Where in the anime did it state that? And the way Renji made it sound, a Shinigami gets a certain area to patrol for an extended period of time, so that kind of doesn't make sense. That, and the fact that it takes forever to get to Earth from SS (relatively, compared to how fast hollows can appear/disappear) and hollows appear randomly. It just doesn't make sense to have a patrol area without someone patroling it.Originally posted by: anphorus

Hmm... Very good points. I didn't remember that thing Ciber mentioned. However, if you are out on a mission to hunt hollows, maybe it would be good if the hollows are attracted to you... Could make the hunting easier.
Well, the answer to Renji's gigai might also be that he was sent simply to keep an eye on Ichigo. Although Ichigo's ability to sense reiatsu is doubtful at best, perhaps having a gigai was still a better option. At least that way Ichigo wouldn't be seen so often talking to thin air. Even if he is seen ripping another male's clothes off. Still, sending another rebel as a spy could be considered a risky decision.
I assumed that, since it wouldn't make sense for a shinigami to patrol an area for longer than a couple of hours tops. She would then return to SS and come back again the next day (someone else taking the nightshift presumably) as she would only be there less than 24 hours she wouldn't need a gigai. However Renji's visit to earth seems to be indefinate in length, he is basically temporarily stationed there, living with Urahara and so forth.Originally posted by: Ero-Fan

Well, the other reason I figured that they have Shinigami stay on Earth for extended periods is because it took SS a long ass time to figure out that Rukia had gone missing and send someone after her. If she was supposed to only be on temporary duty, wouldn't they have come and got her after she missed her shift change? Even if they assumed she was dead, another Shinigami would have shown up that much sooner then. The fact it took them so long to notice her missing, or Ichigo screwing things up, kinda led me to believe they had long assignments.

i still dont see where the hell it says rukia only got her gigai and met urahara AFTER she met ichigo.Originally posted by: Ero-Fan
Well, then Rukia must have been a little slow, because she didn't have a gigai until she lost all her power to Ichigo. Stupid Rukia. Then again, she might not have had enough power to warrant recieveing a gigai to hide her presence. Weak. But that would make more sense.Originally posted by: Ciber
It's because they attract hollows in their normal form and they are a danger in general when they walk around with so much power.Originally posted by: Ero-Fan

There has to be some reason why Renji got himself a gigai - unless it was just because he likes to eat.
That picture of the human looking hollow doesn't tell us much. Its all wrapped up and you can't even see its lower half.
Anyways, maybe it's just that Renji wanted to see why Rukia wanted to pretend to be a human for so long. You know, kinda see what all the fuss was about. That, or you're right and they can't sustain themselves on Earth without it.
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

So where was it, and why didn't she just use that one instead of the one Urahara gave her? And wouldn't a lifless body that looks exactly like her mess things up a bit?
"Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside me! But it'll help."
well she could've met urahara BEFORE she met ichigo, why hasnt anybody thought of this? and if they have why havent they said anything?

They show a flash back of him offering her the use of a body after she gave all he power to Ichigo. I forget what episode that was in, but I do recall it.
"Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside me! But it'll help."
no she was just beaten and on the floor and urahara came and said "well now, shall i lend you a gigai?" what makes you think rukia couldn't have been hurt before that one battle?

Because if she had one previously, why wouldn't she just use that one? Its not like she knew that Urahara's would help her hide or anything.Originally posted by: Chaoskiddo

OK so little diversion from the current discussion. Since in SS three captains have gone missing now for what seems like an unknown amount of time and look like traitors at the same time, the squads the left behind will need new captains. Discuss who you think they will be.
I think that Renji is certainly a candidate, since he has managed to attain his Bankai. Ichigo could be offered a squad to lead, but he doesn't have any experience of what it is like to be in a squad, let alone have responsibility in one.
The third captain is trickier. It could be that since the circumstances are so unique, that Uruhara is recalled to SS to become a captain again, since he would have the expertise to do something about the Hyougyouku. This could cause problems with Mayuri, since he leads Uruhara's old squad and is now head of research.
Apart from this, I think they only other that is is with a remote chance of being made captain is Matsumoto... she seemed to be willing to go up against Gin so she must have some abiliity, though i still think she would lose to him in a fight easily. She needs to get stronger...
And I can't see Yourouichi leading a squad.... she doesn't seem like one who would take orders from old man Yamamamoto...
I doubt urahara or yourichi would take the job. Keep in mind that the captains have to attain bankai, so for now it looks like only Renji quailfies.
I agree that these are the two most likely candidates, it's already been said that in order to become a Captain you have to learn Bankai, and these are the only two non-captain shinigami that we've seen so far who have acheived this. Renji would most likely become the new Captain of Aizen's new squad, as that was the one he started out in. Ichigo would likely become the captain of Tousen's old squad, if he was appointed Captainship at all, his inexperience as well as him still being technically alive may hinder this though. Perhaps offered a position as a seated officer until he learns the ropes? As for Gin's old squad the only choice I can think of is to promote Kira, I'm not sure if he's powerful enough yet, but SS may just have to make do for now.Originally posted by: DB_Hunter

Ichigo could be offered a squad to lead, but he doesn't have any experience of what it is like to be in a squad, let alone have responsibility in one.I honestly can't see them taking him back, simply because exile is a pretty big punishment, in old societies it was the equivalent of a Death Sentence for the upper class (as they couldn't be put to death) so I don't see them taking him back when there are plenty more Shinigami in SS. Also for the reasons you mentioned, I can't see Mayuri giving up his position and I can't see urahara having any other.The third captain is trickier.
