On the contrary, even though Renji hasnt become a captain, he is a canidate for the position. there hasnt been as much of a push for it because the story always pulls the Gotei into some stuff hince why there arent anymore captains being brought up other than the one guy from that Bakotou arc other than that, the talks for new captains hasnt come up. the reason he doesnt want to show it, is because he doesnt even want to be considered like Renji is being considered for captain. he enjoys his spot in the 11th squad.
