for me guys, Isshin was the real deal. remember he use to be the head of the branch of a prominent noble family at the time. however i dont think he is even at the level of the senior captains. on another note, remember guys, when Azen took down the other captains they had been thru hell and back. all of them had to seek help to beat their respective espada or they would have been killed; most notably Soi Fung. so i think if Azen had to battle them while they were fresh he would not have had a chance, especially against Shunsui. remember guys, he never used his bankai either. moreover, he took a direct blast from a cero of the number 1 espada. soooo...it would be safe to say Shunsui would have beaten him if were fresh then. can he beat him now, well that is another question.
