Guess we're going to have to agree to disagree on this part. I thought his actions in the first arc was quite polar opposite to his later action in the manga. In the first arc he was willing to kill both Ukitake and Kyoraku for destroying the Sōkyoku regardless if they were his favorite students and the first captains in the academy he created.
