New captains would not be a good idea right now. Not with the war going on and about every single captain either gone (Aizen, Gin, and Tousen), critically injured (Yamamoto, Soifon, Komamura, Shunsui, Hitsugaya, and Ukitake), or scattered between HM and FKT (Unohana, Kuchiki, Kenpachi, and Kurotsuchi). Who would intro them? Where would they fit into this story at the current moment?

Maybe after this Arc is over.
