No it's a "tradition" (IE a law) for every squad. The 11th just makes the most use of it.

There's a difference between moving up in the ranks and getting the job you want. While Ichigo does have absurd growth potential, as far as I can tell, beating people up to get a spot is something that really only applies to the Captain position. As good as Ichigo is, I don't think even with Shikai that he's going to seriously contest any of the captains out of the gate. Thus the question becomes who would want Ichigo most if he showed that ability? I don't think Ukitake is in the list of people who would hire Ichigo on the strength of his shikai alone. Dude's been around a while.
In turn this means that Ichigo doesn't automatically get an assignment to the human world. Would you really assign the Shikai wielder to the human world alone just because of his power? Probably not if he's shown in the past that he doesn't really follow guidelines if they're inconvenient.
Chapter 146 pg 1.
Although again that's only for captains and has a 200 division member witness requirement.

Hrm.
I wonder how things will change.
Canon's second Shikai is two Zankpatou to signify his Quincy and Shinigami/Hollow powers.
He now no longer has Quincy powers.
Which also makes Ichigo much less tanky

Yeah, we're probably stuck with the bog standard butcher-knife shikai we've got.

Things Takako definitively knows:
1. Gin made a comment about Ichigo looking a bit like a Shiba
2. Pretty well right after she gave Ichigo a Who's Who of Soul Society he came asking for help getting info on the Shiba clan.
Think a few people missed this line, it is expected for you to be in the academy and people will notice if you go AWOL
There were never any details on the whole Shiba noble clan thing in Canon, so it's interesting to see what you've done here.
I will note, going by Byakuya's behaviour despite the Shibas not technically being a noble clan anymore, he still had a lot of respect for them. I'd attribute that to Old Money sticking together personally.
If you see someone do this?
You do not mess with that person.
I wouldn't worry that much about it. People don't go running around showing Shikai or Bankai off as a matter of course. (There are tons of times in the series people haven't every seen each others release) That and the family line thing is likely to be a little known fact, what with how infrequently it happens, and only someone who has seen Isshin's shikai would be able to make the connection, which is an even smaller pool of people. (She said direct descent only, so it won't be similar to Kaien's zanpaktou, so no worries there)
SNRK
Well, they don't have zanpaktou, so that makes sense, since neither of them are shinigami. I imagine, even with the allowances Noble clans get that Soul Society does its best to make sure that no Asauchi end up outside the academy.
I'm...not sure the timeline works on that one?
Fuck knows, canon never made it clear.
If it was long enough ago for that to work you'd think Rukia would be over her PTSD a bit better, but otoh it's not like Soul Society has any freaking therapists.
Reads the opposite to me. Weekend spent trying without success, Ichigo getting stubborn whilst Kukaku tries to tell him to get some freaking rest and come back another time.

a/w, choosing this for multiple reasons
- Long term interaction with Kukaku and the Shiba Clan
- Takako getting to laugh at him getting the shit kicked out of him
- The exams aren't until the end of the year. There's no practical difference for us between getting Shikai in two weeks or in two months. Most shinigami never achieve shikai, just having it before you're even placed in a squad is ridiculous.

It's many pages too late but I just found this quest a couple days ago and I just now thought of it.
I guess we could say that Ichigo dying turned everyone's plans into a clustertruck.

Then Ichigo acts like his canon self, says he can do this, he has to do this, wows Kukaku with his determination, and then knuckles down to get his training done.
Be real, we all know that's how he works.
Don't half ass it, train until he achieves Shikai.
