UPDATE! Apparently the original 10th Squad Captain is NOT dead. According to translations of an interview, here's the info:

Q : May I ask you about the 10th division captain from the past? (TBTP)

A : OOO isn't dead. OOO is perfectly fine in OOOOOO

Q : The so-called OOOOO, do you mean OO is OO?

A : yeap, OO is OO. At that time the candidate was the 10th division vice captain-OOO(nt: someone's name),who was originally to be promoted as captain, but...

Q : Woo, I felt there is an incredible spoilers coming up.

A : yeap, OOOO (laugh). But alot of things happened, so..eventually, OOOO,OOO hitsugaya toushiro is promoted. OO is OOOOOOO.

Q : eh? could it be at that time OOOOO is involved?

A : yeap, OOOO. If OOOOO, such OO should do. (laugh)

Q : Personally, I would have expect if OOOOO, OO will be the vice captain, but I was totally wrong (laugh)

A : That's interesting (laugh).

Q : The thing that's hanging in Syazel Apporo's lab, how is that happening?

A : ah, OOO.The drawing was OOO and OOO.

Q : (while reviewing shonen comics-ジャンプ.コミックス) ahh!!! eh--??!! Indeed!! It really is OOOO (laugh)

A : your reaction makes me feel so happy (laugh).

Q : Why thank you (laugh). From now on, are you gonna develop OOOOOO?

A : perhaps there will be no connection with OOO,but I think will be in connection with OOOO. OOOOO.

Q : hold on a sec(laugh). Just now, do you mean OOOOOOO ?

A : (laugh)

Q : If it is OOO, then this will be the next series?

A : not the next series, its the next next series. Now OOOO is already OOOOO, its all already in OOOOO state/condition.

Q : oh(laugh)!?

A : Even in this state, OOO still maintains the original look, although OOOOOOOOOOO (laugh). If OOOOO,for OOOOO its like a OOOOO device, OOOOOO (laugh).

MORE INTERESTING STUFF. As I read further into the thread, I couldn't help but agree with an observation of one of "Aizen's followers" during Chapter 415. This particular character is THOUGHT to be similar to Yamada Seinosuke...though there are several differences from the picture provided in MASKED compared to this fellow, the creepy one. The hair is completely different, the chin and nose appear flatter on Yamada...

I'll just make a new blog post ~_~;;
