i dont think that the gotei 13 belives isshin is dead since he gave rangiku an "im going to the real world" letter, so he is probaly classified missing. rangiku was probaly too focused on gin and ichigo to identify isshin, through she would probaly reconize him under diffrent cirtumaces (im pretty sure i misspeled that so correct me if im wrong).
