Nice blog as always. my main comment on it is how perfectly you've captured all the negativity about the chapter with SP0. I've seen a ton of people who've been whining about Aizen being sealed away instead of being killed by Ichigo. Honestly, I think that Urahara had to be the one who finally defeated Aizen for 2 reasons: The symbolism of defeating the man he failed to one hundred years ago, and in leads in perfectly to a discussion of the Spirit King, which is where the story is likely to head from here. Here's part of my post from god's blog...

"Nice chapter, but I'm definately confused on the Spirit king now. Aizen called it "That thing". Urahara refers to him/her as the lynchpin of the Soul Society, and says "So, you saw it?", and he had a somber look on his face that is telling me, "The Spirit King is wrong in some way, but he is a necessary evil." I can't really prove anything like that, and I kind of hope me bringing it up won't sound too cracky, but Kisuke looked almost regretful in sealing away Aizen. Usually when he's doing something as amazing as this, he has his hat over his face and a big grin on, but he looked almost like he didn't want it to end the way it did. And this isn't really helping me think straight...

"A winner must always think not of how the world is, but how the world should be!!!!"

Aizen said this, and it's making me get a headache... What exactly is the Spirit King that he thinks the world would be better without it? I want to know how exactly it keeps the Soul Society together, and what it really is."

Really, I'm kind of suspicious of Urahara now. We've always kind of known that he knows a lot more than he lets on, but now he even knows about the Spirit King. This chapter has opened up so many more questions on the subject.
