I did think of that whole complex with ichigo but then i also remembered some things that have happened since the battle with the vandenreich. His found out he has family in the soul society (Shiba's) and that his father is an ex captain and what Byakuya said to him (something about protecting the soul society) as well as what i have said before about "everything is obtained" really he is an outsider but I could see Kubo surprising us he has done it before (though on a smaller scale than this). As for Kisuke and Tessai it would seem quite unlikely that central 46 will go back on what they have done but it has to be noted that they would realize that was Aizen's doing (Kyoraku if he really wanted one or both of them to come back would remind them of this) and not their own fault though they are stubborn at the best of times. As for what everyone has said about Renji becoming 8th's Captain i guess that is probably more likely than most of my suggestions (why did i overlook Renji!!??) but Hisagi i did think about but something put me off putting him there i can think about it now so maybe
