Firstly, congrats on replacing me on the committee God; not really had a chance to say so.

Secondly, maybe you're all being a little hard on FGT; most attacks, from my experience, are 'one shot and done' in nature, so why should this be any different? Also, so what if it didn't destroy Aizen outright? He lost his transformations, and reverted to kind of normal (didn't I kind of predict last week that the Hogyoku would leave him high and dry?), which wouldn't have happened had he not used it. Would Kisuke's kido have worked without it? No, he even said so himself. Maybe Ichigo should have administered the coup-de-grace in some people's eyes, but as you said, it's more fitting that Kisuke did it in the end. Plus, the triumphant return of ANGRY FACE!

Thirdly, sorry to put a dampener on things, but I can't help but think that this isn't over. Cue iD.E.M moment.

So Ichigo has indeed, for now at least, lost his powers. Who'll take over as lead for the time being? Isshin maybe? (it'd be a good excuse to answer some unanswered questions; his division, more about Engetsu, why he knows about/used FGT)
