Just a heads up, this is not taking place during TBtP (aka 110 years ago). The most obvious indicator is Gin, Tousen and Aizen being captains (they were seated officers in TBtP, and Gin was basically a toddler) and their talking about finding the Visoreds (which means this takes place after Urahara and co. flee from SS). That also means Byakuya is already a captain (since he became one around the same time that Gin did) and thus, I doubt Soujun will make any sort of appearance. I'd say this is taking place around 20-ish years ago, the time when Isshin will lose his powers (and Hitsugaya will become captain) and that we won't see much of SS anymore, since the focus will go to what Isshin does in the Human World
No, I know, that's why I'm referencing it as TBTP2. I still wonder if we won't get more flashbacks to an earlier time, or even the brief sort of "cameos" we had with the original arc where we saw some very young shinigami. I guess we'll just have to see what happens.
For my part, I'd like a whole arc describing the original Yamamoto-Unohana-Shunsui-Ukitake gang, but that will never happen.
I was so surprised to see Toushirou as third seat! Isshin being a Shiba and captain of the Thenth I had long suspected, but that bit was unexpected. I figured Matsumoto could have been around but I hadn't necessarily counted on her being vice-captain.
Well, well, well.... either the fans were right the whole time, or Kubo-sensei makes it all up as he goes according to their wishes XD
Not that I'm complaining! This chapter was awesome and it shed some light on matters... like the 10th captain Shunsui refered to in Pendulum as KIA... never thought he talked about Isshin :) Poor Rangiku, she really doesn't have any luck at all Y_Y
Although I'm surprised his story takes place during the pendulum arc... Always thought it would go waaaay back to the Quincy wars... Well... :)
Aaaaand our old trio back in the spotlight! XD Been so long since I last saw Sousuke, my heart's going nuts... *dreamy*
so, Ichi does look like Kaien. now we know why. And holy shit. Matsumoto and Hitsugaya. I hadnt thought about such a close timeline. But well on the other side, Ichi is only 17 and human. It couldnt be that long ago, right?
Gosh, Kubo, I'm still in love with the way, he tells a story
Isshin is quite a handful, wow. A small town doctor. Who would have guessed, all those years ago? I agree that it's weird, with the shinigami not knowing. Kukaku was friendly enough, but she didn't give anything away, either.
I wonder... some of the temporal discrepancies might be excused as "time not flowing at an even rate all the time," or somesuch. Still, nice save :-)
