I genuinely loved this chapter..... it wasnt the best there has been but it was still very good. People seem to be complaining about 2 things mainly, Aizens new power and the Kenseian defeat of Isshin,Urahara and Yoruichi. 1) in terms of Aizens power all i can say is get over it. It has been clear from the start of the series that Aizen was insanely strong and he himself stated he wished to become stronger... this should come as no surprise then. But the reason you should all stop worrying is answered in my next statement. 2) Though it may be annoying that Urahara etc were Kensei-d by Aizen we should take solice in the fact that they are not critically hurt and even better they havent even released their shikai's / bankai's. Therefore we can assume that Aizens attack was a surprise and so they never got a chance to fight at full power. This means its highly likely that they will have an even better fight at full power later on. Aizen is at his peak power so far so it should make for a great fight.

Aside from that i wonder what Aizen meant when speaking to Ichigo about devouring him...... perhaps he has been using the hogyoku to absorb ichigos reiatsu or hollow. Also i liked how Gin said he was having a test of strength with Ichigo, to me this refers to his testing of ichigos mental strength (will) and not testing his physical strength. Its almost like Gin has managed to convince ichigo, simply with words, that he couldnt possibly beat him.

all in all ill give this chapter a 7/10
