To be honest, I liked Gin's Bankai the way it was, but this revelation about its true power is pretty awesome. I find it funny that he describes it as "dust," when it seems to be more like "shards." As for Lia's question about how the ability works, I'm pretty sure the shards shoot in a straight line at high speed, and then return to reconstruct the blade - I have my doubts that the dust could be controlled any other way.

As for whether or not this will actually kill Aizen... I honestly don't know anymore. In my opinion, he's had more than a tad too many "futile effort" moments to just shrug this one off, and it would undermine Gin's century-long plan to kill him if he does survive. The way I see it, Aizen may die, but what of the Hogyoku?
