I share your theory on Ninigi being the Soul King, or at the very least, the "first" Soul King. As I've written in the newly changed Sozoshin page, I think there have been times when the Soul King has "died" in the past. The mere fact that people like Kyoraku and Yoruichi were so casually able to figure out methods to stabilize or replace the King suggests that, in the history of Soul Society, this tragedy has most likely happened before. And perhaps mass extinctions on earth may have been a result of the destruction brought on by the King's death and his eventual replacement being thrown in.

Perhaps we should start from "Year -2100" and start thinking it out from there. 2100 years prior to the canon start. Basically, at the founding of Shinou Academy, or as it was known back then, the "Genji School". Yamamoto's title, "Genryusai", is probably the same kinda name as "Battousai". It's a title signifying mastery of a combat style. Why did he exactly found this school? What is the state of the spiritual world at this point?
