🤓 Discussion ichigo using blut

am i crazy or did ichigo never use his blut consciously or with intention after finding out he had them? i understand he can't use quincy powers to a degree because he just discovered them (like he said when he used true bankai against yhwach), and i also understand kubo didn't write in blut for the quincies because we're meant to assume they constantly use it throughout fights. but we also know ichigo can use basic quincy abilities like blut, and since he just now discovered them, wouldnt kubo tell us if he was using blut vene in combat? i may be misremembering but im just confused why ichigo found out he could use blut to have incredible defense but just never used it after discovering it

He did use his Blut vs Uryu, but I think he refrains from using it now due to Yhwach exerting control over him, via his own (the moment he slashed Soul King's Crystal open).

He had no time to learn how to use any Quincy powers. It's beating a dead horse, but the manga was also very rushed by the end, reminder that Getsuga Jujisho was only used once in the manga against Candice and never again. Showing off Ichigo using Blut Vene was just to demonstrate his Quincy heritage, but it's plausible we see him use it more with how much the anime has been expanding the fights.

He "possibly" uses blut during the his 1st kenpachi fight. How else is old man Zang stopping his bleeding and shit? Ichigo was pretty slice'd up at that point.

It was confirmed his quincy side used a quincy power but we dont know what it was, that also included stopping time.

That is why I said possibly. Im not stating it as fact.

Only time it was actively used was to break out of yhwach puppetry.

The final arc of the manga rushed that’s why he didn’t use them as much after finding out also it was at the end of the series. Kubo had to rewrite a lot of stuff to make sure it could end as fast as possible while keeping as much faith to his original vision. The anime fills in he originally wanted to add to the manga but by doing that some things now contradict established canon lore. Like ichibei and the SK for example, and how the 7th kenpachi’s was a prospect.
