User blog comment:Godisme/Deicide...Ah I can't keep track anymore/@comment-1268838-20100708193914

That's the mystery. Being called "Deicide," we can only assume that a god is going to be killed by the time the chapters are over. Whether it will be Aizen or the Spirit King who dies, is the question. Supposedly, an arc longer than the Arrancar one is supposed to be over the horizon - funny, considering that this feels like a series finale. I still have my theory that the Hogyoku is going to possess Aizen's body - in which case, it would be possible for Aizen to die without us losing an antagonist. As for the Spirit King dying, I doubt it will happen. That would require everybody in Karakura to die, otherwise Aizen will be short one Oken. But hey, that'd be one hell of a twist.
