Forum:Royal Guard

Kurosaki Isshin (Ichigo's father) used to be from the Royal Guard.

I have tried to fit him into the Gotei 13's timeline, but there are no spaces that fit him into their captain positions chronologically. There are also other clues, including the old speculated decision that he is of captain class, and the fact that his haori (white cloak) is shifted to the side and hung over his shoulder (possibly a mark of discarding their old squads after joining the royal guard.

He could be a member of the Royal Guard dismissed to the real world after he fell in love with Masaki, Ichigo's mother.

Of course, all these is simply speculation by me. Just what occurred to me after learning that there was a Royal Guard Squad (during the anime's Turn The Pendulum Back arc).

I would like to hear what other's think too!

The basic flaw here is that there are plenty of chronological holes in the history of the Gotei 13. The possibility is that he was the captain of the 10 Division at one point as he has apparently only been gone from soul society in 20 or so years. The fact that Urahara knows him would suggest that they have had a prior relationship. Considering there is an entire 100 yrs unaccounted for in which Urahara, Yoruichi and Tessai are gone as well as the vizards. leaving open the Kido Corps, 3rd division (until Gin who wasnt even in the 3rd division for a while as he has eventually become the lt of the 5th before for a time), 7th division (until Sajin), 9th Division (until Tosen), 10 Division. there are a number of possabilities but nothing can be said with certainity which he belonged though being he is a doctor id guess he served under unohana at some point. Also the Royal Guard doesnt exist in this dimension or soul society any longer, they exist in a dimension at the center of soul society to protect the soul king and his family. They dont leave, hence the reason aizen needs a key to get in, Therefore whats the likelihood that he would have met ichigo's mother. Salubri 16:00, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

it would make sense, 10ht division seems more involved in the matters of the real world so maybe in one of those missions Ishin met Masaki and the rest is history, we'll found out more ahead in the series
