I agree these points have been consistently missed its all about the fighting with most people. They care about the fights and when they care about characters alot has nothing to do with what they bring to the story or personality its just cause they are powerful. Thats all well in good but you can't build a story around the all powerful. This was my issue with Aizen what story can be built around him. I see people justify him being overpowered all the time. But I always ask wheres the story. How is this progressing anything. Every fight has to have some meaning and they have until recently.


 * Ichigo v. Grimmjow - Ichigo vs. destruction as a living force. The one part of death we normally cant face.


 * Ichigo v. Ulquiorra - Ichigo vs. nihilism as a living force. Purpose in the face of the absence of meaning in life.

Each fight against the Espada has a purpose in one shape or another. Then these new chapters start and the meanings stop. No holds bard fighting for the sake of fighting. They try to add in meaning but it falls short, something has changed.
