I have to apologies, I didn't really elaborate, just wrote that quickly. I think events that unfold in the finale will get him the promotion, between what he has to do in order to win the battle (future theory) the Hōgyoku, the SRDI, his gigai research, and not to forget returning bankai to all the captains. who knows if there is a limit to the royal guard, i doubt it very much, no mention of it. I just think he will help provide a huge turning point, more than he already has, and the whole wrap-up will include him becoming a royal guard or at least offered it.. and for the captain thing, he was one, and that counts for something
