Another twist seriously wtf and why does no one die I'm not saying I want anyone to die but seriously they all get almost killed after every fight but no one ever dies and its starting to annoy me. The scene with Rukia and her brother was sweet and it explained alot.

True, but you have to come to expect that from anime like this one. No one ever dies. And if they do, they usually come back to life. It is annoying I know, because it just ruins the effect. If a character dies, they should stay dead.

Eh, not every shounen battle series avoids death. Naruto has had quite a few, though admittedly they are almost always villains. And, a certain death in One Piece had a huge impact on that series.

I will say that, if Hinamori would have died it would have definitely had a much larger impact.

A lot happened this episode but the highlight for me was when Byakuya came and saved Rukia.

I'm glad we finally learned the truth about Byakuya, it seems he wasn't a bad guy at all. The scene with him and Rukia was really nice.

Damn what great development and once more a tragic backstory! Really this anime sure is good with making good backstories/flashbacks. But wow Aizen actually turning to the hollow's... I'm sure we'll see him again later on the story. But well now that everything is over I do hope Kuchiki doesn't die...

Either way very awesome development, action and a tragic but great backstory! Lets see what's next.

"They're both captains... Yet such difference in strength" damn, Ichigo just took the words out of my mouth. I've been wondering that ever since.

Byakuya's not so bad afterall I hope he lives.

Nice Byakuya and Rukia back story but srsly how old is he then?! D:

Then they disappeared though, hmmm.

Yeah, you'd think someone would have actually died by now.

Good episode. The attack Aizen used Hadō 90 is pretty cool, also I can't believe Byakuya of all people saved Rukia lol.

Loved gin's comment about enjoying being kidnapped by rangiku.
And we got some ominous foreshadowing with that massive eye behind the menos.

Surely Aizen has fallen to the depth of darkness, thanks to Urahara san's invention Rukia didn't die and thanks to Byakuya that he protected her I hope that to be alright

so much rushing through. and the one thing surprising about this thread is the fact no one noting the fact aizen moved his hair slightly to look like the villain now, pure trolling.

and hinamaru could stay dead, it really wouldn't hurt anyone.

Another Plot Twist...

Aizen goes full Villain Mode. He looks so badass without the Glasses and that Hair lol

Byakuya and Rukia heartwarming scene though...

Marvellous. Magnificent. I daresay it doesn't get any better than this, not this type of show.

I am honestly surprised I've had so much fun with this anime at the age of 21.

Yeah, same. I'd assume that it's because they're soul reapers and not human lmfao! With so much blood loss, it's nothing to them.

Byakuya finally told his side of the story. I'm still not excusing him for trying to kill Rukia in the end though lol but that's just me.

Aizen badass exposé! possibly the most fantastic and classic twist every action anime needs for its essence. In the latter case, I 100% agree with this twist. Aizen is very much befitting for the sinister plans to be in the future.

Rukia and Byakuya's scene was heart-melting.
