User blog comment:Lemursrule/The Soul Society Arc Overrated? The Pros and Cons of the Soul Society Arc/@comment-3480057-20110318042322

One last thing I wish to add is that in both the Arrancar and SS arcs there is a climax near the end where multiple battles are going on at once. There is, however, a huge difference in the nature of the battles. The Arrancar arc's climax is far easier to tell who is on who's side since you have known the characters and their motives for much longer for the most part. The SS arc, on the other hand, requires that you pay close attention to the events leading up to the climax. Even so, some of the characters seem to change sides right at the climax and makes things more chaotic. Not to mention the OMFGWTF moment with Aizen at the very end of the conflict. This is my only REAL problem with the SS arc.
