I already freaked out over it while reading MangaStream, thinking that the panel that followed the comment was Gin getting slashed. But then I realised it was Ichigo and calmed down. I already suspected that Aizen was/is moments away from performing a harribel on Gin and the sleepyfans version just confirms what I have been suspecting. The sleepyfans version also drew attention to Aizen's eyes and he was giving Gin the same disconcerting look that he gave him in chapter 407.

In fact, Aizen has been giving Gin some pretty odd looks since about Chapter 398, when he pointed out that Gin had been watching on the sidelines for a long time. I mean, it's not like Gin's explanation was weak or anything. Aizen chosen to fight and he really didn't need help. So there was no reason to get annoyed at Gin for just standing around watching. But Aizen didn't seem to like it and he seems to be getting more annoyed with Gin every chapter and saying strange things like in chapter 406, when he asked Gin what he was planning to do with Ichigo. Gin had of course told Ichigo to run and then threatened to cut him down if he didn't. Was Aizen angry at Gin wanting to kill Ichigo or was he angry at Gin for telling Ichigo to run away? So you know, it's not like this hasn't been hinted at.

But I am resigned to the inevitable. I have my chocolate, my Gin plushie and my quilt all ready. I'll always love Gin, no matter what happens. I just hope that Kubo remembers that Gin is popular among the ladies and that hell has no fury like a fangirl scorned! In other words, Kubo had better do Gin justice! *shakes fist*
