5th Divsion Captain Ichigo Kurosaki and Lieutenent Rukia Kuchiki. Would you imagine anyone else cept these 2? Besides, Hinamori (judging by the extent of her injuries) may be seeing her last days. So with her passing and Aizen's defection, the 5th Division would be sickeningly weak. They'd have no choice but to fill these positions as quickly as possible. And even though Ichigo's not pure-blooded Shinigami, he's STILL a Shinigami (thanks to that "bearded freak"). Oh and before someone brings up this candidate, Renji would most definitely not make a good Captain...not yet anyway.
