Annnnd it's out already. Hee~

Not much happened, but it was still kinda cool. All the captains giving Ichigo advice and Ichigo decides he should trust in them. That's a pretty big step for Ichigo because he always wants to protect everyone. At least we know Hitsu will be fine because he has the power of his fans protecting him at all times. I could see Shunsui taking a hit for him tho ;_;

We already know how this battle will end Kubo already stated before this wasn't going to be the last arc. As long as Aizen shikai has already influenced their minds they will all be fighting fake imaginary copies of Aizen.

I like the fact that Ichigo is finally deciding to believe in his comrades strength. They didn't become Captains and Vice Captains by being weak, after all. He needs to realize that teamwork beats single combat any day of the week.

But where the heck did Gin go? I have a bad feeling about whatever he's planning. Plus, we have yet to see his Bankai. That could be a serious problem.

Can't help but wonder how Unohana is going to heal Hiyori. Maybe her zanpakutou can do something.

藍染を倒すべく、其々の思いを刃に乗せる志士達…!!そして日番谷は…!?
In order to defeat Aizen, each of the fighters instill their thoughts on their blades...!! As for Hitsugaya...!
空中に止まってる日番谷『…刃に乗ってるのが憎しみなら お前も隊長の器じゃない…
そう言いてえんだろう』
Hitsugaya stops in midair. "...If you're instilling hatred in your blade you're also not worthy of a captain...is that what you're saying?"
藍染無言
Aizen is silent.
日番谷『そうだ  俺はてめえを斬れさえすれば この戦いで隊長の座を失っても構わねえ』
Hitsugaya: "Fine. If I can cut you down in this fight, even if I lose my captain's seat it's alright."
無言で聞いてる享楽
Kyouraku listens in silence.
無言の藍染
Aizen doesn't speak.

日番谷『全力で叩き潰す 鏡花水月を遣う暇など与えねえ 構えろ藍染』
Hitsugaya: "I'll use all my strength to crush you. You won't have time to use your Kyoukasuigetsu. Prepare, Aizen."
無言藍染
Aizen doesn't respond.
日番谷『…構えなくても…  容赦はしねえぞ!!!!』
Hitsugaya "...Even if you don't prepare ...I won't go easy on you!!!!"
ビルの上から見てる銀
Gin watches from atop a building.
銀『…鏡花水月を… …遣う暇など与えない…?
Gin: "...Not give him time...to use Kyoukasuigetsu...?
…あかんわ   君ら完全に藍染隊長の”力”を履き違えてるわ』
...That's no good. You guys have completely mistaken Captain Aizen's strength."

bleach390 BEYOND THE DEATH UNDERSTANDING
一瞬の隙…  見逃すな…ッ!!

突っ込む日番谷『氷竜旋尾!!!』
Hitsugaya charges forward. "Hiryousenbi!!!"
交わす藍染
Aizen dodges
日番谷『氷竜旋尾 絶空!!!』
Hitsugaya: "Hiryousenbi Cutting sky!!"
かわそうと~~~
Aizen tries to dodge...
狛村『天譴』 ラブ『天狗丸』
Komamura: "Tenken!" Love: "Tengumaru!"
止める藍染
Aizen stops.
狛村『許せ 日番谷隊長!手出しするぞ!!』
Komamura: "Beg your pardon for interfering, Captain Hitsugaya !!"
日番谷『好きにしろ 元々一対一に拘るつもりはねえ』
Hitsugaya: "Do as you wish. From the start I hadn't intended it to be one on one."
藍染『…力で叩けば私を潰せると思ったか? 甘いな
Aizen: "...You thought to use your strength to crush me? You're too optimistic.
…いや恐らくは元来”力”という言葉の認識そのものが 君たちと私では異なっているのだ』
...No, perhaps there's a difference between what you and I refer to as "strength."
藍染『教えよう ”力”というのは』
Aizen: "I'll show you what "strength" is."
藍染刀を上から下に~~~
Aizen raises his sword and swings it down...
藍染『こういうものを言うのだ』
Aizen: "This is what I'm talking about."
狛村『黒縄天譴明王!!!』
Komamura "Kokojou Tenken Myoou!!!"
明王ごと斬られる狛村
Both Myoou and Komamura are cut down.
藍染すぐ狛村の横に行き、バッサリ斬る
Aizen immediately goes to Komamura's side and cuts him down resolutely.

その後ろから、ラブ、ローズ
Love and Rose come from behind.
ローズ鞭で~~ 鞭を掴む藍染
Rose uses his whip, but Aizen catches it.
銀『そうや 藍染隊長が怖いんわ 鏡花水月を遣えるからやない
Gin: "That's right. Captain Aizen is terrifying. Not because he can use Kyoukasuigetsu.
鏡花水月は恐ろしい能力やけど それ一つやったら殺されても従ん奴は山ほどおる
Kyoukasuigetsu is a frightening ability, but if that were all there are many who could kill him.
あのデタラメなエスパーダが それぞれの思惑あれど一つの集団として形を成し得たんわ
ただひとつ 強いからや』
ローズ斬られる
Rose is cut down.

銀『藍染隊長の全ての能力が他の誰とも掛け離れてるからや
Gin: "All of Captain Aizen's abilities are quite different from everyone else's."
”鏡花水月に用心する”? あかん不用心や
"Beware of his Kyoukasuigetsu? A useless precaution."

空が落ちるとか 大地が裂けるとか 君らの知恵を総動員して あらゆる不運に用心しても
藍染隊長の能力は    その用心の遥か上や』
Whether it's the sky falling, the earth splitting, if you combined all your wits to take caution of every misfortune, Captain Aizen's abilities are above all of that."

術無し!?その能力…おぞましく!!
Is there no way? That ability...is horrifying!!"
終わり。サーセイ★

390 is out.

I... have lost all interest with this chapter. Sosuke Aizen is a perfect example of a Villian Sue.

You can say that I should have known it before, but it truly seemed like all of the characters together would stand a chance.

But no. He beats everyone with one attack each, and has that same emotionless exp​ression on his face.

What really gets my goat, though, is the fact that he has no personality at all. He's not even a character, he's just... some unstoppable force.

Aizen is, without a doubt, the single most boring villian I have ever read about.

Illusion or not, that was still pretty awesome. Hitsugaya is earning some major points with me lately. He's doing cool stuff, and has dropped his annoyingly calm exterior. I think I may actually like him now. Didn't see that coming. huh.gif

Aizen is still a twice baked asshat, though. Somebody needs to jam a sock in his mouth. Shut up, already! rawr.gif

I loved this chapter. That was teamwork at it's best right there. Soi Fon drawing attention long enough for Toshiro to freeze Aizen's hand to his blade, allow Soi Fon to attempt to stab him, then having Kyoraku stab him within the shadows, and THEN have Toshiro attack Aizen with the help of Shinji's shikai!

Yeah, I didn't expect it (though knowing Aizen, it's probably just an illusion; darn absolute hypnosis ability). I'm interested in seeing where this goes from here. In all honesty though, I'm hoping that Aizen comes out unscathed. That will make him all the more intimidating when he simply brushes the MULTIPLE attacks off.

On a sidenote...I sure hope Ichigo's keeping that 'opening to attack' in mind. I mean, he's just...watching, right now, which I guess is understandable, since I don't think he's seen a battle of this scale. I mean, he's fought Grimmjow, Byakuya, Kenpachi, Nnoitra, Ulquiorra, and many others. Hell, he almost got killed by Ulquiorra.

All in all, Kubo's really got a good battle in the works here. I'm hoping to see some bankai-action soon though. It's hard to watch this while knowing they have even more power at their disposal.

Gimme a break, 'kay?

Oh my gosh, THE SPREAD.

ULQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII<4 So awesome that Ichi vs Ulqui came in second >3< All of the boys looked really good in the spread.

This chapter was amazing. Really, Aizen is so diabolical. I never would have guessed he switched with Hinamori. Pure evil. The looks on their faces was just, epic...how the heck does Ichigo stand a chance?

;_; no chapter next week.

I didn't notice this before (my friend pointed it out actually) but Aizen had the Hinamori switch planned such a long time ago. Kubo does a good job of showing subtle hints of Aizen being a very masterful tactician. I really like the chapter with Aizen's power coming to realization. Makes you think about the whole concept of reality. But he is becoming VERY broken at this point...approaching maybe an eighth of Alucard's level. Ichigo will have to beat him with one sense Aizen can't control, instinct!

And wow all top four fights involved Ichigo huh? Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised since he is the main character afterall...

Ohh interesting XD and I thought Kubo didn't plan a lot fu.png nah, I know a lot of people seem to think he doesn't, but on some things he really does give subtle hints of what will happen. Course it's hard to figure it out till after the fact.

But I really liked this chapter because we can clearly see what Aizen's style is, and to me, it sort of highlights his weakness. While we have had all these chapters with Gin and Aizen bragging about how strong he is without his sword, in truth he has been using it all along. Even with everyone determined not to be caught in an illusion, they right away fall victim to his false boasting and let their guard down because of it. His greatest strength is his ability to manipulate, and he preys upon their fear of his sword. It's really smart of him, but it also shows a dependence upon his sword. You pretty much need to shut your eyes and plug your ears to fight him. So I do agree that his greatest weakness would be instinct. Ichigo has it, in the form of his hollow, but he isn't ready to use that ability to its full potential yet, I don't think.

Can't say I was surprised one bit with this chapter, Aizen is the most over powered charactor i've seen, sad how all the Captains and Vice-captains fell into his trap so easily and so far we haven't even seen him fight seriously, or release his Bankai, on top of that it's very possible he has a Hollowfied form as well (If he says he obtained the highest form possible surely that would be he's reached the peak of both Shinigami and Hollow power.)

I don't see Ichigo strong enough yet to defeat Aizen, even in his full hollowfied form, however we still have Isshin, Yoriochi and Kisuke who have not turned up to the party yet, and that does stirke me as odd.

Though I have a feeling he's one of them that's so used to winning that if Ichigo gets one hit in, he'll lose his cool and start panicking and make mistakes.

Shinji already scored a hit on him. He didn't drop the smug look for one second. Even if Ichigo cuts his arms off, I doubt he'd lose his cool. Aizen's just that kind of jackass.

I'm more impressed by the turnaround with Hinamori. People hated her for the longest time, but now that she's back and getting stabbed and crushed, people are loving her. I don't understand the world. >_<
