Once again all that doesnt matter, a captain is more then the power he wields or controls. Ichigo is very one note as a person. His connection to the gotei 13 is allied at best he is outside of their system. He is shinigami by coincidence. Putting him into a position he doesnt have the will or strength of character for makes little to no sense. If being powerful and determined was the only answer to become a captain Renji and Ikkaku would have been one as soon as spots opened up.
