I was right, this is important. All of this information is classified, speak to no one of it with a rank lower than vice-captain.
If this person is a Captain as he claims, I am guessing his name was either Shinji, Kensei, or Rose. You don't have to tell me which. Those three are the only former Captains that are known to be alive, whose current whereabouts are unknown, and who would be angry to be forgotten. The three of them were among the group of captains and vices that vanished a little over a century ago.
The official text ends there. In reality, we lost a total of seven captains, including the captain of the Kidou Corps, and four vice-captains. It was the largest disaster in history, excepting the current day. The captain you spoke to was turned into a Hollow by Aizen, and saved by the exile Urahara Kisuke, turned into something new. They call themselves Vaizard.
I could be severely disciplined for telling you this, but there is no one left to discipline me. I'm sharing this information with you because I am trying to find the Vaizard. If I did guess right on his identity, this could be a very important discovery.

I'm going to be honest with you, Madarame-san - I almost resigned over this when it happened. The mass loss of captains and vices was reduced to a footnote, the judges were unwilling to even allow Kisuke to speak in his own defense, and those that suffered Hollowfication were sentenced to death before they even regained consciousness. If Yoruichi hadn't smuggled the whole lot away, I just might have cast off my haori right there.
What was done to the Vaizard and their supporters was barbaric, and we now know that they are still capable of self-control from the very scattered reports of sightings of them from the living world. We also know that Kisuke was telling the truth, that Aizen backstabbed us all. Yes, I want to bring them back, and appologize to them on the behalf of the reasonable side of Soul Society. I know you are no ally of Aizen, so I feel I can inform you that a major motivation for wanting them back is for their power. There will be another rebellion someday, and we need them.
This is a lot to swallow, Ukitake-taichou. I didn't know. Guess I can't have. What if they don't want to come back. This one did, but what if the others don't? When are they going to fill those empty seats? We're weaker than a new kid on the field and Aizen has us under his thumb, that bastard. The hell are we going to do?
Re: [Private]thirteenthsongNovember 10 2008, 00:38:06 UTC
If they won't come back, it's their choice. I feel confident that they hate Aizen more than us, though, and the ones responsible for their death warrant are, themselves, no more.
I don't know for certain what we are going to do about the open seats. We've never had to choose a replacement for Captain-Commander before, and there is all of one Shinigami that's still loyal, possesses bankai capability, and isn't already a captain. Even if he accepts, we're going to have to pass three more people via recommendation.
There's going to be changes, and soon. Expect to see announcements.

The position of Captain-Commander will likely be discussed at length, but I have considered myself in the position. Regardless, the more difficult decisions will be who takes the other open seats. There's been discussions amongst us as to asking potential candidates to take the tests, but aside from Abarai-san, there's nothing solid yet.
Re: [Private]thirteenthsongNovember 10 2008, 01:28:05 UTC
That's... actually not a bad idea. There must be several vice-captains close to achieving bankai. And perhaps others: I remember feeling your reiatsu during the battle for Karakura, you may be close yourself.
