Odd that Kira wasn't included among them since half his body was blown away. Guess that either means he's dead or his wounds are apparently still within the ability to heal *says with heavy sarcasm* And I do agree, what about Kenpachi? Or even Hidetomo of the 12th Division? To only take these 3 seems very strange considering there are so many possibly more wounded soldiers with how hectic the 4th Division barracks were.

Also, this might be a mistranslation but when Senshumaru was talking to Mayuri, she mentioned how it was easier to unlock then when she was there. Slightly confused me because it seemed like she was also apart of the 12th Division even though Kirio was the previous captain before Urahara.

As for the Wakaba lookalike and Retsu, it was mentioned that before they were called the Gotei 13, they were just called the divisions. So Retsu could be the first 4th Divsion captain of the Gotei 13 and Wakaba was the first captain under the original name. Though that may be a stretch.
