also, having Kyouka Suigetsu conveniently disappear this chapter was just so Aizen couldn't say that magical word everyone's been waiting for, "bankai". Perhaps Mr. Kubo didn't want to disappoint by creating a Bankai weaker than it's Shikai.

Then this Urahara thing...If Kubo was going to have Aizen go out like that, why make him so strong with all the evolutions, all that feels pointless now. And characters can only say "I lied" so many times before it gets annoying. Gin kept telling half-truths (or rather third-truths lol) about Kamishini no Yari and now Kisuke apparently knows everything about the Hogyouku despite not even using it for a century, yeah, this is where it gets annoying. This is all beyond reason.

Next, there was no way Urahara would know Aizen would destroy the Cleaner so Ichigo could train with Isshin and learn the Final Getsuga, and know that Gin would buy them time by betraying aizen. there are so many variables being overlooked here. It feels just like the little speech Aizen gave Ichigo about how he's been controlling his life...
