Kind of like Dal's idea as well. I don't personally want to go 15 years post canon because that then affects the aging of the humans in the World of the Living. For example, Ichigo would be 32, not 27, and so-forth.

WHAT IF the assassination of all these captains was an event that takes place in the FC? We haven't SEEN the Gotei 13 yet, aside from a few lieutenants/officers as part of the task force, and with new captains coming in, it's reasonable to assume that the lieutenancy level tier could have changed in say, a year or so. (If we set this post ten years as opposed to post 15 years).

As for how many of the canon captains we should keep, I say strike a healthy balance here. Some of the captains on that survivor's list are down-right boring (Roujurou, Iba, anyone?) so I wouldn't mind seeing them replaced. That said, some of the fanon captains are downright boring as well, or the users are more or less non-active here.

I think if a major event, say a virus (or maybe some strange, living entity summoned by the Coven or something) were to wipe out a handful of these canon captains it could spur the Gotei 13 into action and serve to tie together all the separate plot threads we have going so far. This could be seen as the serious threat/next war/catalyst of the plot, I mean. The prospects that actually killing off characters would lead to are exciting, I think. It's what Kubo tried to do at the beginning of the Quincy arc and pulled out of. But we could go all the way here. Just saying.

(Also why the last chapter shipping Kubo arhjgahjhg really? whyyyyyyyyyyy.That said, why does Kazui/Rukia/Renji's kid story seem so much more interesting than Bleach post Hueco Mundo arc. Gah. Screw it. Just. I feel nothing but empty at this point. Not because I shipped Rukia/Ichigo (I did) but because what the HELL sort of ending was that? Aizen philosophizing was cool, yes, but other than that WHAT THE HELL, WHY TEN YEARS!??!?!? Was he copying Naruto here, like... what? Gaghhhghhhhh..... At least Chad finally went pro, heh heh.)

As for keeping/not keeping canon captains: I think we need a healthy balance here. Some of the captains are downright boring. T
