Spoiler:

if isshin was using his gigai this whole time, how can he make sweet love with ichigo's mom and have 3 kids?

do we ACTUALLY know how a gigai functions?

Spoiler:

if he is not an SS shinigami as was said somewhere before, then do you imply he is a substitute? that's just weird. but what other ways could he have such powers?
its most probably either 1 - he has been using a gigai all the time (or maybe some other freaky Urahara invention); or 2 - he was reincarnated.

Spoiler:

I think Ichigo's mom was a quincy before she got married with isshin, and she's the sister of ishida's father. That should explain how isshin know ishida's dad

that would actually make sense.... but I thiking she might have been something else (+we don't really see any kind of hints of quincy powers in Ichi), hense Ichigo's weird powers & being a Vaizard. (where do those come from? or did he become like that just cause of Rukia & Sankyoku (sp?) being near him?)
