User blog comment:Avolling/The Good Guys Will Not Die (Because Tite Kubo Is A Pushover)/@comment-1712587-20100323115653

I think this is an interesting point that Avolling has made and seems to have been overlooked.

this wasn't about statuses on the wiki but of the fact that the good guys always pull through in the story. take Yama-jii, the last chapter says sacrificial kido. now ususally that means he's definantely dead, but will he be? maybe not. Tosen was killed by kazeshini to the throat but hiyori bifrucated by shinso isn't so bad. Ichigo has "died" maybe three or four times (i lose count) but always pulls through with hollow help or not. the fact is that Aizens biggest flaw in all of this seems to either be not icking one or two high ranking healers into his ranks or not choosing people with enough resolve!! will toshiro die from being pretty much cut in half, probably not. that seems to be the point, and it is very true.
