Have you read Bleach before? There is a certain protocol you have to follow. You never start out full strength and you always have a hidden technique.

Ichigo always fight with 100% from the start. Just now he is giving somewhat plausible excuses for that. Everyone else says they have a reason, some hate their higher powers, some don't think the enemy is worthy, some think that if they show their main trick, the enemy can rebound easily, some say they don't want to be dependent of higher power...

It's all cliché excuses, but it's at least effort to give one that has some sense.

Everyone V.S Aizen huh. Nice, next chapter is looking good.

[Sithdarth]

This is a bit of a pickle actually. Chapter 385, pages 6 then 7 Shinji says "Fall Sakanade" which as we all know is him activating his Shikai. But then in Chapter 387, page 4, the narrative text says "What is Hirako's Bankai?" even though it never shows him activating his Bankai. So I think the latter is just a translation error and that Bells was right in that Shinji has only used his Shikai.

Oh and I'm too lazy to get pictures so you can all just use your non-copyright-infringing manga viewing methods of your choice to verify this.

1) I'm pretty sure some of the higher level captains have hopped right to Bankai before so its nothing new. I think Ichigo even managed it without screaming Bankai once.

2) I've seen it translated the exact same way from two completely independent sources. I totally thought it was a translation error two but the two different places I get my manga fix from usually have very different takes on translation and still came up basically identical on that phrase. If it's an error then it's an error in the original.

I do like how people are self aware enough to both, use the attacking blind spot tactic, and be aware that there are those that do it. I was worried Aizen was gonna pull off some godmode "I saw it coming" thing, but instead it was something he prepared earlier since its a clear weakpoint. Someone did this to Byakuya, Renji I think, knowing his love of flashstepping behind people the instant he saw him move he blocked his back

[Kyanbu The Legend]

You know a thought occurred to me. A major flaw in the captains plan to cover Ichigo while he attacks Aizen. Since most of the Captains have seen Aizen's Shikai and are venerable to his illusions. Whats to stop them from thinking Ichigo is Aizen and attacking him? Sure he's fast but so is everyone else.

[synkr0nized]

He just needs to talk enough trash to prove he is the best. But really what we're all waiting for is Gin defeating everyone.

[CABAL49]

I am calling Gin kills Aizen. Gin is actually the big boss of Shinigami.

[Wigmund]

No, it's really Lt. Pink Hair. She's the cunning mastermind behind everything in Bleach.


Actually, I've got to ask this - what is Aizen's real plan? I've heard it's for him to become the most powerful being in existence, but what will he do with all that power? Kill everyone? Become a tyrant astride the worlds? Reform the Soul Society so it's no longer a shitty medieval Japanese slum in which the poor souls suffer and die again because their protectors are a bunch of dicks who spend all their time running around stabbing each other in the back?

[Bard The 5th LW]

Calling it now: Aizen is a well intentioned extremist that is trying to take over the kings realm to make the Soul Society and any other powerful beings up there fight against monsters from those gates to hell we saw like 400 chapters ago because they are trying to end the world for some reason.

it will ned up to be something like that, in any case. I mostly want to see the hell gates show up again.
