Of course I could be wrong. If Ichigo is a Shinigami/Quincy/Human/Hollow character I think that Kubo just kind of adds to the plot depending on what drug he'd taken that week then. |

isshin is definitely a captain-class shinigami, and yet very few shinigami knew him. even the name kurosaki didn't ring a bell. if isshin had been a formidable shinigami captain in gotei 13 then ichigo's last name would have alerted them to the possibility of him being his son. there was a theory about him being part of squad zero. i think that would explain why he's so powerful and yet so obscure. as for why he left, it might have something to do with the quincy and the blood war between them and the shinigami. maybe isshin fell in love with one and no longer wished to take part in that war. maybe that's why he and ryuuken became "friends".

*edit* One more thing I'd like to add on a unrelated note. I just remembered that in chapter 490, Opie claimed that it was impossible for his arrows to be stronger than Uryuu Ishida's. So does that foreshadow the possibility of their being something genetic about Quincy abilities, growth, and strength after all? Last edited by sayde; 2012-06-16 at 11:01. |

But troll I do not, tis simply a correction for good guy Sayde. I do not wish for fellers to be ignorant of their mistakes, least they be intentional.
Ichisaki Kurogo for example is no mistake of mine, but used it, I have

I'd like to point out something I see here, regarding the theories of Isshin defecting the quincy extermination due to love.
Quincy Extermination - 200 years in the past Average human lives at about 60 to 70 years. Unless Quincy have drastically longer life spans its just not viable.. Also, unless he had a very small role or something.. He either defected before TBTP, or after (in which he wasn't a captain, or had to be part of 0 squad, during TBTP). Due to Urahara knowing him so personally, I'd like to assume that either Isshin defected and later met Urahara, or when Isshin defected Urahara was already exiled. This leads me to assume that it's most likely he was actually a zero squad member, which is the easiest solution to him never appearing within SS. Due to Isshin knowing about the final getsuga tenshou, it leads me to believe him using that was the reason he lost his powers (almost seems like a duh tbh) Now, idk about you, but if Isshin was a Squad 0 member and was forced to use the final getsuga tenshou, that means he was fighting someone retardedly strong.. yet we have no idea who it was. The only opponent I can assume to match that, are other Squad 0 members themselves. This means he was disobeying an order he didn't agree with, leading to defection. Now, taking all evidence into account (him knowing Ryuuken personally, knowing Urahara), it's like that his disobeying orders indeed was related to a shinigami attack on quincies. It almost seems as though his defection happened between TBTP and current timeline, it's fair to assume 50 years before bleach 'started'. |

Too many possibilities, but unless Isshin was born into Zero squad or something, it's interesting that Ichigo's last name wasn't a reminder to old man Yama. The logical explanation being that Kubo didn't plan this far ahead back then and so never took it into account.

Or that Isshin changed his last name when he became a human? It's also possible he took his wife's last name. It happens in Japan sometimes depending on which family has the higher status. I have several male coworkers who have married and changed their last name after being "adopted" into their wife's family because that family had no male heirs.

It's been confirmed that they'll be making an appearance. And it should be any time now. Kubo's supposedly already worked on their character designs. And this is definitely the event he spoke of that will force them to finally get off their lazy asses.
