Aizne said that Urahara left ALL his lab data in soul society...it's a bit weird. Urahara leaves the info on how to extract thing.... and, if it was part self-exile, why would he leave it behind?
Maybe it was confiscated from him before he could do anything about it, then again if that information had not been left behind, Aizen wouldn't have had any other option but to kill the Hogyoku bearer, in this case, Rukia. Urahara leaving *that* particular information behind did leave a secondary (incidentally less fatal) option open. Thus, Urahara might have left behind the info on the non-fatal extraction method (but NOT the blueprints to make it) on purpose for the eventuality he failed to hide the Hogyoku... thus could save the Hogyoku bearer's life (although Aizen was about to kill Rukia anyway because he's a meglomaniacal bastard ... Rukia fortunately had enough powerful people that cared enough about her who kept that from happening, thank god. Urahara was either very likely it was Rukia he put the Hogyoku in or this is all premeditated in either a very cosmic or purposeful way).
There also could be some as yet undisclosed side effect from the Hogyoku on it's bearer... Rukia might have been permanently changed by the Hogyoku (and through her, Ichigo), so that could be more reason for Urahara to leave the extraction method info behind in a last ditch attempt to save the Bearer.
Maybe the Hogyoku had to be inside her, because it had to (or would) be Rukia who met Ichigo and thus changed (or, perhaps more accurately, awakened) him. And, since he's the protagonist he's likely the world's only salvation (apart from Bound prophecies and such ;)... so Ichigo *had to* be awakened... and by Kaien Shiba's subordinate, adopted daughter of the Kuchiki clan.
dang gurl!! you are onto something. loving all this...now, as far as Tessai is concerned, i am more apt to think that tessai, ururu and Jinta are all some forms of gigais.
That could definitely be, the one thing that kind of makes me wary about Tessai cut from the same mold, per se, as Jinta and Ururu is that Tessai can do Level 99 Demon Magic. Even Aizen only pulled off Level 90. Tessai seems to be extremely skilled at Kidoh. Thus might lead to consider an inherent gift and possibly elite, long-term training at Shinigami Academy.
if he WERE a taicho..how is it that Ichigo's last name does not ring bells
Not having as much knowledge of the manga as I should admittedly... did Isshin go by his current name in Soul Society? I kind of always figured he changed his name post-SS as an extra precaution.
I am also inclined to think that Isshin's leaving may have something to do with Masaki, too.
Certainly not discounting that either. Particularly if there's something odd about Masaki (maybe Isshin encountered her first while he was still a Shinigami scouting the human world? Realizing she was one of a kind and not just for being an exceptional and beautiful human being).
AND, if it WAS only 20yrs ago...wouldn't that mean that Rukia would recognise him??
Of course, I don't really know what's up with Rukia. She seems to make no comparison really between Kaien and Ichigo (you'd think she'd do that all the time with how strikingly they look - even act - alike. Both Byakuya and Ukitake noted the similarities. Then again... Ganju and Kukaku made no mention of Ichi's likeness to Kaien either). I don't know, it almost seems Kubo infected Rukia and the Shiba clan with conventient bouts of Lois Lane syndrome... and Ichi's orange hair functions as Clark's magic glasses.
