Forum:Royal Guard's power

A royal guard is a captain promoted is it possibly that a royal guard has twice the power of a gotei 13 captain execpt yamamoto if aizen was so powerful why in all his years has a captain was not promoted and if so who can win this match up Aizen vs Kirio Chitinkhuwa 06:20, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

Because he was hiding and surpressing his reiatsu so no one would know how powerful he really is. That's why everyone was so surprised when he owned them like flies. Ergroilnin 12:52, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

if that is true meaning during aizen's vice captain days he was Captain class and he could own a captain and he didn't want to become a captain at the time until he's plans for hollowfication of the captains and vice captains who arrived was completed--{chitinkhuwa}

Who are qualified to be Royal Guards?
I believe Royal Guards are powerful. Saying this, I believe that Unohana, Ukitake, and Kyoraku are qualified to be Royal Guards. My question is, why aren't they? Is Yama-ji holding them to stay in Gotei 13? What are your thoughts? --WinterFox 02:36, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I beleive all three and possibly Toshiro r strong enough. But look at the squads. They r currently three captains short as is. If they send any more away the Gotei 13 will really be in trouble. Minato 02:43, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Minato that Gotei 13 is short of captains. But, do you think way before the current events, there was a time that those 3 had been requested to join the Royal Guard? Also, is Byakuya's grandfather (sorry, forgot his name, was it Ginrei?) in the Royal Guard, too? If I recall correctly, you are not allowed to retire from being a Shinigami (else you'll be in the Maggot's Nest). Can shinigamis also die a natural death (meaning of old age)? I don't think so. I don't believe that he died in battle, either. --WinterFox 03:00, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
