I think that Yamamoto is fine besides his arm being cracked. I think that Aizen stating the Kido was "sacrificial" was a bit much but even more so Aizen barely getting hurt. Though if you think about it, Aizen Sosuke still sustained damage even with the Hogyoku protecting him instinctively.

I think that the drawing was very good and I particularly appreciated the cover with my favorite character, Kuchiki Byakuya. Speaking of him, I want to know how the battle is faring with him, Kenpachi, Mayuri, and Yami. I do not like how Kubo leaves things hanging.

Also, what happened to Muguruma Kensei??? I mean Tite Kubo had him fighting the modified Arrancar, Wonderweiss Margera, and then he dissapeared. It does not make any sense waht so ever!

People are trying to envision that Ichimaru Gin is the mastermind or what is he doing at the moment, but really, IT IS NOT IMPORTANT!!! Gin is a captain and capable but he is not that strong overall. A captain who is about as strong as Kenpachi could probably kill him. So please, do not worry about Gin until Aizen is killed, if he ever dies because at this rate he practically immortal.

Aizen said that in a battle of strength that he would definitely lose to Commander-Captain Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. That means that at a certain point Aizen would be taken down after enough injuries and/or confrontation. Aizen later said that if we specialize in one area that it would be able to oppose incredible power (paraphrasing). Sosuke was able to do this by modifying Wonderweiss and implanting the Hogyoku into his abdomen. What I am trying to say is that, Aizen's power, encompassing all of his skill, talents, and specialties, is probably at least twice as great as Yamamoto's. So if Aizen Sosuke's power is AT LEAST TWICE as GREAT as the Captain-Commander, then how is Ichigo to win. There is absolutely no hope for Kurosaki to be victorious in such an uneven battle of might. Even with the help of Urahara's group, Kurosaki Isshin, Ishida Ryuken, and the Captains in Hueco Mundo, the plight is futile. If Gin does end up being extremely strong, that does not help. It is a hopeless situation completely. Also, Aizen mentions how Kurosaki Ichigo's development has played into his hand and who he planned it, so Ichigo getting even STRONGER, may just help Aizen Sosuke progress in life. An example of this is when Yamamoto downsized the realeasing of Ryujin Jakka's flames, it helped Aizen's planning by preserving Fake Karakura Town. Life is unfair. Even Ichigo's Hollow form would only probably place him around Genryusai's power and Aizen dispstched of him gaining only minor wounds.
