So what's Ichigos zanpaktou if not the fastest? I thought the entire point of his bankai was to sacrifice power for speed...

Ichigo's bankai was for him to improve his own speed. Gin's is to increase the speed of his own sword.

"This is really going to drag on."
Gin totally called it on this arc... Didn't Rangiku have a 1ft hole in her stomach...? I hope this doesn't mean we won't be seeing Aizen's bankai.

so not the longest zanpaktou, but the fastest; now aizen is undergoing some type of transformation- things are getting really interesting now
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Maybe this will be more exciting if I read Bleach in bulk. But then I'm not complaining, any chapter with a Gin panel is just dandy in my book. Not really sure about his bankai though but whatevs.

Does this mean Isshinigami would've beaten Aizen if not for the hougyoku/deus ex machina?

I don't know how you can say this is the best chapter in a long time, like 5 pages was wasted panels. This fight is so dam boring and, its only going to get more boring, blah blah blah my sword is the fastest and the longest. Way to make Gin look really really lame.

Nice to see Ichigo being a smart cookie :) And quite sad to see Matsumoto as well :'(

Not sure what Aizen's babbling on about now. Is he being controlled by the Hyougyoku now or something, because that's what it kinda sounded like to me... I'd hoped to actually see more of Isshin whipping Aizen's ass rather that just cutting to the end of their fight.

Still, Gin's bankai = win.

AIZENS BULSHIT TALK, now that Motherfucker's soul can understand the will of the Hougyoku, tis mother fucker about to evolve it fucking seems

6 pages in and NOTHING new happened other then Rangiku laying there which could have easily been put on 1 panel.

The rest of the pages where Kubo showing he fails at drawing swordfights. I'm sure this will look really neat in the anime. But in the manga... It just doesn't work.

Finally we have the last 2 pages that can really be considered interesting.

.... Kinda at a loss of words here.

The fight is getting more interesting, and looking forward to each of the battles. Seems like Ichigo found out what Ichimaru`s bankai can somewhat do, now knowing that he has the most fastest zanpakutou, I`m curious as to how their battle will be like.
Not only that, but also at the end with Aizin and Isshin. . . Now Aizen is going go through a transformation and become "even more" powerful? . . . how will they deal with that . . . .? . . . On a side note, didn`t know that Isshin that defeat Aizen so easily that way . . if it wasn`t for the hogyouko, then that means Isshin can beat Aizen?

Well...that was okay. But I think Gin got it right about his and Ichigos fight "this is really going to drag on". Yes. Yes it is.

wtf's going on with Aizen though....some sort of transformation? he said his "shinigami self" specifically, so is he going to get a hollow mask or something....I don't know.

I think Yamamoto had more to do with Aizen reaching his limit than Isshin did. I could be wrong.

I actually like Gin's bankai. Though I initially thought it would be more like Goku's power pole and just get longer and wider.

so thats the true power of Gin's bankai its ability to expand and contract at very high speed maybe even faster than light because Ichigo cannot see it even though his looking at it all the time as he stated

thats one heck of a bankai indeed now im satisfied and my expectation about Gin as being one of the badass villain in Bleach is met "thumbs up" to the manga author

ye i thought aizen is unbeatable but he still have to transform into a hollow like figure and im wondering they did mention that all shinigami excluding ichigo has been possess by the illusions of aizen's shikai so that means even ichigo's father should have been affected by the illusions of aizen but at the moment that doesnt look like it

So Gin's sword is pretty much a laser cannon since it fires so fast. I bet the key to defeating him will be striking him during the brief moment it contracts (which is HELLA fast!).

And Isshin is just soooo beast, that he can beat Aizen's "shinigami form" without releasing his zanpakuto's shikai.

And going by DBZ logic, since Aizen is going to power up, that means Isshin will power up or go shikai/bankai soon.

Ah speed... so glad it just doesn't grow or I'd be a little sad in one of my favorites. Anyway go Gin! Beat him! :D!!... >.>...

Yes I know this is a false hope but meh. I can dream.

Not voting for Aizen though... I'm rather apathetic in that fight.

Good to see that Gins bankai is going to be a better than it originally seemed but i don't know it just seemed like barely anything really happened in this chapter, other than Aizen suddenly randomly evolving because Isshins beating him in a fight we don't even get to see of course =/

Well it's just my personal preference but I'll try to explain.

There's no emotion in this fight. It's just large big panels of people taking the same poses and Ichigo doing reaction faces. Especially the panels showing just a part of a sword etc. It feels wasted and Kubo could have put so much more detail into this fight.

Like I said, this is good material to work with when creating an anime fight. Page 9 was a great start, but after that Kubo went back to his usual style. I mean how many times have we seen Ichigo flying towards the reader with his sword angeled to the lower right?

Or the old, Counter a attack, losing sight of the enemy, then cutting to a reaction shot while the enemy appears from behind.

90% of Kubo's sword fights go this way, which like I said might be his style and some of you enjoy that, but I'm not one of those ^^;;

I think this chapter was just ok. Not awesome, not zzz.... either

Gin's zanpakuto is the fastest, but not longest. So there is some zanpakuto more than 13 km long out there?! That's crazy!!

ANd Gin said "This is really going to drag on" I'll have to agree with him. It does look like it'll take some time before Aizen and Gin are defeated. Not forgetting that the Yammy fight is still unresolved

I think the fight was not drawn out that clearly in some panels. So I'll be looking out for this in the anime instead

So we get a lil' Rangiku in this chapter... if I cared about her I'd say it was nice to know she was alive. Showing that Gin's zanpakuto is the fastest and not the longest is a great touch. It shows how dangerous Gin really is, it's scarier that he can cut you down at any moment, rather than from any distance. And Ichigo is still a bit of a dimwit, but he's had enough combat experience pounded into him to make him one hell of an observant warrior. Gin isn't stupid, he's one of the few opponents of Ichigo's who's known what he's in for from the beginning. Every moment of this makes me salivate over seeing it animated.

I don't have much to say about Aizen, we know he's been aiming for a perfect union of shinigami & hollow, which probably means Hougyoukou is his path to being a god... or THE god. They're all death gods afterall. It's just a matter of what he's gonna look like.
