Yamamato is a paper pusher. Certain rules are there due to tradition. But if all you needed was to beat someone up and then disappear to take charge of the second division he would have secretly given Urahara the job.
Why stop at one? He isn't there to complain, so secretly assign him new positions, until he is, on paper, the head of each division, completely unbeknownst to him. Then all the former heads take the day off.

...Now I wanna see someone do that. You'd have to have all the captains start Looping, but that's no obstacle.

For bonus points, do it to a non-Looping Kisuke.

Anyway, back on topic: Did Kisuke ever beat a Second Division Captain? Because what I had in mind for the "beat them at their own game" thing was something like "successfully ambush the Second Division Captain, or beat the Eleventh Division Captain in a duel, or beat the First Division Captain period, or..."

No. The one scene we see him fight against a captain he loses. Badly.

No, but he was a 'member' of the Second Division at one time.

To be fair, it was against Aizen.

It's strongly implied that Kisuke can thrash Meyuri bare-handed (being able to do that to any of the prisoners in SS's prison is a prerequisite for becoming the warden).

Actually, I was talking about Yoruichi. Aizen wasn't a captain when he beat Urahara.

Shirosaki continued his near-silent walk down the halls of Las Noches, wandering about the large palace, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The first shoe had dropped when Grimmjow had returned from an attack upon Karakura Town with his Fracci¾n. As Shirosaki expected, only Grimmjow remained. And when T?sen had tried to punish the Sexta Espada, Shirosaki had stopped his sword.

<hr>

ShirosakiÆs eyes stared down at the blind Shinigami. ôOnly I am allowed to punish the Arrancar; not you.ö

T?sen didnÆt even deign it necessary to even face the Primera. ôHis disobedience to Lord Aizen cannot be tolerated and thus, must learn the price of not knowing his place.ö

Instead of responding, Shirosaki lashed out with a kick, sending the former Captain into the wall by several centimeters, followed by a hacking cough of blood.

ôWe are not AizenÆs subordinates,ö Shirosaki stated calmly. ôWe are in a mutually beneficial relationship. We serve each other as long as such a relationship remains beneficial.

ôHe does not rule us anymore than we rule him; he is but a client for our services.

ôDo not forget your place,ö Shirosaki replied, before turning to face the Sexta à and lifting him off the ground by his neck.

ôAs I was saying, I will punish Grimmjow for disobeying the rules, my rules.

ôHis actions, after all, have cost us several Arrancar and given the enemy a taste of our power, let alone the differences in power we may offer against their own forces.ö

Grimmjow didnÆt even have time to try to muster any force to free himself from ShirosakiÆs grip, before a bala slammed into his wounded chest, sending him into the wall next to T?sen, just as deeply.

Turning slightly, Shirosaki focused on one of his minor Fracci¾n, a medical one. ôTake them both to be healed, report any à disruptions they create to me.ö

Aizen just kept his usually passive look on his face as he watched the two being carted off. ôYou have a way with words, Primera.ö

ôI am Primera for a reason, Aizen; a fact I hope you remember, and do not underestimate, as Baraggan failed.ö

<hr>

Lifting up a hand, he caught a massive punch aimed at his face, the force of the punch enough to crack the walls along the corridor, as Shirosaki turned.

ôYo,ö the tall Arrancar stated with a smirk.

ôAnd you are?ö Shirosaki asked.

ôYammy Llargo,ö the large being stated with a smirk. ôSuerte, I thought this might be a short fight.ö

Shirosaki continued to stare at the Arrancar with his two-toned eyes.

ôAnd now, I can fight the trash before me,ö Yammy finished with a smirk, before his free hand grabbed the hilt of his Zanpakut?. ôBe enraged, IrùACK!ö

Returning his Zqanpakuto to his back, Shirosaki tossed YammyÆs fist to the side, as the Arrancar split in two, and collapsed on either side of the hallway. ôYou should have been informed of my rules of using Resurrecci¾n within Las Noches,ö he stated, walking further down the corridor.

ôPity, the cleaning staff was hoping to go a time without disposing of remains,ö he commented idly, wondering if this was AizenÆs opening move against him, or a test, as the man was so familiar to use.

At this rate, I wonder if any of the original Espada we fought will even make it to invade Karakura Town, he internally grumbled.

And yet the loops themselves started with Naruto. Taste the irony. Live in an unsightly manner and enjoy something spawned by Naruto.
 
Ever heard of Instant Awesome Just Add Ninja? I think there's something similar going on with Ranma. Instant Chaos Just Add Ranma, maybe. And chaos is fun to watch, so the Ranma loops took off like none of the others. After all, there's only so much you can do when your characters can all be loosely described as "sane," but just about none of the characters from Ranma 1/2 can really be said to be all there, even Ranma himself.

You have to say with some degree of honesty that the Appeal of the Ranma series and it's characters are their flaws. Every character has them, some are funny(most of them in my opinion), but some are just out there.

Getting lost so bad you cross oceans without notice?

Being so scared of Cats it turns you into one.... with a twelve degree black belt?

Being so blind you confuse a short fat statue for Shampoo's.... body.... Even by touch????

Akane's Cooking - enough said.

Akane's lack of swimming talent.

Akane's...... if I keep this up I might forget she's actually one of my favorites characters......

Anyway, you can't take Ranma serious. It's a little off the wall, but it's actually not that far from normal even with the Magic and the Martial Arts. My logic for that statement is that while both are abused and bashed greatly in fanfictions ( and tortured slowly in these loops ) they are severely down played compared to other Animes and Books. The Dragonball/Street Fighter Universes and the Harry Potter universe both abuse greatly Magic and Martial Arts far greater than Ranma ever had.

Besides, the point of the loops is that a ridiculous, near infinite time has passed for these people with little to no new distractions.

As stated before, Ranma is only so good because of (Fan Base) and having nothing else to do except train. It's practically a series of just filler..... and I just depressed myself....

Death to Filler, Replace it with Fan Fiction.

The problem there (for me at least) is plenty of people do take Ranma 1/2 seriously, forgetting it is a comedy and your not suppose to take the characters' negative behavior seriously. It would be like taking Monty Python seriously.

It was bashing that ruined Ranma fanfiction for me. I grew tired of it-the characters were starting to sound like broken records. Saying "Ranma no Baka" and hitting Ranma with Mallet-Sama was all Akane did anymore. Maybe that has changed in the last few years since I've stopped following the fandom, but I just don't have it in me to go back.

You're not missing anything: it's still a broken record of "baka ranma's" and "arien's" and other overused gags. There are a few fics I take exception to, but those are more epic in scale. Such as the "Dark Lords of Nerima" fic and its sequel, "The Dark Lords Strike Back."

<a href='http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeriousBusiness' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>What do you mean Ranma 1/2 isn't serious business? </a> The Nasuverserse is one example of a serious serious (heck, it starting out as an eroge and all), it still didn't stop the creators from making Carnival Phantasm.

Ranma 1/2 could become a pretty dark series on its own. BUt yeah, it is a comedy, but that's just not enough for some people. And now back to Bleach Time Loops.

I meant no offense, I just don't think Takahashi-san intended for people to take Ranma 1/2 seriously. As I said the series is a comedy one that from what I understand tends to poke fun at Japanese Stereotypes.

A lot of the more "moral ambigous" things the characters did made sense to the Japanese Audience. I believe <a href='http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ValuesDissonance/Anime' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Value Dissonance</a> played a part in the Western Audience missing that point.

Nodoka Saotome and her seppuku pledge; a Western attitude would have been to dismiss the stupid thing on several grounds (she never agreed to it ù it was Genma who declared he'd do it and then wrote it up before running off, she really does love her son and doesn't want to have to kill him, the pledge is so ambiguous as to be impossible to live up to it). The Japanese attitude is that Nodoka is, while suffering, a good, loyal, dutiful woman to keep it alive and be consoled to murdering her own family if she decides they haven't lived up to it. Being willing to commit suicide herself after executing them is seen as romantically tragic.

i agree with you about ranma fanfics. in fact the only good one i've ever read is
"Ranma, the Second Time Around" by kayemsi. it's over 1million words and like 70 chapters. to bad the auther hasn't wrote anything in years. It honestly is the only ranma ranfic i liked.

He knew he shouldnÆtà

He REALLY knew he shouldnÆtà

But really, when life presents you such an opportunityùand especially after the last Loop with the Digger Sistersùhe had to take it. ôOkay,ö Ichigo started. ôI can easily tell the real Rangiku from the fake!ö

ôSo can we,ö Toshiro responded numbly. ôWe just arrived.ö

ôNo, no,ö Ichigo responded. ôShe could be a fake, a Reigai, pretending to be the original, to lure you into a false sense of security!ö

Toshiro snorted. ôWhat are the chances?ö

<hr>

In Soul Society, two created Reigai who were copies of Momo Hinamori, sneezed.

<hr>

ôBut my way is fool-proof!ö Ichigo claimed. ôObserve!ö With that, he vanished into a single Hoh?, and appeared between the two copies of Rangiku Matsumoto à and engaged his technique.

ôSTEALTH GOOSE!ö

As the two versions squeaked and grabbed their backsides, Ichigo stepped between them. ôAh, yes,ö he muttered. ôThe one on my left had a very firm and toned backsideà

ôAs we know the real Rangiku loves to sleep during work hours and drink à IT CANNOT BE HERS! SHE IS THE FAKE!ö

ôHEY!ö yelled both versions.

ôà Wow,ö Toshiro muttered. ôThat à makes absolute senseàö

ôBut Captain!ö both Rangiku moaned.

ôHey!ö the Reigai yelled. ôWhy does having a fit body automatically make me the fake! Maybe the fake is just lazy!ö

ôI am not lazy!ö yelled the real Rangiku. ôI just à you know, know how to pace myself!ö

He did wonder how long the argument would lastà But he remembered a certain rule that the Elder Loopers had informed him of: there is no fun à but what you make.

Agreed, bashing has just gotten to the point it kills fics for me.

Though, Innortal has a good Ranma fic. It's overpowered, but he's the lover of the Choushin, and 20,000 years old, so it's excused.

Thank you.

Just sorry my muse is fighting me on adding to that. I, though, offer my love from fans for that story being the simple fact that unlike many fusions and even mega-fusions, I took the time to try and fit those universes together, instead of just saying 'just because'.

Groping women in public would normally piss everyone involved off... Good for you, Ichigo, for coming up with an excuse to do so that keeps everyone but the women you groped off your back!

In other words, that was amusing, Innortal. (Of course, how much so is not for me to say; I tend to understate things.)

sorry let me correct myself "Ranma The Second Time Around" by kayemsi is 1,010,374 words and 93 chapters. And i can get away with this cause this is a fic that actually is centered around time travel! lol
 
I know this isn't great, but at least it's a thought. Just a bunch of ideas that got mixed together. Yamamoto is looping.


Yamamoto and Ichigo are sitting on a roof in soul society sipping tea. Explosions keep occuring in the background.
"Wow Jiji, never thought this would happen." Exclaimed Ichigo.
"Neither did I, neither did I."
"But to think putting on a viewing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, in movie form, so you could show me where you used to work. I mean wow."
"Well, I didn't think this would happen either," Yamamoto replied with a shrug. "To think Mayuri used to be Frank-N-Furter."
Indistinct shouting from Mayuri can be heard in the background about killing whoever made his life into a movie.
"And to think that it should probably be called Za-Rocky instead," commented Ichigo. "Though I do wonder. If it took seven days to make Zaraki, how long did it take to make Nemu?"
Yamamoto shrugs, "Hell if I know."
"More tea sir?" Inquires Sasakibe, in a butler suit, as he offers Yamamoto more tea. Followed by Hanataro also in a butler suit offering Ichigo tea.
"Not right now, Sasakibe," Yamamoto replies waving him off. "Gotta love these vacation loops."
"Don't you just use these as a way to test possible successors," inquires Ichigo. "And why do you always bring Sasakibe along as your butler?"
"First off, you have to enjoy the simple things in life, Grandson. And second I think that Ururu is doing a wonderful job as Captain-Commander."
"Nothing compared to Yachiru," Ichigo reminisces. "I mean dragging Urahara back to lead the new candy making division, just because he was running a candy shop."
"That was priceless wasn't it?"
"Yep, but I still like the time when you decided to go the Blofeld route. I mean having Halibel in a tank shooting ceros at people who opposed you."
"Well it was easier to find her than actual sharks with lasers on their heads."
"Too true. But how did you convince Yoruichi to be your pet cat that loop?"
"When you get to be my age you get to have good hands," Yamamoto says with a small grin. "That does bring up the thought that Aizen's real reason to attack the king, is the fact that in life he was Austin Powers and all he wants is his mojo back."




The basic thought behind this is that when Isshin left soul society, Yamamoto fakes his death, leaves a will behind declaring his successor (which varies so he can choose a good one when the loops are over), and declares himself Isshin's elderly father. Thus Yamamoto is Ichigo's rich grandfather, with his own butler (Sasakibe) and his heir, Ichigo, has his own butler in training (Hanataro), and is thus a moderating influence in Ichigo's life, leading to Masaki still being alive, and the whole story pretty much being different.
Just a whole bunch of crazy shit.

Well I managed to resurect several loops now lets try this one:

Ichigo awoke in his own bed, it was about an hour before his bedroom was scheduled for violation. He used the Anchor ping ability to check for loopers, and came up with nothing... "Well, this is going to be boring fast. How could I take a vacation this time?"

He pondered, then the idea came to him, He placed a subtle seal on his room and his sister's rooms, something he had learned countless loops ago, so that a Soul Reaper wouldn't be able to come in through the walls. Then he placed a signal amping signal on his sleeping father's room.

An hour later he heard a crash followed by yelling, including the word 'Captain' followed by more crashes. Yes he thought this would be an interesting loop.

'Got that right King!'
