Well, (shame on me for saying this) it would be sorta nice if Kubo *gasp* killed off one of the good guys. That would make those defeats seem more real, you know? Like, they had a really, really heavy-handed defeat. We haven't seen any absolutely massively crushing defeats in Bleach. They've been more minor. Cite Aizen all you want, but I would "like" it if one of the good guys died. It would just make defeat seem more core-shaking, and it would strike home a lot more. I don't want anyone to die, but somehow someone dying I think would make the story more emotional.
