this isn't really an Aizen thing, its a shonen character thing. Its exposition for the readers sake. But your point about him not just mind raping him into his best friend there is no excuse because we have seen him do it before. its not only something he can do, its his usual tactic.

I think Senkei was his sword dimension thing, Goukei was his pink butterfly attack and we haven't seen Hakuteiken.

[Locke cole]

Senkei is the arena of swords, which allows him to grab one and use it to kill the enemy with his own hands.

Goukei is the gigantic sphere of blade-petals that surrounds the enemy and collapses inward (By the way, that's bullshit. How could he avoid that?)

Hakuteiken is when he condenses all the bankai petals into one enormous sword of extreme power, and a giant pair of wings which he uses for flight.

Ok, let's say you have a post office box that you have to check every day, and it's far enough away that you have to drive there. Everyday, you hop in your car, drive to the post office, then go straight back home.

But, one day, the mayor hits your name on his dartboard and declares it "No traffic laws, but only Aerozord gets to drive" day. You gotta go get the mail on "NtlboAgtd" Day, just like every day. But, are you gonna drive out there, get the mail, then drive straight back, as is your usual tactic? Hell no, you're gonna haul ass around town for no good reason and do donuts and stuff because you're never gonna get to do this again.

Today is Swordfight Day for Tsukishima.

Rukia is the only one who remembers what this story is about.

Also the very valid point was raised that Byakuya could give two shits about killing a friend that broke pretty much any law for which the punishment is death. I mean he was going to kill his little sister who he adopted because she looks like the love of his life. There is absolutely no way you can get a closer relationship than that. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't stop him and that Tsukishima realized that the instant he cut him. Although he might have picked that much up from cutting Chad and Orihime.

The problem with this is that it requires you to believe that Tite Kubo deliberately had a character 1. do something intelligent, and 2. not spell it out in excruciating detail and then congratulate himself on his cleverness.

I understand this reason, and its possible, but it would still be stupid. How often do bad guys lose for this reason. A bookworm like him should know better.

why not do both, the reason he sparred so much was he was his best friend. I mean worst case is they still fight but it couldn't hurt. Though, possible he did do that.

What I dont get is why Byakuya doesn't know this. He inserted himself into his past so shouldn't Byakuya have memories of hanging out with him? Why the explanation?

So Tsukishima makes it so that he didn't break a law.

The point is that no matter what the fight between the two people who look the exact same during all the close up head shots is going to end in a disappointing way.

[Ecks]

....and both Kuchikis are getting their asses handed to them.

What the actual fuck, guys? Tsukishima should've fallen to Senbonzakura Kageyoshi. Why the hell did he not go all out right from the get- oh wait, I'm reading shounen.
