Yoruichi and Aizen
In the Soul Society arc, why didn't Yoruichi go after Aizen? She seemed to be aware of his past actions. When Isane Kotetsu broadcasted the message, she seemed to be just as surprised as everyone else of his treason! It also looks like she hesitated to kill him. Why is this?

Like everyone else, she thought he was dead. She probably also didn't think that he would betray Soul Society at that time, if at all. It is unknown if Urahara ever told her about the Hogyoku, but if she did know, she may have assumed that was when Aizen would make his move, but it all comes down to the fact that Aizen was thought to be dead. Regarding her hesitation to kill him, she likely would have preferred he be brought to justice and not mindlessly killed, and probably hoped for an explanation.

Since Aizen likely could have overpowered Yoruichi and Soifon, I doubt they could have anyways. Same for Tosen and Ichimaru. Both were held by lieutenant-class shinigami, who they could most easily could have overpowered empty-handed. One eye 20:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, Yoruichi is a former covert ops commander, and as such, she probably has been gathering information when she wasn't training Ichigo. And she likely found out that Aizen was "murdered", which at the time, nobody knew the full extent of his zanpakuto's real ability. So, it probably wasn't that Aizen was revealed to be a traitor, but the fact that he was actually alive the whole time. As for why she and Soifon didn't kill him when they cornered him... it's like any sort of criminal investigations. They likely wanted to interrogate him for his actions and find out what he was doing, why he was doing it, as well as anything else they could get out of him. These are just possible reason though, so I can't say that I know for sure.

Also, in the Turn Back the Pendulum arc, Urahara was confused as to how Aizen was spotted in the Seireitei while also being out doing his Hollowfication experiments at the same time, and as such, nobody in Urahara's group was even aware of what Kyoka Suigetsu's real ability was.

Arrancar109, when Aizen hollowfied everyone, he lectured Shinji on the ability of his shikai.


 * No, he told Hirako (and whatever Vizard were still concious at the time). Urahara was not there. Thus he did not know about Aizen's illusion powers at the time (he would only have found out about them later on). -- Yyp (Talk) 10:11, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Yoruichi first sees Aizen in the Soul Society during the Soul Society arc and then in the Fake Karakura Town during the Fake Karakura Town arc. Isn't she, like Urahara, Tessai and Isshin stronger than Aizen?--Gran Danku 22:17, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * No. Aizen was a lieutenant when Yoruichi was a captain. They both attended Urahara's appointment as captain. Yyp  (Talk) 08:12, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Possible Shikai
i've noticed on the latest chapter that Yoruichi has some sort of armor on her hands and feet. do you think it's a possible shikai (her zanpakuto)? WinterFox 08:02, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

yah.... but if that's her shikai... then.. there should only be one gauntlet?? as we seen there are 4 armor or possibly gauntlet on her 4 limbs... making me suggest that it would be her bankai... one clue about that gauntlet that makes me think that this is her bankai is because it's destructive strength.... strong enough to damage the armored aizen or what ever.. Frostymoon 09:25, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

You dare to underestimate the Goddess of Flash? Nah, she could easily deal that much with Shikai. Also, Aizen would've felt something if she'd released Bankai within a few miles of the area.

Also, it's far too small for Bankai. Ichigo's is absurdly small, as far as Bankais go, and Kensei's is about the smallest besides his. Nah, it'd be a bit larger. Ratiqu 20:47, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

I don't see why there are four armor plates means it's not her shikia. We know two captains who releases form two swords, another captain that releases thousands of blades, then Hisagi who has two scythes, and finally i think the best evidence was that third seat(?) of the 7th squad that Uyuur put down. His sword were a bunch of spinning blades in the air. So shikai isn't limited to just one weapon or blade. The question i want to know is, if it is in fact her shikai why didn't get to see her name it or release it.

(^^^ Eeeerrr I didn't typed all that) I don't think Yoruichi's Shikai would break that easily, even if is Aizen we are talking about :/ ItzBlitz 23:38, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

it's still possible that it's her shikai even though "we why didn't get to know the name or see her release it." (I believe there have been time where we have seen the shikai first before we get to know the name or seen it release, like Retsu's Minazuki or Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu). I @ItzBlitz: Maybe your right... but Aizen is not the 'same Aizen' anymore.. so it maybe possible for him to break her shikai (assuming it really is a shikai. i also wanted to point out that at first i thought her shikai with be like claws). WinterFox 04:05, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

We're talking about a guy that could utterly destroy Toshiro's Bankai with one hit, as well as heavily injure three other captain-level shinigami in the same instant. That was before Aizen even began to subjugate the Hogyoku; since he has done so, he has already proven to possess a godly amount of durability and power. Destroying a Shinigami's Shikai would hardly be a difficult task. As far as Yoruichi goes, I'm pretty sure that she is using her Shikai right now. The idea that it's just a random set of armor seems kind of strange, and now seems to be the most appropriate time for her to use her Zanpakuto. Not to mention that the release would suit her fighting style quite well. Mohrpheus 16:14, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

and IF that is her shikai i'm guessing her bankai would bee a full set of armor.Soul reaper magnum 16:18, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

from the latest chapter, it seems that the armor is not her shikai but just kind of special armor. i don't know if i'll be happy or sad about this.. sad because i thought TK would clear the smoke surrounding the info on yoruichi's zanpakuto... at the same time i'm happy since this means yoruichi can get a cooler zanpakuto (i'm not saying the hand/leg armor is a bad idea).

Finally The Flash Goddess Appears! (404)‎
Well Well Well,

Here i am again, first off i would like to say thank you to all of the people who commented on my last blog (Bleach ,Our Favorite Characters!). Now lets get to business i have a few questions and concern regarding the recent maga chapter and the most recent anime. In the manga i was on the edge of my seat when Yoruichi came and slammed on Aizen i almost peed my pants, i guess i was so excited because i was like ok we made it this far and NO YORUICHI! but anyways the plan that Isshin, Urahara, and Yoruichi made was greatly executed. one of the thing that has bee bothering me is Aizen faster than Yoruichi? i know that Bleachwiki says that its questionable but i really wanted to know what you guys thought. my next statement is i think that we are gona see some bankais soon because things arent looking to good for Yoruichi and the gang. Now the anime, was 271 not the greatest fight ever! i mean its one thing to watch this on the manga and look at still pictures but its a completely other to watch this fight come to life!! Once again though i felt like slapping Orihime in the face because every second... KUROSAKI-KUN, KUROSAKI-KUN!!!! i mean really SHUT UP. i would also like to give a round of applause to Uryuu i mean did he handle himself or what! i know that he ended up losing anyway but i thought that he did superb. Now back to the Manga I have no idea whats gona happen next usually i can dram a conclusion and predict whats gona happen but i just dont know. What do yall think is gonna happen next?? i think that Urahara, Yoruichi, and Isshin still have another ace up there sleeve. PLEASE COMMENT, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK AND ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU LOL:^)

Hum. Three things.

1: This is not your blog. This is a forum. Treat it as such.

2: If this needs to exist, it belongs in Manga Talks. Not Yoruichi's page in Watercooler.

3: Ep 271 wasn't meant to be a proper battle. It was a moment of panicked desperation, quickly followed by the one-sided slaughter of Ulquiorra. Ratiqu 03:04, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
