User blog comment:Lia Schiffer/406: Deicide 8 end of the Chrysalis Age/@comment-1405841-20100605063143

I'm ready for the prediction blogs on the next chapter, I just turned 21 today and I'll probably be 25 before the series ends...I just hope Aizen isn't spamming Infinite Health much longer. Will Aizen get attacked by a combo assault from father and son? Or will there be a brief cutaway from the action to show the injured (and maybe un-Kensei'd Kensei at last). Will the Arc end before Ichigo follows Aizen, which would then in turn mean that Yammy might get Kensei'd by a sudden appearance by Byakuya and Kenpachi?

Nothing farfetched there, all possibilities depending on how Kubo wants to approach this. I am 50/50 on whether or not Kubo carries the next chapter directly following Aizen, it seems likely given the mood point of the story but like I said they could focus on the injured. There are A LOT of characters down right now...to cover them all almost requires a chapter in itself. Even trying to fit them all in individual windows will be difficult, unless mysteriously everyone is laying right next to each other! Of course Kubo might wait until the Arc's end before taking care of that...so who knows really.

Considering that Kubo bothered to give Aizen a new, sexier form almost guarantees him an appearance for the next shorter Arc and possibly continuing on into the Final Arc (even retaining his role as Main Villain to the end of the series). The way Aizen was looking in his cocoon state gave a lot of people the impression that he's toast...but now that he's Aizenfly, it's tough to say. I'm still up for that Hogyoku malfunction theory...a tool is never perfect, something could go terribly wrong.

Ichigo better whip his own ass so he can stand up like a main character for once, because if this continues for many more chapters of him freaking out...he'll just get more bad reception on his part. I do hope that they don't use Isshin as the ONLY GOOD CHARACTER TO DIE SO FAR as an excuse to get Hollow Ichigo to take over in that form he used on Ulquoirra...and take on Aizen. Isshin doesn't deserve that, hell kill Yama and Momo before him any day...
