So Hein Ueda is captain of the 7th.

I was thinking that he was a rather recent recruit and/or newcomer to the Gotei in general. Because honestly, the dynamic of the hoodlum coming from the Rukongai to disrupt the system right as the Gotei is taking action against the Coven is interesting to me.

The problem is that Sajin joined the Gotei a year ago. If Hein wasn't there, why didn't Sajin just assume the empty spot? Me and N assume that Sajin perceived the need for a captain in the de-moralized 9th as being greater than the need for a captain of the 7th. So he went to take over Tousen's spot, leaving the 7th in the good hands of the small old guard of men loyal to him/his ideals.

Then we realized that Hisagi would be the issue. Sajin would have likely offered the 7th to Hisagi, but then either Hisagi refused the captaincy or Hein snatched the position before he could get there?

That's what I'm stuck on.
