Since the Captain of the 4th division is dead now, I was wondering if anyone who is strong enough can take her place as long as they know healing and medicine well enough or would they be required to have atleast a healing Shikai (seeing how Retsu Unohana's Bankai doesn't heal but kill).

Does anyone have a guess or theory on the matter. Say there is a soul reaper strong enough to be a captain but both their Shikai and Bankai are offensive or has some defense to them, would they be able to take the 4th division spot if they knew allot about medicine?
