My, I never thought that you and I would ever agree in anything, Salubri, no offense intended. Yet, I've spent years screaming that Aizen is way too overpowered (normally I use less complicated words). Indeed, it's just absurd that the guy has everything planned for the last 100 years. My usual expression for this is something like "Ha! I already knew you were gonna eat sushi on thursday so now I can rule over the world!". As you say, the man shows no development whatsoever, it's absolutely absurd. I highly doubt Isshin will participate in this war, I don't know about Urahara and Yoruichi, but I'm truly disappointed at Tite Kubo on this point. After our long, LONG wait for the Vizards, and that triunfal, almost miraculous arrival to Karakura Town, all the guys have done is get screwed, and kill some Gillians. Mashiro's punched to oblivion, Hiyori cut in half, Rose could be dead for all we know. I have a whole entry to do on that topic, so I'm not expanding here, but Tite Kubo totally crushed potentially amazing characters just to push Aizen's supposed power to a ridiculous level, where, as you say, there's no point in protecting Ichigo from Aizen's shikai, since the man is apparently good enough to destroy the world with his bare hands
