After seeing all the chapter bashing, I thought I might chip in with a couple of redeemers. First, we all knew that Aizen would come out of this perfectly fine. While I was hoping for some form of ressurecion, this concept wasn't half bad. Sure, he used Kyoka Suigetsu, but what got me was the damaga he perpetrated on the Gotei 13 by using it. Apart from just downing a half a dozen captains, he certainly managed to shake them to the very core. Consider Hitsugaya. Could anything have disturbed him more than attacking his childhood friend? Aizen drove the lot into carelessness. He may be overpowered, but that was a known fact, especially if his entire team (read 3 captains) could take on the whole fighting force of the Gotei 13.

Ichigo's reaction bothered me a lot. The call to see reason was far too late to be believable. Unless, I reasoned with myself, the entire battle took place in a split second. That would be everything since Soi Fon confronted Aizen. Still, those are weak grounds, and may not redeem Kurosaki much.

Will expect much diatribe based on this comment, mostly directed towards me.
