this is the second bad chapter in two weeks. This is a first for Kubo. That was anticlimactic and just silly.

If Urahara didn’t know about the Hogyouku’s wish-granting and the double Captain Reiatsu cheat code, how did he set all of this up? His plan basically went on the assumption that the Hogyouku would somehow turn against Aizen. Also, at the time he created this Kido (which must’ve been before the battle in Fake Karakura Town), he couldn’t have known Aizen would have fused it to himself, or even know the Hogyouku’s power is granting wishes instead of breaking barriers. There are very obvious missteps in logic here.
