Talk:Isshin Kurosaki

what does this mean - ? I didn't know what to do with it so I left it in there. --Kaidenshiba 14:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

A rumor I heard...
I heard this from several people as a rumor, but I think it deserves discussion anyway. I heard that Isshin may have been a former royal guard, which, besides Yamamoto, only the most powerful shinigami may be a part of. Do any of you think its possable?--CloudHiro 05:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Former Captian of 11th Squad?
Has anyone ever had the theory that maybe he was the former Captain of the 11th squad? This would explain why the 11th squad captain was never shown in Turn Back the Pendulum series. Yes Shinji said he didn't recognize the spirit energy but maybe that's because he had lost most of it. This could also fall into line that Kenpachi Zaraki killed Isshin to become the new captain. But Isshin never dies and is brought to the real world. Hence Isshin losing his powers. This would explain why he knows Urahara because they were both captains at the same time. This would also explain why most of the older captains go out of their way to help Ichigo. Like Ukitake and Kyōraku. Even Kenpachi himself.

Also notice the similarity in Kenpachis haori with Isshins. They are both frayed at the bottom.
