User blog comment:Salubri/Final Fight: Reflections of an Unrealistic and Ridiculous Battle/@comment-1489595-20100131061450

I think Salubri is correct.

Aizen's flaw as a character is that he really has none. Character I mean. No history to put his actions in context. No attempt to humanize him in the same way even his minions get. He is just a bad guy doing bad guy things because thats what bad guys are supposed to do. For all of the character's raw power Aizen remains uninspired and boring.

Kubo might correct this in future installments of Bleach (if Aizen survives) but it sucks the passion out of the current confrontation over Karakura Town.
