I already placed this comment in my own blog but this is directly on the same matter so Id like to use it here. Im with you on this Lia. This was unpredictable so that was refreshing in that regard the a group working together is more of a danger then a supposedly all powerful single enemy. Which is a classic concept. No man is an Island and Aizen has essentially done that to himself, made himself the lone god defeating the lesser beings but that isn't happening this chapter. Thats the type of writing I love from Kubo, thats what I have felt being missed since Aizen has entered into battle I wasn't seeing any progression where I had seen it in all the other fights. The thrill level was never felt because it was hopeless. The question now is this just a ruse or is it gonna stand. I doubt he will take out Aizen without showing his bankai so that maybe his next move who knows, well see.

Curveballs are one thing but they have to still be within the realm of possibility. Now solid illusionary constructs would make perfect sense as a bankai ability. Though this makes me question the attack on Aizen. If he has this ability whose to say the one they attacked is real or just an illusion he wants them to believe? Who says he hasn't already activated his bankai? Who says that he hasn't used a similar shunpo technique leaving behind a clone similar to (Byakuya, Yoruichi)? I wouldn't want this to be foundation for a continuation of all-powerful Aizen.

As far as Gin is concerned my actual issue is what role is he playing because as current he is not playing the common role one would normally play in this situation. At least not out right. Gin was a child prodigy similar to hitsugaya. He is a genius who also happens to be a sociopath. Im actually more interested in his character then i ever was in Aizen's. His lack of involvement in this fight is concerning especially in every other fight in bleach you commonly have to fight your way up the chain. Why is Aizen fighting and not him? Why us he being portrayed as if he was gonna be the last man standing? As I have said before something aint right. Maybe he will intervene now that Aizen is in a tough spot. We will see i guess.
