*Whines* Awwwww I only barely got to see Shuuhei-kun and his potential new look T^T


I'm disappointed e.e Not just because of the aforementioned but because it was so damn short >.<

Most likely would probably be Ukitake, though the issue is his illness...But the CC rarely enters the battle field anyway o.e So it might not be an issue.

CC Kenpachi: How about we take all the strong Shinigami and make them fight me?

Yeah that wouldn't go over well XD

I think that Toshiro would replace him. Reason being that he's much younger than all of the other captains, but his reiatsu is still captain's level. Sure, he can't hold his bankai for long, but imagine how strong he will get once he's older, if he's kept training, which he definitely would. The head captain would go from fire to ice. xD

XD Then who'd replace Toshiro? o.o Meh, maybe one of the lieutenants will..Now there's enough captains that Shuuhei could gain a promotion without having to learn Bankai and get closer to his sword...Which he'd only do if he had no other choice and for the sake of SS and his loved ones.

Maybe Ikkaku or Renji would finally step up instead of clinging to their captains. o.o

Ikkaku isn't clinging to his captain really e.e He just wants to die under his command XD

Renji, again isn't clinging..If he were offered a captain position he'd take it because that puts him on more equal ground with Byakuya and hence forth a step closer(in his mind) to surpassing him...However, I don't think his temperament makes for captain material just yet..Though, he did seem to mature over these last seventeen months so maybe he would be a decent captain once he got into the swing of things.

e.e Same shiz. Like I would go in-depth with this when I'm in the middle of class. . . >->

Well I suppose XD But apparently Sasakibe did too so...>.>

My rundown on the possible successors to CC:
Ichigo- not a chance. His thing is staying in Karakura to defend it, which he wouldn't be able to do as CC
Soi Fon- Maybe, though it seems unlikely that she would leave her lieutenant in charge of Squad 2
Unohana- No. She is not a fighter
Byakuya- I wish. Sadly, no. From what I understand, it has been a tradition in the Kuchiki Family that the head of the house is the Captain of Squad 6.
Komamura- There's a good possibility for him to do so. He is very loyal to Yamamoto, and might move to succeed him.
Kyoraku- Good possibility, but I doubt it. He can be serious, but that doesn't happen much. I mean, his Zanpakatou's main power is turning children's games into reality.
Hitsugaya- There's a good possibility of that happening. He's shown that he's capable of running multiple squads when he took Squad 5 under his wing after Aizen's betrayal. Not to mention he's very strong at that age, as mentioned before, and has been working very hard on mastering his Bankai, as seen after the fight with Aizen concluded and he was working his ass off to do so.
Kenpachi- No, for the same reason as Byakuya. It is Soul Society tradition that the Kenpachi is in charge of Squad 11. Hence, Zaraki defeated the 10th Kenpachi in order to officially become the 11th Kenpachi to lead Squad 11.
Kurotsuchi- Oh God no.
Ukitake- Unfortunately, no. His illness holds him back from doing some Captain work as is, making him CC would be a huge mistake.
Urahara- No, if he was going to be brought back into Seireitei, he'd have been brought back by now. I mean, he was the one who sealed Aizen, officially beating him.
Yoruichi- Not a prayer.
Isshin- No. For whatever reason, he's not an official Shinigami anymore, so he's out.

Now how in the world was I supposed to resist this? Come on Titus! v.v

XDD

You know I did that just for you NYC.

Also Unohana is a fighter, she's in the same class as Urahara, her Bankai shouldn't be used in battles because it's rapey.

Well I really wanna know what it is =3=

Idk It'd be a perfect ending. Ichigo does what he loves and his family moves to Soul Society. At the moment in his development though he is unable to be CC because he lacks the patience

Maybe in the epilogue set in the future, it would work, but not as he is

Soi Fon- Maybe, though it seems unlikely that she would leave her lieutenant in charge of Squad 2

Soi Fon would kill anyone that pissed her off, also she's majorly prone to being corrupted by Yoruichi

That doesn't mean that she would move to Squad 1

Unohana- No. She is not a fighter

Unohana is a fighter, there's a reason people are scared of her

Fine, she is a threatening figure, I'll give you that, but there's also a reason why her Bankai is a giant Manta ray that heals people by eating them.

Byakuya- I wish. Sadly, no. From what I understand, it has been a tradition in the Kuchiki Family that the head of the house is the Captain of Squad 6.

And Byakuya has a higher understanding of what goes into being the CC. He is one of the best candidates but alas his family's tradition.

I would very much like to see him as CC as well. The only way, though, is if he names Rukia head of the Kuchiki house and makes her Squad 6 Captain, which is unlikely as Rukia isn't really a Kuchiki

Komamura- There's a good possibility for him to do so. He is very loyal to Yamamoto, and might move to succeed him.

LolNo. Komamura would see it as an insult to the man that saved his life, unless Yamamoto was killed by someone that would be the only reason Komamura would go about becoming Captain. Also he is a gray area due to the fact he's hardly been developed as a character.

I don't think he would see it as an insult. He'd be carrying on Yamamoto's legacy by taking over if Yamamoto died to save Soul Society.

Kyoraku- Good possibility, but I doubt it. He can be serious, but that doesn't happen much. I mean, his Zanpakatou's main power is turning children's games into reality.

The only reason Kyoraku isn't serious is because he knows he's strong, as seen when fighting Stark I guarantee then he was only fighting with a quarter of his power just like Stark was.

Yamamoto knows he's strong, and you don't see him goofing around. Same with Byakuya. And Hitsugaya, who may very well be stronger than Kyoraku when he reaches Kyoraku's current age.

Hitsugaya- There's a good possibility of that happening. He's shown that he's capable of running multiple squads when he took Squad 5 under his wing after Aizen's betrayal. Not to mention he's very strong at that age, as mentioned before, and has been working very hard on mastering his Bankai, as seen after the fight with Aizen concluded and he was working his ass off to do so.

Agreeing with this

Kenpachi- No, for the same reason as Byakuya. It is Soul Society tradition that the Kenpachi is in charge of Squad 11. Hence, Zaraki defeated the 10th Kenpachi in order to officially become the 11th Kenpachi to lead Squad 11.

Wut? Kenpachi? Lol! You don't even need to go into tradition. As NYC made the meme, that's what it'd be like.

Fine. Take away the tradition. There's still the matter that he's the only Captain who doesn't use Kido, as well as being the only one who doesn't know the name of his Zanpakatou. He's really only Captain BECAUSE he's the Kenpachi.

Kurotsuchi- Oh God no.

I wouldn't say that, I mean he has a good head on his shoulder, there's just a stereotype that he's completely crazy in fact his personality shone through during the battle with Ssazyel

Yes, he does have a very good head, in times where he will either die (Szayel) or in times where the stability of the world is at stake (Quincy uprising). Outside of that.... questionable.

Ukitake- Unfortunately, no. His illness holds him back from doing some Captain work as is, making him CC would be a huge mistake.

Not a huge mistake, we don't exactly know what his illness is. He could be the CC even be the temporary CC if need be.

I don't think there's such thing as Temporary CC. And sure, we don't know what his illness is. But what we do know is that it has restricted him from doing full Captain work since before the series began. Moving him up to CC work, even just Temporary, if it exists, would only add on the stress, which is not a good thing to do for someone who has any illness, and especially for one that has reached the stage it has for Ukitake.

Urahara- No, if he was going to be brought back into Seireitei, he'd have been brought back by now. I mean, he was the one who sealed Aizen, officially beating him.

Yoruichi- Not a prayer.

Isshin- No. For whatever reason, he's not an official Shinigami anymore, so he's out.
Effectively we know nothing about all three to be able to fully judge if they could be CC each is strong enough to be which mean they are strong for a reason

Yes, they are strong for a reason. However, they are all separate from Soul Society for one reason or another. So they're out of the game unless Central 46 says otherwise.
