I don't think that's the problem. I think Yamamoto's suicide without even using his bankai was the problem. But then again, Aizen DID heal instantly, so that's also a problem, I guess.

Not bad.

I want to know how Aizen knows so much about the Hougyoku. I mean, I am sure Urahara took some extensive notes, but damn. Also, if Urahara could create something so powerful, why didn't he make another one for the battle with Aizen, and put a safety in to destroy it afterwards? Wait, this is Aizen I am talking about, he knows everything about everything. I am sorry for that moment of stupidity.

Well that was crap.
I'm really getting close to giving up on Bleach. It's gotten to the point where even IF Aizen goes down. It's still going to some how suck in the end.

So big shocker everything was planned to make Ichigo stronger. Didn't we know that like months ago. Enough hints were dropped.
Also, we got to see why Aizen is even more of a godmoddy bastard than usual and why Gin isn't bothering to do anything. |

From the looks of it, this is very possible. Some massive ass-pulling needs to be done but that's just normal for Bleach.

So we are clear

yea its not a huge suprise for us, but I'm sure alot of passive readers, as in people that dont spend hours on forums discussing it, didn't know. Yea it was hinted on alot, and it should have been. Thats what makes it good writing as opposed to some hack job. That story and plot lines are planned and not something he tosses out just for the sake of moving the plot.
There is most certainly one other thing about Aizen. He's good at manipulation and psychological warfare, planning and strategy, but those have its limits. He isn't good at thinking on his feet. Going with the assumption people will play things out like he planned. Sure he has fall back plans but he isn't very good at handling sudden changes. Compared to, lets say Urahara who goes from zero to complete understanding of your power in a few seconds, Aizen is downright slow.

I wish the translation had said "Exactly as planned." :/

Reading through this chapter. I'm curious as to what going to happen next. Ichigo now seems to really be apart of his grand plan. I'm curious as to what that role may be.

HOW could he have planned the start of the series? Huh?
Fishbone D was a weakling. A chump. A regular hollow operating on hunger. A random mook whose defeat doesn't even earn Rukia a single yen's worth of credit at Urahara Shoten. He was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a hollow that would have challenged Rukia under normal circumstances. Even with Ichigo's heavy spiritual pressure clouding her instincts, it was a momentary lapse in concentration, a screwup caused by Rukia's reaction to Ichigo's attempted heroic sacrifice, that lead to her getting injured and them having to try giving Ichigo soul reaper powers. It's very likely that Rukia would've just split him apart if Karin hadn't mumbled in her sleep and inspired Ichigo to do something stupid. Now, could you please tell me how Aizen could have planned that? |
