I Think that they wouldn't kill off Gin and just correcting the wiki he is dyeing and doesn't get aid soon he'll die, and if they did then Rangiku would probably get a bit made and maybe fall into a depression? and with Ukitake, impaled through the chest, they say he might be dead but Shunsui Kyraoku was shot point blank with a cero, so we have to keep that in mind. We know Hitsuguya, Soi Fon, Kyraoku and Shinji are alive because Aizen Said that it is impressive for them to survive such an attack so be it, you will watch the end of this conflict. Kaname Tosen, he exploded maybe it could have been Kyoka Suigetsu? It may sound fanish but who cares it may sound like some crack theory but these are points we, and Tite Kubo if he is reading this, to take into consideration.
