Strength: Kurosaki Ichigo's already impressive strength is greatly enhanced in his shinigami form. He is able to wield his zanpakuto, Zangetsu which stands at 1.74 meters in height with ease. Additionally a blast from Zangetsu is capable of destroying a structure several stories in height as displayed when he destroyed a portion of the Soukyoku's cross holding Kuchiki Rukia, the blast extending at least double the height of the cross (up and below and through the cliff for that matter upon which the cross was supported). In one case even fought off three lieutenants and their released zanpakutō bare-handed in rapid succession. He even shattered one of their released zanpakutō in a single punch.

-Effortlessly blocked the axes of Jidanbou, a giant who could kill 30 Hollows with one swing of a single axe.
- In his fight with Ikkaku, he took a cut to the arm and yet was still able to overpower the 3rd Seat Shinigami and slice fully through the wall of one of the surrounding structures.
-When he and Captain Kenpachi Zaraki clashed swords for the final time, the collateral damage dealt by their swords colliding sunk skyscrapers in a ring around them.

Speed: Ichigo is skilled in the art of using shunpo or "flash steps" taught to him by Shihoin Yoruichi, known as the God of Flashsteps. Shunpo allows shinigami to move at great distances within seconds and is a captain level technique. Ichigo in his bankai, Tensa Zangetsu is able to surpass this speed and was able to able to deflect the thousands of high speed/multi-angle attacks from the blades of Kuchiki Byakuya's own bankai, thus Ichigo is given matching reflexes and agility to go with his further increased speed.
Rashou
-In Bankai, he deflected the (as quoted by Byakuya) hundreds of millions of blades of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi in seconds.

Durablity/Endurance: Well, this is a bit tricky. The highest feat of durability displayed by Ichigo is probably in episode 172 of the anime when he jumped from eight floors of a building. Though, Ichigo landed in a statisfactory posistion he still hit the bottom floor pretty hard, landing on his rear end. Alas this was a NON-CANONCAL FILLER. However as far as canoncal material goes Ichigo was knocked into a mountain by Ururu hard enough to cause impact, though he was braced by Tessai who took the blunt of the force. But Ichigo is stronger than Tessai now so he's probably able to withstand that force at the least. Yet, we know that Ichigo is still prone to being slashed by another shinigami's zanpakuto.
Rashou
-In the battle against Renji Abarai the first attack dealt to him after Renji revealed his Shikai forced him back through a wall and left him with a head wound he suffere d through the battle.
-In the same battle he was slashed by Renji's Shikai several times, though Yoruichi pointed out after the battle that the Hollow Mask he had absorbed a deal of the damage.
-Ikkaku cut his arm and Ichigo was still able to swing Zangetsu full force with the wound.
- He fought for five days and five nights with Urahara for their training session (he mentions this after Ishida asks him about his training during the Jidanbou fight) which shows an incredible endurance.

Intelligence: Ichigo is also a capable student, ranked at 23 of 322 in his school. While this freaked out Keigo Asano at first (he feared Ichigo was turning into a nerd), Ichigo notes that he regularly studies and doesn't neglect his schoolwork, most likely due to the fact that he has nothing better to do at home as he states himself. Many people tend to misjudge him based on his unusual (but natural) hair color, so he works hard to overcome their misconceptions.

Fighting Skill: Ichigo has been trained in martial arts since he was a small child, both professionally and by his father's constant assaults and surprise attacks when at home. He regularly fought and defeated bullies and gangsters when in high school, and was a better martial artist than even Tatsuki, the second-strongest high school girl in Japan, before they were in middle school. Ichigo can possesses the skills to fight a shinigami of captain calibur skill level despite the fact that Ichigo himself possesses no such title. According to Aizen and Urahara, Ichigo's most astounding ability is his growth rate: he grasps the basic control of advanced techniques in days where it might take someone else weeks or years. One example is the final release of his zanpakutō, which he learns in three days while a normal shinigami would require hundreds of years of combat experience and at least ten additional years of special training to learn the same thing. It should be noted, however, that he used a special device designed by Urahara to accelerate the process. He also quickly gains mastery of flash steps while training with Yoruichi. Ichigo relies mostly on his zanpakutō and the use of flash steps, and thus would be considered a swordsmanship specialist.

Techniques: In shikai, Zangetsu's special ability is the getsuga tenshō (月牙天衝, lit. moon sky-piercing fang), which fires concentrated energy blasts from the tip of the blade in the shape of a crescent moon. Ichigo uses this ability without knowing its name several times, but masters the technique later on when he discovers its name. As stated by Zangetsu, knowing and not knowing the name of an attack makes a difference in the amount of power that it releases. The bankai, "final release" of Zangetsu, named Tensa Zangetsu (天鎖斬月, lit. heavenly chains moon cutter), is considered completely out of the ordinary for any zanpakutō. Unlike most final releases, which usually create some sort of massive creature or effect, Ichigo's final release actually shrinks his sword down to a nodachi (Japanese long sword) with a black blade, a handguard in the shape of the manji (which is the kanji for "ban," meaning "full"), and a short chain dangling as the blade's tassel, which replaces the cloth from its initial release form. In addition to his sword, Ichigo's robe is replaced with a long-sleeved, ankle-length black coat with red lining that is closed at his chest, much like that of Zangetsu himself. As explained by Byakuya Kuchiki, Ichigo's final release is a compression of his power, rather than a vast expansion as other final releases are. This hugely compressed power enables Ichigo to move at speeds exceeding those of flash steps, and gives him matching agility and reflexes, allowing him to use his natural strength to its limits. This form doesn't gain any additional special abilities, but it does possess an improved, black version of getsuga tenshō. In addition to the change in color, the black getsuga tenshō is much stronger and its path can be willfully controlled by Ichigo. The move was first displayed by Ichigo's inner hollow, and initially carried the risk of causing his inner hollow to surface if used too much. With Ichigo's later control over his inner hollow, this is no longer a problem.

Hollow powers
Ichigo's powers are not limited to just shinigami abilities; he possesses hollow powers as a result of his training with Urahara. Because he had to temporarily become a hollow (at least partially) to awaken his shinigami powers, he possesses a hollow spirit within him.At different points in the series, Ichigo's hollow powers have manifested themselves in different ways. Initially, Ichigo's hollow mask would appear on his body to block fatal blows, which Ichigo never noticed until after the fact. During his battle with Byakuya Kuchiki, the mask appeared on his face when he was near death, allowing his inner hollow to take over until Ichigo suppressed it. The same event is repeated multiple times after that, though Ichigo's ability to suppress it got quicker each time. Eventually, Ichigo's ability to suppress his hollow got quick enough that he could suppress it almost instantly. However, doing so left him effectively paralyzed during such periods, since his concentration was focused on suppressing it rather than fighting. While his inner hollow is dominant, Ichigo is able to ignore any current injuries and becomes far faster and stronger than normal. The arrancar Ulquiorra has claimed that Ichigo's hollow-enhanced strength is even greater than his own when berserk, but fluctuates widely; Ichigo's fluctuations were the primary reason why he let Ichigo survive their first encounter.
While he was in training with the vizard, Ichigo's physical body was completely overcome by his inner hollow for a short period, causing his body to completely transform into a hollow. As a full hollow, Ichigo demonstrated several high-level abilities, including instantaneous regeneration, enhancement of limbs, and the ability to fire cero blasts from his fingers. However, this form didn't last long as Ichigo emerged from the hollow shell as his standard shinigami self. After training with the vizard and subjugating his inner hollow, Ichigo can use his hollow mask while retaining his personality, but only for eleven seconds at a time.[5] During this transformation, his hollow powers supplement his shinigami powers, giving him a vast increase in both strength and speed.
