To be honest, it was established very quickly that he isn't dead in the literal sense, as in one chapter after the reveal; 592 had Mayuri theorizing he was zombified before death, and Giselle confirming that theory, so if Mayuri reverses the zombification it's all good. Either that or he'll enslave him and Rangiku like he did with Kensei and Rose, which would be hilarious.
