User blog:TVthePunisher/Chapter 415 - Deicide 17...and Kubo trolled again...

Out earlier than I expected, it's been a thursday release for a few weeks now...but enough about that...

Everyone said Aizenfly after he broke out of that Cacoon, who could have predicted this? Half said Aizen would die by Gin...the other Half said he'd pull some trick out of his sleeve, that it was a trick of his Zanpakuto or he'd do something else absurd. Well in reality, nobody was right.

The chapter is focused on these two primarily, with small showings of unnamed Soul Reapers and Rangiku at the end, and we're stuck between flashbacks and the current. So...Gin "killed" Aizen, grabbed the Hokey-Pokey and took off like hell, in an attempt to destroy it. Aizen's pissed, really pissed...and then boom, a lot of flashy lights and out comes the newly formed Aizen, AGAIN! This time he's got wings (Butterfly wings no doubt, not Angel wings like most villians would sport...BUTTERFLY WINGS) and Gin's in a rush to destroy the Hogyoku. No go Gin, Aizen said whether it's away from or apart of him...the thing is his and his alone, thus destroying it is impossible for him to do.

Then Aizen appears...and sadly, as some predicted, he slashes Gin. Will this kill Gin? I don't know...am I happy? OF COURSE NOT!

With that crap out of the way, let me express that I am in no way satisfied with this chapter. Kubo trolled, Kubo's loling over my grave right now because he wasted an opportunity with Gin to just make Aizen...STRONGER?! What was the POINT...he hardly got to showcase his "Complete Form" aside from killing a fugly and breaking a black ball with a light on it, NOW he's hitting another form, which is his new COMPLETE form. This form really takes on that idea of "Aizenfly", because Butterfly...Aizenfly, FRUITY BUTTERFLY WINGS! Oh...let's not forget that he looks iddferent now too. Kind of a dress thing going on? I'm not digging it, looks like his outfit has completely fused with him (does that mean he has white skin now too?)...his eyes have changed abit, no pupil in the iris. Uh...his hair is like doing this crazy 80's rocker thing, I guess it's...okay? I don't know, I'm missing the mullet he sported the past few looks. What else....he looks slightly more muscular (whoopdie doo?), there's this thing with his forehead (last page makes it look like a teardrop, oh here we go...I've seent he whole teardrop thing in so many mangas and animes...~_~). Oh and it appears his sword is like a blade just sticking directly out of his hand now...at least from what I could see.

Okay we get a flashback here and there, we see Gin's eyes (I'm looking at this and that would be child-Gin folks, see the leaves?)...and Aizen friggin cuts down Gin! Is this the same kind of cut-down that happened to Harribel? The one that left her status DECEASED, looks like it...but it would be premature at this point to call Gin deceased, just because he got slashed across the chest. No one stated he's dead and the "suspense" text you get at the end of each chapter doesn't necessarily mean he's kicked the bucket either.

I'm irritated with this...I really am, I don't know if anyone else is going to be as pissed as I am but...I'm sorry Gin, if this is the end for you...I'm crying over the wasted potential Kubo had to use you for. Please pull through, please T_T...

To be fair...and not to let my fandom of Gin get in the way, it's an alright chapter. Big moment happened last week with one of the main antagonist hitting the primary antagonist with a deathblow, then it's revealed that did nothing more than sprout a new transformation...it's not a bad transition at all, so the chapter deserves a 4/5. Sure I hate the fact that Gin's plan got turned against him, but we'll just have to see...maybe Gin can pull through......maybe. BTW...ICHIGO, HURRY THE CRAP UP MAN! If you can show up in time maybe Gin won't die ;>_>...presuming that this hit didn't already do that number on him.

EDIT: I'd like to add that there is a potential plothole regarding the flashbacks...take a guess as to what it is. Discuss. Or maybe Aizen will go into a fullblown reveal again...been awhile since we got a super-long speech.
