with rukia being nowhere near captain-level strength, it should have been extremely odd to SS that ichigo fought on par with zaraki and byakuya. but like others have said, his rukia powers were gone anyway and SS knew it, therefore it should have been even more perplexing. certainly worth looking into if SS had a collective IQ above 100

you are forgetting that VCs and Captains report what they have done and seen to SS. we've seen the Captains meet quite frequently. if they didn't share information with the CC, then they are all as dumb as i think they are. ...so actually it is possible i guess

Concerning recent events, we should assume until shown otherwise that no one other than Kenpachi, Shunsui, Yachiru, or Isane know that Unohana is now dead, much less how she got that way.

what is the point of saying this? the loss of a captain will become widespread knowledge in no time.

One thing to Kubo's credit is that he doesn't subscribe to the theory that everyone that is more "in the know" than our protagonist is therefore omniscient or ludicrously intuitive

it doesnt take a prophet to question where ichigo got his superpowers and so quickly at that
ichigo beat their kenpachi and byakuya and he was a 'mere ryoka'. afterwards, SS must have said: "eh, he probably got those powers in a crackerjack box. no need to question whether he's a descendant of one of our many missing captains. especially since he looks just like a couple people we used to know very well. time to concentrate on sitting in chairs and staring at grass"
