User blog comment:God of nothing/Shiba clan logic/@comment-6342763-20130428100445

I was thinking and I coulnd't remember when/where was it stated that Shiba clan lost their status when Kaien died. Perhaps it's just my bad, but I can't find it. Made me wonder if they lost it when Isshin left, but that would mean Rukia would have to know him, and recognize him in the human world. If I'm wrong about Kaien, someone please correct me.
