removed his mask to gain Shinigami powers. As Grand Fisher falls, Isshin, saying he should not talk about a Shinigami's strength until he can understand this, calls him a kid. Appearing, Urahara asks if Isshin had his revenge. Stating it has been a long time since they saw each other, Urahara says he is relieved he seems well.
When Isshin asks what he is on about, Urahara says it would be problematic if he had become weaker and blamed him for it. Isshin states rather than blaming him, he would simply accept it if he became weak.
When Urahara asks how it feels to take the form of a Shinigami after abandoning it twenty years ago, Isshin states it is " so-so ". When Urahara asks if his heart is now free of guilt, Isshin, stating he never hated Grand Fisher or any Hollow like that, reveals the thing he has not been able to get over during the last twenty years is his inability to save Masaki that night.
Urahara says he has not changed and his attitude is similar to his son's, which Isshin denies. Noting the Visored have contacted Ichigo, as Urahara predicted, Isshin explains how they are a group of ex-Shinigami who used forbidden spells to acquire Hollow powers, and they never found their base of operations or learned their goals. When Urahara notes their contacting of Ichigo, Isshin says they are preparing for the battles ahead, just like they are doing.
Noting Grand Fisher's Reiatsu was imperfect, Isshin concludes he was only an incomplete prototype, created to test how it performs in combat. Isshin says Aizen will finish his research soon and lead an army of Arrancar to take over the Menos Grande before destroying their world.
When Ichigo returns home from school, Isshin elbows him in the face, knocking him to the ground, surprising Isshin, who notes he looks depressed. Saying he must have done poorly in an exam, he tells him Isshin " The Man " Kurosaki does not get upset by school exam results, saying grades are unimportant. He tells Ichigo a high school student should be energetic and do things which are difficult to speak of, such as falling in love.
When Ichigo says he will stay in his room until dinner, Yuzu blames Isshin for not apologizing. When Ichigo hears him talking to Karin, he scares them off. When Rukia lies to Isshin and Yuzu about needing a place to stay, leaving Yuzu in tears, Isshin, stating she should be allowed to stay at their house, says Rukia is always welcome.
Going over to Masaki's memorial picture with Yuzu, he tells it they now have three daughters. When Rukia, appearing, asks what is wrong, he notes she is alright while Yuzu tells her Ichigo is missing.
Attaching clothes pegs to his beard, he calls himself a bearded daruma doll. Saying he already is one, Karin pulls on the pegs, knocking Isshin to the ground. As Ichigo wakes up in the morning, Isshin, jumping through his bedroom window via trampoline to greet him, tries to kick him as a way to say good morning.
Missing, he falls to to the ground after breaking the window. Later, he, appearing in the kitchen upon hearing his next door neighbor has moved away, he, attempting to kick Ichigo again, is repelled and starts to complain about his injuries.
After Aizen's defeat of the Shinigami captains, Aizen begins to reveal to Ichigo everything he knows about him. Moving to kick Ichigo off the side, Isshin, looking back at Aizen, retreats with his son. After getting enough distance and finding a place to hide, Isshin holds Ichigo down to keep him quiet, prompting Ichigo to kick him in face. As Ichigo explains how he knows enough to keep quiet - he just could not breathe - Isshin assures his son he is seeing correctly, and he knows he must have a lot of questions, but they need to wait until later.
Ichigo surprises Isshin by stating he has no questions and assuming if he kept this secret, he must have had his reasons to do so. When he decides to not force the issue and allow Isshin to explain when he wants to, Isshin compliments his son on talking so competently.
Ichigo tells him to think nothing of it because someone else told him something similar, which helped at the time. He thanks his father for bringing him back into a mood to handle the current situation. When his attack is blocked, Isshin, flicking his finger , sends Aizen crashing through several buildings. As their battle progresses, Isshin, noticing Aizen panting and becoming less sharp, asks him if he is already at his limit. When Aizen states he has reached his limit as a Shinigami and his soul is being reformed, Isshin asks what he is talking about.
As Aizen shocks Isshin with his claims, their conversation is interrupted by Gin smashing Ichigo into a nearby building. When Isshin tries to say something to Ichigo, he tells his father to not talk to him and stay out of his way because he nearly has Gin. When Isshin states he had been thinking to himself he had no idea what was going on when Ichigo flew past them, and he still does not know, Ichigo says he should know because he had been fighting him, prompting Isshin to state he should ask Aizen, who is attacked from behind by Urahara.
After Aizen transforms, Isshin attacks him from behind as he is talking to Urahara. Emerging with a large crack in his form's face, but otherwise unfazed, Aizen, stating he understood that attack, declares they will now come to understand his power.
Managing to get back on his feet, Isshin, going to a shaken Ichigo, tells his son to open a Senkaimon so they can follow Aizen, reminding him of their job to protect Karakura Town.
When Ichigo says there is no way to defeat the monster Aizen has become, Isshin snaps him out of it by asking him if he plans to let something precious to him be destroyed again. He reveals it is thanks to Urahara's technological prowess Ichigo's group was only thrown back in time a few days when they went to Soul Society to rescue Rukia rather than hundreds of years.
He says that he will use his own Reiatsu to hold back the current, which he believes he can do for around two thousand hours, nearly three months.
