Forum:Royal Guard's power

A royal guard is a captain promoted is it possibly that a royal guard has twice the power of a gotei 13 captain execpt yamamoto if aizen was so powerful why in all his years has a captain was not promoted and if so who can win this match up Aizen vs Kirio Chitinkhuwa 06:20, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

Because he was hiding and surpressing his reiatsu so no one would know how powerful he really is. That's why everyone was so surprised when he owned them like flies. Ergroilnin 12:52, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

if that is true meaning during aizen's vice captain days he was Captain class and he could own a captain and he didn't want to become a captain at the time until he's plans for hollowfication of the captains and vice captains who arrived was completed--{chitinkhuwa}

Who are qualified to be Royal Guards?
I believe Royal Guards are powerful. Saying this, I believe that Unohana, Ukitake, and Kyoraku are qualified to be Royal Guards. My question is, why aren't they? Is Yama-ji holding them to stay in Gotei 13? What are your thoughts? --WinterFox 02:36, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I beleive all three and possibly Toshiro r strong enough. But look at the squads. They r currently three captains short as is. If they send any more away the Gotei 13 will really be in trouble. Minato 02:43, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Minato that Gotei 13 is short of captains. But, do you think way before the current events, there was a time that those 3 had been requested to join the Royal Guard? Also, is Byakuya's grandfather (sorry, forgot his name, was it Ginrei?) in the Royal Guard, too? If I recall correctly, you are not allowed to retire from being a Shinigami (else you'll be in the Maggot's Nest). Can shinigamis also die a natural death (meaning of old age)? I don't think so. I don't believe that he died in battle, either. --WinterFox 03:00, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I would also like to know what happened to Ginrei; he seemed cool, calm, and collected. In the preview for episode 250; Ginrei can be seen along with Genryusai; so we might get some info.--Captain Brooks 16:53, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Did Ginrei became captian after Unohana, Ukitake and Kyoraku did? If yes, it seems odd that he looked older than the 3. He's a friend of Yama-ji, right? Why didn't he join Gotei 13 from the beginning? I'm confused. [sorry for leaving a post not related to the topic above]--WinterFox 02:54, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Some people may age differently than others. Look at the Shihōin Clan( cYoroichi's clan) she was the 22nd head meaning 21 generations before her and no telling how many after her. I'm saying that its possible for people in the soul society to have diferent age rates. As why niot Urahara, well hasn't been Captain for long and as for th other two maybe didn't want to go. After all you can turn down promotion in the ss. Acording to Aizen at least and from the looks of it Kaien didn't want to liteunents position either yet somehow he was convince. Its seems Shinigami are given felxiable rights when it comes to promotions and where they work to a degree.Saimaroimaru 12:07, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
