Yoruichi and Aizen
In the Soul Society arc, why didn't Yoruichi go after Aizen? She seemed to be aware of his past actions. When Isane Kotetsu broadcasted the message, she seemed to be just as surprised as everyone else of his treason! It also looks like she hesitated to kill him. Why is this?

Like everyone else, she thought he was dead. She probably also didn't think that he would betray Soul Society at that time, if at all. It is unknown if Urahara ever told her about the Hogyoku, but if she did know, she may have assumed that was when Aizen would make his move, but it all comes down to the fact that Aizen was thought to be dead. Regarding her hesitation to kill him, she likely would have preferred he be brought to justice and not mindlessly killed, and probably hoped for an explanation.

Since Aizen likely could have overpowered Yoruichi and Soifon, I doubt they could have anyways. Same for Tosen and Ichimaru. Both were held by lieutenant-class shinigami, who they could most easily could have overpowered empty-handed. One eye 20:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, Yoruichi is a former covert ops commander, and as such, she probably has been gathering information when she wasn't training Ichigo. And she likely found out that Aizen was "murdered", which at the time, nobody knew the full extent of his zanpakuto's real ability. So, it probably wasn't that Aizen was revealed to be a traitor, but the fact that he was actually alive the whole time. As for why she and Soifon didn't kill him when they cornered him... it's like any sort of criminal investigations. They likely wanted to interrogate him for his actions and find out what he was doing, why he was doing it, as well as anything else they could get out of him. These are just possible reason though, so I can't say that I know for sure.

Also, in the Turn Back the Pendulum arc, Urahara was confused as to how Aizen was spotted in the Seireitei while also being out doing his Hollowfication experiments at the same time, and as such, nobody in Urahara's group was even aware of what Kyoka Suigetsu's real ability was.

Arrancar109, when Aizen hollowfied everyone, he lectured Shinji on the ability of his shikai.


 * No, he told Hirako (and whatever Vizard were still concious at the time). Urahara was not there. Thus he did not know about Aizen's illusion powers at the time (he would only have found out about them later on). -- Yyp (Talk) 10:11, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Possible Shikai
i've noticed on the latest chapter that Yoruichi has some sort of armor on her hands and feet. do you think it's a possible shikai (her zanpakuto)? WinterFox 08:02, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

yah.... but if that's her shikai... then.. there should only be one gauntlet?? as we seen there are 4 armor or possibly gauntlet on her 4 limbs... making me suggest that it would be her bankai... one clue about that gauntlet that makes me think that this is her bankai is because it's destructive strength.... strong enough to damage the armored aizen or what ever..

You dare to underestimate the Goddess of Flash? Nah, she could easily deal that much with Shikai. Also, Aizen would've felt something if she'd released Bankai within a few miles of the area.

Also, it's far too small for Bankai. Ichigo's is absurdly small, as far as Bankais go, and Kensei's is about the smallest besides his. Nah, it'd be a bit larger. Ratiqu 20:47, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
