I never said that you could feel it; when I said "every important spiritually aware person from SS" I meant VC and Captains. He could have been one; or someone could have filled him in (Yoruchi, Tessai) considering Kisuke's meeting with Isshin seemed to be the first one in years. Option 2 is a possibility though; I won't rule it out.
