Same as before.
Same as before, but also Statistics amplification (With hollowification.) and Hollow physiology (Low Tier, with hollowification and Zangetsu posession.)
Same as before, Healing and rapid Statistics amplification with Zangetsu posession.
Same as before, and Resistance to Age and Corrosion (Can resist Barragan's respira through raw spiritual pressure alone), Light manipulation and Energy projection (Can fire ceros, which are made of light.), and Berserker mode. Resistance to Causality manipulation (Zangetsu's spiritual pressure supresses Orihime's shun shun rikka.)
Same as his First Grimmjow fight, except every Resistance is now quadruply layered (Exceptions include resistance to bladed weaponry). Mind, Body, and Soul Existence erasure with Final Getsuga Tensho (This ability uses his Quincy power, which naturally erases other souls.) Resistance to Existence Erasure (Is unaffected by Aizen's existence erasure.), and Resistance to Causality manipulation (Zangetsu's spiritual pressure supresses Orihime's shun shun rikka.)
Attack Potency: Small-Building level (Can combat and damage regular hollows, such as Grand Fisher, Acidwire, the Demi-Hollow, and Shrieker, which can easily make large holes in walls and destroy entire buildings. Can cut into Uryu's arrows, which can do the same.[Statistics Values 1]), at least Mountain level+ with hidden power and Shikai (Ichigo's spiritual pressure and spiritual power rapidly increase when he releases his own hidden power. He can damage a Menos Grande, and can clash with its ceros, before eventually growing to overpower it. Ichigo can also overpower 20% Renji. Ichigo regained his true power after unlocking what is actually his shikai. At best he is third or fourth seat level. [Statistics Values 2]), higher with Getsuga Tensho (Can damage a rusty Urahara's Benihime shield, and he even states it could've cut his arm off, and this is reiterated in a databook, confirming it was not a bluff. It was calculated to be this strong, but scales higher via powerscaling.)
Speed: Supersonic (Can hit shrieker before his sonically-activated bombs detonate. Can consistently react to Uryu's superhuman arrows, which was calced to be this fast.[Statistics Values 3]), Sub-Relativistic with hidden power and Shikai (Can combat and eventually overwhelm Renji Abarai, albeit, he was weakened (20% power) because of Gentei Rein restrictions. Blocks a cero from a Menos Grande. His combat speed is about third or fourth seat level at it's best.[Statistics Values 4])
Lifting Strength: Class M: Stronger than Chad, who ripped off a telephone pole from the ground.[Statistics Values 5]
Striking Strength: Small-Building level (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly strikes with his Zanpakuto. It should be noted his punching strength is also comparable to his sword swinging strength. [Statistics Values 6]), at least Mountain level+ with hidden and Shikai (Comparable to his attack potency, as he almost exclusively uses physical attacks. [Statistics Values 7])
Durability: Small-Building level (Comparable to his striking strength, as he can take the force of his own physical strikes.[Statistics Values 8]), at least Mountain level+ with released power and Shikai (Comparable to his striking strength, as he can take the force of his own physical strikes.[Statistics Values 9])
Stamina: Superhuman: can exert himself for long periods of time, with many injuries. Fought Urahara for 5 days straight.
Range: Standard melee range, to tens of meters with Getsuga Tensho.
Standard Equipment: Zangetsu (Zanpakuto)
Attack Potency: at least Large Mountain level (He contributed slightly more than 1/6th of the total energy which shook the entire Seireitei, a country-sized structure. Constantly gets stronger throughout this arc, evidenced by how he can fight very evenly with Ikkaku, but then grows to one-shotting him and his Zanpakuto. Afterwards, he grows from fighting evenly with Renji to fighting overwhelming him too, despite him being 5x stronger than when they last met due to removing his Gentei Rein restriction, and Kenpachi explains lieutenants would not be a match for Ichigo.[Statistics Values 1]), higher with Getsuga Tensho (This attack magnifies his attack potency.).
Speed: at least Sub-Relativistic+ (Surpassed the combat ability of the actual current Lieutenants, which would include both Rangiku Matsumoto and Shuhei Hisagi, who both reacted to and dodged the Negación light respectively. Kept up with and eventually surpassed Ikkaku and Renji.[Statistics Values 2])
Lifting Strength: Class M: Stronger than Chad, who ripped off a telephone pole from the ground.[Statistics Values 3]
Striking Strength: at least Large Mountain level (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes from his Zanpakuto, and can even strike this hard with his bare hands. [Statistics Values 4])
Durability: at least Large Mountain level (Comparable to his attack attack potency, as he can physically withstand the force from his own strikes. Can take strikes from Renji bare-handed and suffer very minimal injuries.[Statistics Values 5])
Stamina: Superhuman: can exert himself for long periods of time, even with many injuries like against Renji.
Range: Standard melee range, to tens of meters with Getsuga Tensho.
Standard Equipment: Zangetsu (Zanpakuto)
Attack Potency: Country level (Can block the full power of the Sokyoku and even destroy the Takka scaffolding, which can sustain its attacks. The Sokyoku can create a high-density thermal disruption, or explosion, which can destroy the entire Seireitei, and eventually the entire Soul Society planet. Can clash with Byakuya Kuchiki, and prior to his bankai training and being fully healed he could block Byakuya's senka. Is noted as being captain level by Ukitake, as in the level of the actual captains, which is confirmed by Databooks. Easily deals with three lieutenants, breaking through Omaeda's Gegetsuburi and Sasakibe without a Zanpakuto, with it even being stated he surpasses all three of them combined. By getting to his level, Ichigo grows what is hyped up to be an infinitely-high barrier of power, which although isn't literally true, supports the gap between Lieutenants and captains being huge.[Statistics Values 1]), higher with Getsuga Tensho (This attack releases a high-concentration spiritual pressure from the tip of his blade, magnifying and discharging it from his blade. Can break through Byakuya's Senbonzakura defenses and damaging his arm.), Country level+ with Bankai (Can clash with Byakuya's Senkei, which tremendously increases his petal's lethality, doubling their ability to deal damage or cutting power. Eventhough Tensa Zangetsu does not specifically multiply power, it gives him a significantly higher level of spiritual pressure and higher strength to allow him to move faster.[Statistics Values 2]), higher with Black Getsuga (This is Ichigo's strongest attack, making it stronger than his regular Getsuga Tensho. When channeling all his remaining energy into a Black Getsuga, he is able to clash with and overpower Byakuya's strongest technique, Shukei Hakuteiken.), higher when posessed by Zangetsu (Can take down Byakuya, easily surpassing his spiritual power, and hollowification increases the strength of a soul.).
Speed: at least Relativistic+ (Faster than before, as his Reiryoku massively increased. Can keep up with Kenpachi, who is one of the top 13 soul reapers at the time and superior to Mayuri, as the scientist concedes to Kenpachi and is implied to be one of the weaker captains this arc. This would scale him above Mayuri and Nemuri, both of who can keep up with Uryu who performed this feat whilst not being captain level. Keeps up with Byakuya in their fight.[Statistics Values 3]), FTL with Bankai (His bankai exclusively multiplies his speed, which means it elevates his heightened speed combat ability by at least 5x. Can blitz Byakuya, who is previously fighting at his Shikai level, and he swats away every single Senbonzakura Kageyoshi petal even after their speed is doubled, supporting his Bankai multiplier being at least 5 times. This feat was conservatively calced to be this fast, but scales higher via powerscaling.[Statistics Values 4]), higher when posessed by Zangetsu (His overall combat ability is far superior than Ichigo normally. Can also outspeed Byakuya.).
Lifting Strength: Class M: Stronger than Chad, who ripped off a telephone pole from the ground.[Statistics Values 5]
Striking Strength: Country level (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes with his Zanpakuto.[Statistics Values 6]), Country level+ with bankai (Can clash with Byakuya's senkei. [Statistics Values 7]), higher when posessed by Zangetsu (His reiryoku is far higher than Byakuya's.)
Durability: Country level (Can block the Sokyoku, taking its full force, and is comparable to his attack potency, as he can withstand his own physical strikes. [Statistics Values 8]), Country level+ with bankai (Can withstand the force of his own strikes, and his bankai increases his Reiryoku, which improves your physicals. [Statistics Values 9]), higher when posessed by Zangetsu (Is only knicked by Byakuya's senkei to the hand. Hollowification increases the strength of a soul, and his durability should be far higher, as his Reiryoku increases, increasing his physicals.).
Stamina: Superhuman: can exert himself for long periods of time, and can even fight after taking lots of damage, though he cannot fight for very long in bankai, as he slows down and reaches his limit due to his inexperience. His stamina in shikai is more than enough to fight for 5 days straight.
Range: Standard melee range, to tens of meters with Getsuga Tensho.
Standard Equipment: Zangetsu (Zanpakuto)
Attack Potency: at least Country level (Has been training for months in the Vizard's lair, and gotten stronger through it.[Statistics Values 1]), higher with Getsuga Tensho (Stronger than before, and his Getsuga Tensho amplifies his attack power.), at least Country level+ with Bankai (Stronger than before, and his bankai multiplies his attack potency twice over.), higher with Black Getsuga (His Black Getsuga is stronger than before, as Ichigo's reiryoku has increased, and he can wound a casual Grimmjow, wounding the surface of his skin.[Statistics Values 2]), Continent level with Hollowification (Hollowification increases statistics far higher than a Bankai would, which can increase fighting power by 5-10x over, dramatically increases the strength of a soul. Clashes with and damages base one arm Grimmjow, even overpowering him at times, as now their positions are reversed from their first fight and he is in the advantage. Should be superior to his previous power against Byakuya, as his mask is more complete than it previously was.[Statistics Values 3])
Speed: at least Relativistic+ (Faster than before, as now he has more Reiryoku which is used to increase physicals[Statistics Values 4]), at least FTL with Bankai (Faster than before, for the same reasons.[Statistics Values 5]), FTL+ with Hollowification (Increases his speed higher than Bankai can, where his own increases speed 5x over. It makes him faster than Grimmjow, who was previously bullying in in bankai. This is especially not far-fetched, since hollowification has been shown to increase speed a blitz increase's worth several times. Should be superior to Ichigo's posessed Hollowification against Byakuya, which allowed him to massively outspeed him.[Statistics Values 6])
Lifting Strength: Class M: Far superior to Chad, who ripped off a telephone pole from the ground.[Statistics Values 7]
Striking Strength: at least Country level (Stronger than before, and comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes.[Statistics Values 8]), at least Country level+ with Bankai (Stronger than before, comparable to his attack potency as he mostly attacks with physical strikes. [Statistics Values 9]), Continent level with Hollowification (Comparable to his attack potency, can clash with Grimmjow.[Statistics Values 10])'
Durability: at least Country level (Comparable to his striking strength, as he can take the force of his own physical strikes.[Statistics Values 11]), at least Country level+ with Bankai (Comparable to his striking strength, as he can take the force of his own physical strikes.[Statistics Values 12]), Continent level with Hollowification (Comparable to his attack potency, as he can withstand the force of his own physical strikes. He can take a cero from one arm Grimmjow.[Statistics Values 13])
Stamina: Superhuman: can exert himself for long periods of time, with many injuries. Can fight for over 5 days straight without tiring.
Range: Standard melee range, to tens of meters with Getsuga Tensho
Standard Equipment: Zangetsu (Zanpakuto)
Attack Potency: Large Country level (Only half as strong as his Bankai.[Statistics Values 1]), Continent level with Bankai (Can fight evenly and clash with a full power version of Grimmjow {as he was nerfed in his one-arm state}, matching his cero with a Black Getsuga Tensho. This fight is also specifically stated to be on equal terms, and Ichigo showed how much stronger he got in it.[Statistics Values 2]), Multi-Continent level with Hollowification (Ichigo can easily put out a Gran Rey Cero from base Grimmjow, which is the strongest version of a cero, making it stronger than the Cero Oscuras, which is an order of magnitude increase in power and all espadas can use. Grimmjow's own Gran Rey Cero is so strong, it can destroy the structure of Las Noches itself through vaporization, though it scales higher via powerscaling. Whilst holding back was having a pitched battle against Grimmjow, but then regains his composure and stops holding back once he hears Orihime, so he grows to the point where he can catch Grimmjow's own physical strikes. Broke through one of the ten Resureccion Grimmjow's Desgarrón claws, despite it being his strongest technique, making it stronger than his own Cero Oscuras and Gran Rey Cero. While weaker, could easily one-shot Dordoni.[Statistics Values 3]), higher with Black Getsuga (This is Ichigo's strongest technique.)
Speed: at least FTL (Only about 1/5th as fast as he is in his bankai state.[Statistics Values 4]), FTL+ with Bankai (Can now keep up with a full power version of Grimmjow, who was previously reacting to his Hollowfied power. While far weaker, could keep up with Dordoni,[Statistics Values 5]), higher with Hollowification (Could keep up with Resurección Grimmjow, and his Hollowification makes him 5x faster than his Bankai state, as it is a better increase in speed than his own Bankai. While weaker, went from evenly fighting Dordoni to moving FTE to him with no difficulty, supporting this multiplier rating.[Statistics Values 6])
Lifting Strength: Class M: Far superior to Chad, who ripped off a telephone pole from the ground.[Statistics Values 7]
Striking Strength: Large Country level (Only half as strong as his Bankai.[Statistics Values 8]), Continent level with Bankai (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly strikes with physical strikes.[Statistics Values 9]), Multi-Continent level with Hollowification (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes. Can clash with Grimmjow. [Statistics Values 10])
Durability: Large Country level (Comparable to his striking strength, as he can take the force of his own physical strikes.[Statistics Values 11]), Continent level with Bankai (Comparable to his striking strength, as he can take the force of his own physical strikes.)[Statistics Values 12], Multi-Continent level with Hollowification (Blocks a Gran Rey Cero from base Grimmjow and takes very little damage from Grimmjow's Garra de la Pantera bullets. Once he stops holding back, he blocks hits from Grimmjow bare-fisted. Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes.[Statistics Values 13].)
Stamina: Superhuman: can exert himself for long periods of time, with many injuries. Continues fighting after being stabbed by Grimmjow. Can fight for more than 5 days straight without tiring.
Range: Standard melee range, to tens of meters with Getsuga Tensho
Standard Equipment: Zangetsu (Zanpakuto)
Attack Potency: at least Small-Planet level (Can casually quash Ulquiorra's cero oscuras, and even destroy his Lanza de Relámpago with his bare hands. Has spiritual pressure on par with Zaraki and Cien combined, whilst they fought in the Dangai. Superior to Barragan's respira, Starrk's wolves, and Yammy's maximal resureccion, as Cien explains copying Ichigo's power would be a better pick than those 3, and would be more annoying to kill. This is consistent with how the version of Kenpachi he was superior to could already obliterate Yammy, take no damage from Starrk's colmillo, and negate Barragan's curse through spiritual pressure alone.[Statistics Values 1]), higher with hypothetical full power and full Shihakusho (Ichigo only had half his Shihakusho at the time, meaning he was only at 50% of his spiritual pressure. Reiatsu percentage is linear to attack potency, so his full power is logically twice as strong.[Statistics Values 2])
Speed: at least FTL+ , likely far higher (Far faster than Ulquiorra, who can perception blitz full power Ichigo.[Statistics Values 3]), MFTL at full power (Twice as fast as his half-powered state. Removing Gentei Rein can make up for substantial perception blitzes, such as when Toshiro goes from being perception blitzed to keeping up with Shawlong Qufang. [Statistics Values 4])
Lifting Strength: Class M: Far superior to Chad, who ripped off a telephone pole from the ground.[Statistics Values 5]
Striking Strength: at least Small-Planet level (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes.[Statistics Values 6]), higher with hypothetical full power and full shihakusho (Twice as strong as his half-power state.[Statistics Values 7])
Durability: at least Small-planet level (Can take Ulquiorra's Lanza de Relámpago with his bare skin. Comparable to his attack potency, as he can withstand the force of his own strikes.[Statistics Values 8]), higher with hypothetical full power and full Shihakusho (His durability would be higher due to his Reiryoku increasing two-fold.[Statistics Values 9])
Stamina: Superhuman: can exert himself for long periods of time, with many injuries.
Range: Standard melee range, to tens of meters with Getsuga Tensho
Standard Equipment: Zangetsu (Zanpakuto)
Attack Potency: at least Multi-Continent level (Only half as strong as his bankai. He can magnify his attack potency with a Getsuga Tensho.[Statistics Values 1]), higher with Bankai (At half power could already clash with Yammy, breaking his balas. These are comparable to his physicals given by how Yammy thinks they'll be effective against someone stronger than him. Can clash with Gin Ichimaru several times, showing a high degree of relativity between them, eventhough Aizen implied he was overall stronger than the espada.[Statistics Values 2]), higher with Black Getsuga (This is bankai Ichigo's strongest attack, which magnifies his power. Can draw blood from Gin with it.), at least Moon level with Hollowification (Ichigo's hollowification increase is more significant than a blood-amped Gran Rey Cero and a Cero Oscuras increase, making it superior to a 10x multiplier. [Statistics Values 3]), even higher with Hollowification and a Black Getsuga (This is Ichigo's strongest technique. He can slam Yammy down to the ground, damaging him in the process. Catches Base-Aizen off-guard, damaging him in the process.)
Speed: at least MFTL (Only about 1/5 as fast as his Bankai. [Statistics Values 4]), MFTL+ with Bankai (Can evade Gin Ichimaru's Buto Renjin, which multiplies the speed of his bankai twofold, by moving several times faster than it. While at half power, could react to and slice in half Yammy's balas, which are 20x faster than his cero attack speed. His ceros themselves are already superior to his own combat speed, as they can tag people faster than himself.[Statistics Values 5]), even higher with Hollowification (Hollowification multiplies his stats 5x. [Statistics Values 6])
Lifting Strength: Class M: Comparable to Yammy, who should be superior to Abirrama. [Statistics Values 7]
Striking Strength: at least Multi-Continent level (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes, and only half of his bankai.[Statistics Values 8]), higher with Bankai (Can clash with Gin Ichimaru.[Statistics Values 9]), at least Moon level with Hollowification (Multiplies his striking strength over 10x.[Statistics Values 10])
Durability: at least Multi-Continent level (Only half as high as his bankai.[Statistics Values 11]), higher with Bankai (Comparable to his striking strength, as he can take the force of his own physical strikes. Can physically withstand a strike from Yammy. [Statistics Values 12]), Moon level with Hollowification (Comparable to his attack potency, as he can withstand the force of his own physical strikes. [Statistics Values 13])
Stamina: Superhuman: can exert himself for long periods of time, with many injuries. Continues fighting Gin after being repeatedly stabbed, although his hollowification is messed up at this time.
Range: Standard melee range, to tens of meters with Getsuga Tensho
Standard Equipment: Zangetsu (Zanpakuto)
Attack Potency: Universe level+ (Far superior to both fourth and fifth Hogyoku fusion Aizen, to the point where he cannot even sense Ichigo's own power. The former being equal to the Soul King, which passively maintains all of existence with his own power. Can slap away an ultrafragor, which fifth fusion Aizen makes by combining twelve fragors into a single attack.), higher with Final Getsuga Tensho (This has been described as the ultimate technique, which far surpasses everything in the story up to that point. Ichigo also gains what is called "ultimate power" with the Final Getsuga Tensho, and he eviscerates monster Aizen. Should be at least greater than a Gran Rey Cero increase, since we do know Zangetsu knows how to use this technique, but deems it a safer win for Ichigo to use Mugetsu, sacficing his own powers, to defeat Aizen.)
Speed: at least Massively FTL+ (Far superior to anything any normal shinigami and hollow can muster, which would include even the unrestricted power of Squad 0. Their own spiritual pressure reaches around the universe this fast, and characters can weaponize their spiritual pressure and scale relative to their projection speed. Incomprehensibly superior to Liltotto, who could evade Yhwach's Auschwahlen, moving this fast in the process.[Statistics Values 1])
Lifting Strength: Immeasurable: Should not be too inferior compared to a casual True Shikai Ichigo, who can support the weight of everything in existence, which would include the three universes, the dangai, and Garganta.
Striking Strength: Universe level+ (Comparable to his attack potency, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes. Easily cuts down Fourth Fusion Aizen.)
Durability: Universe level+ (Comparable to his striking strength, as he mostly attacks with physical strikes. While deliberately not defending against it at all, only takes minor burns from a fragor.)
Stamina: Superhuman: can exert himself for long periods of time, with many injuries. Can fight for several months, as he trained with Zangetsu for 3 months straight, then was ready to fight Aizen without any signs of tiring, need for sleep, or need for water.
Range: Standard melee range, to Hundreds of meters with Mugetsu.
Standard Equipment: Zangetsu (Zanpakuto)

Final Getsuga Tensho (最後の月牙天衝, The Final Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer): Ichigo's ultimate technique, where he becomes the getsuga itself and puts his powers on the line to defeat his enemy. He is completely depowered after using it.
Mugetsu (無月, Moonless Sky): Ichigo's attack whilst in his Final Getsuga Tensho form. It combines Ichigo's hollow, shinigami, and Quincy powers and can erase the subject's mind, body, and soul.
Weaknesses: While possessed by Zangetsu, Ichigo tends to play around against weaker opponents. In his first Grimmjow fight and after he ressurected, he canot use Hollowification for that long, and in the latter his mask is a weak point. In complete Holliwification, his horn is also a weak spot. After using the Final Getsuga Tensho, Ichigo will lose his spiritual powers shortly after.
Intelligence: Above average normally, as he has very much above average grades and graduates from college. Genius in battle, as he can learn martial arts and techniques after seeing them once and makes hundreds of years of skill training progress in a few days.

Thanks to Arc7Kuroi, Deceived, Arcker, and Hissy, who all helped me decide on the scaling for this profile. Obviously, it's inspired by what Arc pulled off on VSBW, but I've added my own ideas and spin on scaling inspired by his. Other stuff, though, I came up with like the Seireitei shaking meta, which I started on my own after reading the Japanese version of the first databook one day. It's in the english version too, but I just happened to make that specific catch then and there.
I also use a lot of Gifs from the anime to showcase abilities, but I'm not claiming the anime is actually canon, I'm just showing a cool visual to demonstrate the ability. Also, credits to the Bleach wiki for all the kanji, saved me the time from fetching it myself.
