well i dont think aizen will be killed in this arc since he, more or less, has been presented as the main villain of the entire series. From my POV, for aizen to just be killed in this arc even though hes been the main villain for so long would just not make any sense. Aizen is a VERY COOL bad guy and i dont think anyone can replace him. Also i think that this third new, supposedly final, saga will introduce new antagonists for ichigo to face. In the SS saga we had the shinigami themselves who were Ichigo's main enemies, in the Arrancar Saga we had the espada and in this new saga maybe possibly enemies from the Royal demenision. Also, remember that we have not, to our knowledge seen Aizen's bankai yet. For him to die withut us seeing it seems kind of weird. As for Gin... well since Tosen is dead i think most likely he will die as well, maybe he has a hollow mask too...
