Forum:New Captains

Ok well so we already know that the Power of Soul Society rests in the captains of the Gotei 13. But currently they have no captains for Divisions 3, 5 and 9 leaving their strength lower then it should be. So the question is who if any should replace them. Now i know they could possibly fill in from outside current characters kinda like with Amagai for the 3rd division, but unfortunately that was only for a filler story arc. But outta of the current characters we know of who has what it takes to eventually become a captain i wonder. I have no idea for the 3rd or 5th but i think Hisagi could be a good candidate i mean he has had more experience then most vice captains and he would seem to follow a tradition of 9th division involvement, if only he knew his bankai. But even still i know some would say renji or ikkaku, but even with bankai they still dont know the full capabilities and not to mention they dont seem like they wanna leave their position, especially Ikkaku.

I think Hisagi and Kira would be good captains for their divisions, but it will take some time untill they achieve bankai. Ikkaku and Renji already know Bankai, but they are to hot-tempered to become a captain and both lack skill in kido. Personnally i think we will never see a new captain. At the time the vizard were exiled, Gin Ichimaru was still a child and it surely has taken some time for him to become captain of the 3rd division (as he was aizens lieutenant first) and that means the third division was without a captain for years, meaning that it sometimes take near a half century to elect new captains.--Suzumushi 17:15, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Not to mention Renji doesnt look like he is going anywhere and Ikkaku doesnt want to leave Kenpachi's command. Knowing Kido helps but its not entirely necessary your proficient in it. I just think theyre lack of full experience with their bankai as well as their attitude dont make them candidates. I also would like Hisagi and Kira but i dont know kira doesnt seem there yet but Hisagi seems mentally ready to handle the responsibility as he currently is acting captain of his division in that way. Kira seems more put off by the prospect of being charge but there's potential there i think. Salubri 20:20, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
