[WolvenLordSoulReaper]

My sister and I have pondered this question for a while, but it seems that the timing of Isshin's arrival to earth, then the loss of his powers when he decided to be with Musaki, too closely relates to (speculatively) Urahara's dismissal from Soul Society. Could Isshin have been temporarily sent to earth to police Kiske?

i think that isshin leaving soul society may have to deal with Urahara Kisuke leaving as well. But i feel that he got tired with soul society because he couldn't deal with it anymore and that was the main reason why he left. Maybe he came to the real world and fell in love with Musaki and he couldn't be a Shinigami anymore because of her. For me at least...i think Isshin must have been the previous Kenpachi and that he faked his own death to be with Musaki...i think i may be wrong but we don't know who the previous captain is. But Isshin could also be the previous 10th division captain...i have a feeling that in reality he is the 10th division captain. i suppose we will find out in the later chapters

if i remember it correctly Kisuke and Yoruichi left Soul Society together 100 years before Ichigo started slaying Hollows. When she and Byakuya met again he said: "Yoruichi Shihoin.. It's been a long time. Over a century, I believe...".
Isshin came to earth and lost his powers only 20 years before the whole mess started, so in my opinion there must be some other reasons for his decision of leaving SS, probably like wolven and kcal both mentioned - his love for Masaki...
like kcal i hope next chapters will answer some of our neverending questions...
