I wouldnt mind if Gin became the next main villain, i mean im a hughe Gin fan- the more chapter space devoted to him the better. However somehow that role of main villain just doesnt fit Gin..... sure hes calculating, shown himself to be ruthless, powerful and isnt exactly good, but he doesnt seem to be evil in the general terms that a big villain needs to be. The main villain almost always has a goal to attain which puts him in conflict with the protagonist ( in this case Aizen wants the Kings key and it involves destroying KT, ichigos hometown) in this sense Aizen fits the antagonist role. Gin, however, just seems to do want he wants for the simple sake of pleasing himself whether it be in good or evil acts. Also aside from bifurcatingg Hiyori what has in genuinely done to make Ichigo see him as more evil than Aizen. All in all i doubt Gin will be the next Big Bad.

On that note id also say that Aizen deffinately wont die, from a story telling point of view for Kubo to drop so many little hints about Aizen needing Ichigo for something and then to never elaborate would be very unusual. But im up for anything at this point as im so happy, id put this as my favourite chapter yet in Bleach.
