User blog comment:Darknesslover5000/What did Aizen mean when he said to Ichigo "Eating you...is something that can be done after all is finished."?/@comment-1405841-20100604031456

I personally thought it was a more menacing way of saying "Killing you...is something that can be done after all is finished." Think about it, you're the good guy and the bad guy is about to say something to get under your skin...what better than saying that he's going to eat you? It's a bit more gruesome in thought than simply killing, let's take Berserk for example...if you have ever ventured into the manga or watched the last episodes of the anime, you'll know what I mean. If someone ultimately powerful came up and said "I'm going to eat you later" in some context...I'd be a bit wide eyed myself!
