This is a topic that has caused problems in other threads while trying to prove or disprove certain comments. So far I have never come across any sort of answer as to why this happens.

It isn't just about them being old and young and such it also seems to be about how they age. Kenpachi seems to have aged about 15-20 years from the time he met yachiru where she seems to have aged no more than 2 or 3. Ganju (I know he isn't a soul reaper but same issues apply) looked like a young teen when Kaien died and now looks about 10 years older, but Rukia doesn't seem much older than she was. This problem is all over the soul society.
