Well, I, personally, thought Shinji's ability was pretty cool. The part with Tousen was blah and Ichigo coming was even more blah.

I am pretty sure it's not Bankai, it's just Shikai.

Overall nice chapter. Although I do hate Tousen, I felt sorry for him in this chapter.

Well, I'm damn glad Shinji at least landed a hit on Aizen. I can't believe he blew up Tousen - I mean, that is what happened, right, Tousen basically freakin exploded. Such a heartless bastard!!! I'm glad Ichigo is finally back, next week should be interesting.

I expected the fight with Tousen to last a little longer than that. The Shinji-Aizen showdown was quite interesting..and of course, Ichigo has to show up..

If I was tite kubo this is what I might do.



So what does everyone think of my brilliant new story line for bleach, its not too predictable I hope ^_^

Not bad, the theory about Hikifune especially makes sense. Honestly, though, the 1st squad captain is a boring character and his plot significance should just be reduced to zero (plus given his power he's kind of a predictable candidate for final villain, but I'll admit it'd be hard to find a surprising one at this point). I'd prefer having him suddenly killed by Aizen/Ichimaru/other main villain for a total OHSHIT moment. Killing off some of the good guys is definitely a good idea, but killing so many is kinda excessive. Besides, Bleach's popularity would drop and Kubo can't have that. And finally, I very much approve of your idea to write Orihime out of the story. For an extra shock, Kubo can rely heavily on her healing powers for a while, then kill her just when they're seriously needed.

Aizen: Thank you everyone. The key has been made from those who died in this battle. This was my plan all aloong. Ho ho ho~


Yeah, I won't be surprised if that actually happened.

After much soul searching, I've come to the conclusion that of the sudden, painfully awkward, last-panel cameo appearances found in this chapter and the most recent chapter of another Weekly Shounen Jump manga that shall remain unnamed, things would have been at least 500x more interesting if they had gotten their deus ex machina wormhole wires crossed and came out in the other manga.

I've also come to the conclusion that Shinji's ability would finally allow me to drive competently in the UK and Ireland, although I'd probably have to keep it in reverse.

So epic chapter. I loved it. One of the best Bleach chapters ^^
Shinji's bankai is so suitable for him. :D And i love his badass side ^^
The war between Aizen and Shinji was so interesting and exciting untill Ichigo comes.
Why is he has to come anyway? Just get out and let them fight. I want them to fight. Not you , Ichigo :D
For me only one person can inturruption this battle. And that person is Kisuke of course !

And Tosen is dead, huh? So quick isn't it?

Or when he introduced himself in the class by writing his name backwards.

or when he was on the cover of chapter 1...

Go random appearance Ichigo. :P

Hmm, Aizen can bleed real blood? That's actually kind of shocking. I wonder if it's red or black, like his heart. And of course he's not the least bit fazed by the inverted world. Well, maybe for two seconds, but he got used to it way too quickly.


People, Aizen didn't get use to Shinjis sword. It's impossible to get used to every direction being changed in such a short time. What he did was simply reverse the effect with his own sword and make himself see things right.
If his sword wasn't like that he would have had more trouble.

As about why Shinji explained everything to Aizen like an idiot. Well that's a simple shounen rule. You must always explain your cool tactics. This rule probably exist so we can get an explanation of what the hell is going on.


Next chapter Ichigo tries to hit Aizen and Aizen turns with his sword to protect himself. At that moment Ichigo realizes that he saw his sword and starts going "Oh! shit!!!!" i wasn't suppose to see it.
Seriously though i bet Gin is gonna move on Ichigo.

If anyone wonders what Captain Commander is doing, according to my sources his an old man so he has to go to the toilet very often.

Shinji's illusion was pretty cool, even if Aizen got out of it.
And why did I feel like Ichigo's coming was quite random, or even (dare I say it) too soon?

I'd seriously lol if Ichigo gets caught into the inverted world due to his random and sudden appearance. He'd make a speech and all like they always do and charge at Aizen, but then he'd realize he's going backwards.

what do we know about Gin?

* he's face is that of a fox, smart and cunning.

* Rukia comments on how she felt like snakes were wrapping around her neck whenever Gin spoke.

*Gin saved Rangiku Matsumoto from starvation when they were children, and the two have been good friends since then. Rangiku is the only person Gin seems to truly care about, although he seems to "disappear" often, as Rangiku puts it. He also never tells her where he's going.

*Gin was considered a child prodigy since he graduated from the academy within a YEAR and was assigned to a seated position in the 5th Division.

*Gin killed the 3rd seat of the division with ease, which aroused Aizen's interest in him.
I've thought for some time now that Gin is the "Incarnation of the Heavenly Guardian" that is prophesied and NOT Hitsugaya.

Yeah, this chapter said bankai. But I went back to when Shinji released it and he calls "Fall, Sakanade", so I'm assuming it's shikai.

I thought Shinji's illusion fit him nicely since well he appeared upside down and wrote his name backwards to bad Aizen's sword kinda owned his. I wasn't really surprised when Aizen killed Tousen it seems to kill off anyone and everyone who become useless to him. Ichigo coming back was completely random IMO, I'm also wondering how in the world he's not going to see Aizen's sword when hes holding it in his hand....

Right. Besides, the name's too simple, releasing bankai without showing shikai first would be silly and it's just not strong enough for a bankai. There's bound to be some omnidirectional attacks and other abilities out there that could counter it easily. Even if there isn't, his old vice-captain's shikai is still much stronger than this. No way is that bankai.

Watch at 2:20. According to many this is the reason Hitsugaya is so strong at such age. Kyouraku also said that his unique and will surpass any other captain when his older.

There is going to be another major twist to this as this would appear to be the final battle and somehow it feels like it isn't.

Yeah, I think Kubo said in an interview he intends to do another short arc (training, probably) and then another longer one. But Aizen doesn't seem quite as incredible now that he's been cut, so it's possible that he's gonna go down.

Yeah, I'm sure he's making fun of Toushiro, but the way he says it implies other people claim that's what he is. But it's not necessarily real and Gin definitely doesn't sound convinced. Not to mention there's a good chance Kubo forgot all about it.

So Tousen's finished. The fight was alright, but pretty lackluster. On a different note, I like Shinji's shikai. I didn't like however how he had to explain it to Aizen.

Ichigo appearing was expected... And as expected, we'll probably have one or two slow chapters with him talking, lol.


Yeah, i think explaining his shikai was stupid, kind of defeats the purpose of such an unusual sword...but i guess everyone has to do it so that the reader understands? This chapter was okay, Tousen didn't seem as powerful as he thought he was...he went down pretty easily. Seeing ichigo at the end was surprising, you would think he would power up to strike aizen or wear his mask at least...maybe he can't Wonder what shinji's reaction will be to Ichigo arriving with Unohana and not orihime.
