I found the chapter good. But I find the boast of Aizen fans who say things like without Aizen there would be no Bleach to be utterly ridiculous. Bleach was well on its way for 168 Chapters before anyone even knew of Aizen being a bad guy. We also went 2 whole arcs without him even being physically involved. So that whole concept is a sad thought that you dont care enough about Bleach to notice how everyone else featured in the 168 Chapters brought the story where it currently is. If you cant appreciate a story without an unevolved character like Aizen than why even read/watch Bleach. I could see that idea making since if we were talking about Ichigo but your missing the whole point of the series and will be all the more disappointed when he's gone for good.

Also its getting old pushing for characters or events that dont really fit in the story or may not even be placed in the story. Especially when you have no proof that it will go that way remotely.

Sticking to the point Urahara was amazing as always, the use of Behinime shows its versatile abilities. Yoruichi was sick as always with simple hand-to-hand combat. The biggest point Aizen admitting Urahara's intellect surpasses his own. So far he has admitted Urahara is smarter and that his attacks would have finished him off. He also admits earlier a one on one battle with Yamamoto would have not ended in his favor.

The main event being the use of Getsuga Tensho by Isshin. Still up in the air as from what we know about Zanpakuto, it doesn't make sense that he can use it. I would think some form of mimicry being his zanpakuto's ability but thats simple speculation. But for those who would suggest all manner of crack theories. I will state this much.

It is fact that those that have bankai can release shikai without release command. There are currently 3 captain-level zanpakuto that don't change form in shikai (Tosen, Komamura, Aizen) Aizen's we dont even know when its being used in shikai and because of that his use of its power is confusing as we never know when its being used. Iba has shown his shikai multiple times without ever revealing its name or release command. We still don't know Minazuki's release command nor Tenken's. We have yet to even seen Yoruichi, Tessai, Yachiru, Nanao's or Nemu's. So for any who stress that Kubo would tell you or show you if Isshin released into shikai or give its name thats a false hope. We will know when he chooses to tell us and if he doesn't oh well put another unknown on the list.
