lol Ichigo is gonna turn out to be the key or Aizen is just gonna use the strength that Ichigo has had up till now to make the key. Either way would be interesting. And btw I predict Isshin Kurosaki will make an appearance soon

I don't even... What? I've been a fan of this manga for a long time and maybe too ignorant to see how stale it was getting, but seriously? Aizen planned everything? It's like Kubo just took the plot from Turn Back the Pendulum and used Aizen's skills from then to explain away everything in one sentence.

There really is no story left, Yamamoto is dead (shitty) and the 2¢ explanations for it all will add up to zilch. Lots of missed opportunities here for a lot of secondary characters. Isshin, Urahara, etc. As for Yammy and HM, there's no reason to care about that battle. The Vaizards were wasted too. He made Aizen too clever, when he should've made him more like Urahara. At least Urahara doesn't act so damn cocky and say that he knows every damn thing and all the reasons.

Ichigo just needs to kill Aizen himself and fade to credits. The end. Don't crap all over the rest of the characters and the story by trying to explain every last detail. That's what ruins good storytelling. But I guess it's pretty much too late for that now anyway.

Ahh, Tite Kubo. Invalidating 395 chapters of Ichigo's growth by making it part of Aizen's plan within one chapter. Yep, this is Bleach alright. God damn it.

I can't believe there's people that didn't see Aizen's reveal coming from a mile away.
Alright, time to take a wild guess on where this is going. Aizen's planning to lose and become another stepping stone for Ichigo, who will finally be ready to defeat the spirit king for whatever purpose. Gin's role is to turn Aizen into the spirit key before he dies.
Also, the entire plot is now a huge training arc. Nice move, Kubo.

Kewl, Aizen has a perfect defense with the Hougyoku and he has to explain in details how it work to Ichigo when he can use the surprise effect against him.
Ichigo is just sitting there and calmly talking with Aizen when he knows that he has a time limit with his mask and when he can use this moment to make a surprise attack. Especially since the old captain attack can be used once, which means that he'll probably never have this kind of opportunity again. And the "it's not over yet" is one or two seconds lost.
Bleach is as coherent as ever, this is why I love it.

The guy invented the whole theory. Even the release of Death Note was a plan of Aizen to introduce us to his theory.

WTF....just...wtf, dude. Aizen beasted everyone close to death, made Ichigos entire life seem as conceived from the get go, and throgh all of that...where the fuck is Gin, Yoruichi, hat'n'clogs, Isshin, Uryu's dad whose name I can't bloody remember--hell, I'd settle for that healing captain to try a surprise attack and say, "Didnt see this coming, did ya bitch?!"

Because honestly, I wouldn't have. And would have enjoyed it. Something no one saw coming and seemed believable. Awesome. 4/5 for reminding how much I loved the Ichigo Vs Zaraki fight.

I wonder if Aizen being born was planned by himself lol anyway finally this arc is going to finish but i think if Aizen die they should finish this manga or it will become the next naruto after orochimaru died and the manga stopped making sense.Not that i want Bleach to end is just what will Kubo do once Aizen is dead? Making new stronger enemies appear out of nowhere ? Even though its typical of shounen fighting manga like in dragonball where saiyens was supposed to be the strongest race in the galaxy but they was always new enemies appear out of nowhere which was much stronger then them or in naruto where Orochimaru was supposed to be the strongest ninja and all of a sudden new ennemies much stronger appear oh well i guess we just need to wait and see how it go.

I liked how Aizen was using the Hougyoku for his benefit in the fight, but dam that last page just felt like such an unnecessary plot twist.

And in terms of Gin, was he even fighting anyone or is he just M.I.A. ?
If not I hope hes destroying the barrier so they can just blow up the town already and transition into the next arc involving the King's Key or whatever the hell they were trying to do in the first place.

(GETSUGA TENSHÔ)^∞

I wanna stick that attack up his sorry ass. When a door needs to be opened : getsuga tenshô. When in need of killing a foe (lol, as if that idiot would ever kill someone even when this someone REALLY tries to gut him) : getsuga tenshô. When nothing works : getsuga tenshô. And if that didn't work either, put on the mask and... yep, you guessed it! GETSUGA TENSHÔ MOTHERFUCKER!

The fact Ichigo uses his bankai so much we forget about him being in bankai mode pisses me off as well. Now, it's just a tuxedo with a rapier that blurts out black laser beams. His mask is the real bankai. Until the next power up, that is.

Also, I still had some hope left for Kubo. Then he came with the "just as planned" moment. No. Just no.

Same here, what about his Bankai? Am I this clueless about whats going on and missed everything, or what?:P

It's implied that Ichigo's strength is based off of his opponents reiatsu. Like for example, how he was able to master his hollow form against Grimmjaw, going from 13 seconds to seemingly infinity in mask time. It's all there is Aizen's (Kubo's) wordplay, particularly in the last few panels.


Lol I knew I wasn't crazy when I thought this


They never said it was like that. I actually still wonder WHY he did have such a growth of power that fast! Your explenation could be right, but not proven to be right

He beat Renji's skill with power, Zaraki's huge power with an equally huge power, Byakuya's range and skill with speed, Grimmjow's power and speed with hollow powers and Ulquiorra's power and regeneration with more power and regeneration.
His powers always match the enemy's in some way, but they're not always the exact same thing. Copying their power seems unlikely to me. Maybe Kubo will just make "whatever power he needs to win" his official ability. Or maybe Zangetsu's special ability is just growth.

Good stuff. I love it when Aizen is even MORE overpowered than before. Because he's not overpowered enough already, y'know. At this point, from a reasonable standpoint, Kubo is just making Aizen seem invincible before introducing a ridiculous new powerup of some sort. Either that, or some invention by Urahara.
