The Academy has been around for 2,000 years but the 13 squads have only been around for about 200 years...so, they're relatively young considering the CC has been alive for thousands of years.

But I don't think Yama was the first Captain Commander. It was said that the location of the King's Key has been passed down verbally from generation to generation of CC, so I'm curious about the organization of Soul Society prior to Yama being around. They made it sound like he created the Gotei 13, as the "original guard" was 200 years ago, but at the same time, he doesn't appear to be the first Captain Commander. So what was around before him?
Also, I wouldn't mind learning a bit more about the original guard. Who they were, what happened to them, etc.
