That, or he's still getting impaled by his clothes.

Man, it'd be great to see him a bit out of frame the whole time, dying painfully.

"Appended to its own quotation is false" appended to its own quotation is false.
Pretty sure he was referring to the hot springs Squad Zero member, as he was the only one of them not in this chapter.

As for what he's doing? Standing somewhere being unimportant, no doubt (or secretly doing something important).

In Bleach, there is only Ichigo and various Aizens. Everyone else had might as well be blobs that make noise (besides, of course, Kenpachi and Mayuri).

That lost time thing? That was just how YHWACH perceived Aizen switching places with him and then hypnotizing both of them into thinking they were the other person. He is Aizen but doesn't even know it. Or maybe he really is a totally boring muttonchop man who never does anything and will be defeated via Ichigo awakening to a whole new level of sword-pressing for no raisin.

I really don't want to give that big of a poo poo about a lovely rewrite of Yu Yu Hakusho, but if you've fooled yourself into thinking a thousand year old archer is the big bad I don't know what to say.


You did notice that Aizen wasn't given a death sentence, right? The guy is like Morgoth at this point, and it has been established that an arrogant mortal hosed with him. Morgoth is loose. Now it is just a matter of when he makes a play.

Also Kubo said in an interview that Aizen not being dead was important to the plot going forward.

Well, he has yet to show his checkov's gun of a bankai. That's why I feel he's still in it.

I've got a feeling that Aizen will be important again, because him regaining any sort of relevance would be completely awful. And Bleach doesn't have the best track record of being better than completely awful for extended periods of time.

Aizen was using his bankai the whole time. That's why it's complete hypnosis.

Aizen actually came out on top at the end of the Deicide arc, and the rest of the manga since has just been the illusion he showed Ichigo to distract him so he could kill him.

What happened to Momo was just a foreshadowing of what Aizen did to the Soul King.

The Aizen from Deicide who is now locked underground was the Soul King. The real Aizen accomplished his goal a long time ago.

The only way this manga could redeem its self id if we get Aizen back, in the smuggest manner/rear end pull possible. It would be glorious.

When Bach went to visit Aizen, Aizen actually brainwashed and switched places with him. At the most dramatic moment Bach is going to take off his mask and we'll cut away to Bach locked up in Aien's cell.

Turns out Aizen's Bankai is the ability to create simulated universes, and all of Bleach is a figment of his imagination.

Or it allows him to break the fourth wall and gain awareness. He's been trying to escape the restraints of fiction this whole time! Ahh!

Really though I hope any further bankais we see are actually climatic and effective instead of a chapter end->2 page spread-> job out combo. I would rather just not see them than that.

Rukia and Renji both had decent reveals. Probably, because they're actually somewhat prominent supporting cast members and Kubo actually cared about it.

Rukia and Renji won with their new bankais because they didn't explain out loud what they do.
