@Softmint Shinigami with a Hellbutterfly don't go through the Dangai, they get straight to SS from the Senkaimon

I'm concerned about Matsumoto's condition too, to the point I believe she could end up dying here (naah, who am I kidding. This is Bleach after all) But I don't like the "running away" scenario. I think having Matsumoto actually confront Gin and Aizen and at least try to fight them would for once beat the everlasting "guy stays to fight, girl runs and takes the wounded" clichè. Someone mentioned that she could even pull out a Bankai, she was afterall, training for it, though I don't see this one happening.

Maybe it could be Aizen attacking Matsumoto, with Gin watching, and then something snaps inside him and it's then that he has the real change of heart. Or I'm being too idealistic here? I'm too fanatic of the GinRan. It could end with Gin and/or Rangiku being Kensei'd (we don't actually see the fight, just Aizen with his Aizen-god smile) and Ichigo arriving in the last second to save them before Aizen annihilates them/Gin/Rangiku (depending of the situation). *Sigh* I must have like 30 scenarios playing in my head right now.
