I would point out there was no confirmation of Hitsugaya and Rangiku being dead, being as the zombie doesnt require the victim to actually be "dead" except under the loose definition that giselle uses and we have seen her take control over characters not dead simply by infecting them with her blood. Lastly He acted far more aware/capable of talking and emotional response, then those we know of that are dead. Also I would point out Isshin has a life, job and two young living human children, his son has already been basically stated as not gonna be returning to the word of the living, and his days of being a captain are over. Isane is the most prominent healer in soul society now, making her the only choice to succeed Unohana. Rukia and Renji arent currently qulified to be anyones captain.
