Interesting theory but some of the timelines dont quite match...

Auswahlen happened recently - basically when Ichigo's mum died. he was already a captain then.

He was also probably a captain around the time of the Quincy extermination, which was about 200 years ago. We can only go back about 100 years to confirm - at the time of the Hollowfication process, but we also know that they were the first graduates of the Academy, which would have taken place a long way back as well, meaning he was already a Shinigami by the time they were exterminated.

That plus his family being aristocratic, unless he was adopted...

Interesting theory tho
