Honestly, I really liked this chapter. Aizen's transformation was something I had not foreseen; it was a far better "twist" than him just spamming Kyoka Suigetsu. Then again, he hasn't used his Zanpakuto's abilities AT ALL lately, so even that would have been nice in my book. The flashbacks were indeed just "glimpses" of the past, being very vague and unexplanatory - was it just me, or did it look like those thugs got the Hogyoku-looking thing from Rangiku? I saw the Hogyoku thing coming - ripping it out of his chest just isn't good enough. It looks like Aizen was right after all; he didn't fuse with the Hogyoku, he subdued it. Regardless of whether it is separated from him, it is still bound by his will.

As for how Ichigo will defeat Butterflaizen (see what I did thar?), let's not forget that in addition to the final Getsuga Tenshou, Ichigo will also be able to Hollowfy correctly, something he hasn't been able to do since he defeat Ulquiorra. If Ichigo were to gain control of that power, he just might have a chance. The way I see it now, destroying the Hogyoku itself is the only way to defeat Aizen now.
