If Squad 0 weren’t so arrogant and self righteous, they could have trained and made most of the Gotei members way stronger.
I know they won’t just allow any Shinigami to train up in the Royal Palace, but considering how much stronger Renji, Rukia and Byakuya had gotten, they should have allowed more Shinigami to train there.
If they had trained the Gotei beforehand, they could have repelled the Sternritters in the first invasion, with fewer casualties.
If they had trained the Vizard, Rose and Kensei probably wouldn’t have been beaten by Mask. Shinji would not have been easily defeated by Bambietta.
Komamura could have gotten stronger without using the Jinka Technique. Soi Fon could have had an easier time defeating, and even killing, Bg9.
Rangiku, Momo, Hisagi, Kira, Isane, Iba could have gotten stronger, while Ikkaku could get an improved and more powerful Bankai like Renji.
Hell, maybe with the combined effort of Ichibei, Tenjiro and Hikifune, they could have cured Ukitake’s illness and remove Mimihagi from his body, using the right hand as a proper ally against the Quincy with a real plan.
They say that protecting the Soul Society is the Gotei’s responsibility, but both of them have a duty of protecting the 3 realms as a whole, so they should have lend a hand.
But no. Because of them, most seated officers got killed, Yamamoto died, Sasikibe died, and Unohana had to sacrifice herself in order to make Kenpachi stronger. They could have done that themselves, and Unohana could have had a more active role in the war.
