Chapter 45 - 045: Captain Assessment
Shunsui was very direct, straight to the point.
Seeing that Mazuru was a little surprised when he heard this, he explained, "Originally your Captain Jushiro should have said this to you, but since I encountered you first, it doesn't hurt to tell you ahead of him."
"Because of Urahara Kisuke's incident, there is an unprecedented vacancy for the captains' position in the Soul Society."
"Currently, the captains of the Second, Third, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, and Twelfth Divisions are all vacant, and many of them are vacant for both captain and vice-captain positions. Well, the original 3rd seats can temporarily manage the work of vice-captains, but the captain is different."
"No one who can become the captain is a weak or incapable person. There are not many such strong people in the entire Seireitei."
"This morning, the old man Yama found me and Jushiro, and mentioned the selection of a new captain. Among them, he specifically mentioned your name..."
To be honest, Shunsui is also a little puzzled.
Although Mazuru is a promising vice-captain, he is not particularly outstanding among the vice-captains of Gotei 13. In terms of strength, he is not weak, but no one knows Mazuru's true strength until he goes all out.
Why does old man Yama wants to promote Mazuru to be the new captain?
Although he was puzzled, on second thought, he also expressed his understanding. After all, after such an accident, six captains of Gotei 13 Division left at the same time, and many vice-captains were also missing.
At this time, the priority must be to fill those vacancies.
