Ichigo is going to slip up and get caught in the hypnosis of course, he'll then get beat up a bit before coming up with a countermeasure that tips the fight in his favor again, then Aizen will go Bankai...
One way or another I do hope the series is ending soon after this fight. Every other good guy in the cast has been rendered completely obsolete now, and no amount of Kenpachi-style retconning can fix this. Even if there are Ichigo-level opponents in the King's realm, the only way there can be any variety is if all the other shinigami suddenly start learning Ichigo's method and adapt it to their own fighting styles, and the cycle begins anew... The series has gotten ridiculous enough as it is, Kubo needs to pull out before it's too late. |

It'd be a scenario I would've called time and time again on this board...including the previous chapter.
It's got Yu-Yu Hakusho written all over it. |

But if Bleach continues, the power levels will be absolutely screwed for the exact reason you mentioned unless there's a cop-out and Ichigo's powered back down after the fight.

This is effectively the end of this series. Ichigo's a god now. Aizen's a god. They're regenerating from fatal wounds, destroying mountains, and fending off level 90 kidou like it's nothing. Why should we care anymore what Kenpachi's, Unohana's, or Urahara's bankais look like? They might as well be wielding plastic swords at this point, since Aizen or Ichigo can block zanpakutos with their fingers.
I think the only reason I kept reading was to find out what happens to Aizen (since I enjoyed the SS arc). But Aizen is now a strange butterfly man that bears little resemblance to the original character.

i just realized ichigo's catchphrase is "i'll finish this in an instant" or "i'll finish this quickly"
the start of his fights, (ichigo vs grimmjow and ichigo vs yammy) are recent examples yes agglutination, lmfao i hope kubo didn't use a japanese equivalent of that word since... this is a teen manga isn't it? i uess this is the future power up for everyone? fuse your arm with your zanpakuto... kubo jacked off the first bleach OVA? i guess teh technicality is you have to fuse your arm, not your body... like claire releasing only her arm in claymore for rapid sword

Maybe Ichigo'll defeat Aizen, then his final enemy will be Kenpachi, many years down the line, finally having learned bankai and challenging Ichigo to a rematch - that's the only way we can have one of the Gotei ever achieving Ichigo's current level

Seriously though, despite my stupid grin at seeing Ichigo starting to act GAR, this chapter and seemingly this fight are ridiculous. If nothing else, I've legitimately reached the point (for better or worse) where I do not know where Kubo is going with the series. |

Counting Dangai time, I think the kid's only been a shinigami for roughly a year and he seems to have already surpassed the captain commander. Kenpachi's a tough guy no doubt, but even if the he obtained Bankai and wielded it with both hands, I don't see how Ichigo would need any more than a single pinky toe to win a rematch with him (at this rate). Ichigo's current strength is retarded. The only plausible out I could see for Kubo at this point is to reveal that since the instant Aizen got handpalmed, every single moment of their battle so far has been one massive illusion created by *gasps* Aizen's bankai. In other words, while Ichigo is pwning the crap out of Kyouka Suigetsu, the real Aizen (who'd hopefully be much more powerful than his illusion-created counterpart) is currently off creating the kings key while admiring Ichigo's new strength from a far. If things turned out like this, it'd negate a lot Ichigo's current feats of strength this chapter since his current opponents strength (the illusion) couldn't be gauged very effectively. So while we'd be left knowing for a fact that Ichigo got stronger, we'd still have no idea of how much stronger he and Aizen have become. Last edited by sayde; 2010-09-02 at 01:23. |

The chapter was good, but Aizen was very OOC, it's not like him to talk all the time, even more so when he talks without absolutes (i.e. I am god, kneel before me or perish into oblivion,etc. while in this chapter he was the commentator for the fight (although there's nobody else to do the talking besides Ichigo, so...)). P.S: I believe Aizen will be dying in his next power-up, would suit him fine. As for the next arc, I got no idea what it's going to be about, but with Aizen out of the picture it should be interesting. |

Darn, Ichigo sure showed some raw epicness this chapter.
I loved it. Quote:

"reduce all creation to ashes" - and that was a shikai...
i hate when powers become so unexplainably great they single hadnedly make everybody and everything useless. would have at least been nice for a close fight followed by hollow mode + aizen mask followed by lucky strike... but this is just way over the top. unless everybody is hiding some secret power or something, nobody can possibly match ichigo or aizen. maybe yamamoto, and all he ever did was sit around doing **** all, prior to the fighting.

Btw, I'm glad to be among those of you who didn't necessarily have to google "Agglutination", even though I did anyways. It turns out the definition I had predicted was spot on given the context of the conversation and the fact that the word "Agglutination" contains a syllable that looks and sounds suspiciously similar to the world "glue". I think I deserve a cookie nao. |

I'm wondering what the consequences of Ichigo's new sword abilities are. There have to be consequences. There's no way you get that much of a power up without having to sacrifice something in return.

I am expecting Ichigo to be ostracized after this. Aizen will either retreat or die. It doesn't really matter.
But Ichigo will eventually run into the rest of the other captains, Vizards, and his friends. I expect them all to be frightened/intimidated by his new power. Ultimately he will be avoided, and possibly labeled a threat in the future. Then again, his strength could very well be a temporary boost. Who knows. Quote:
The attempt to learn FGT can lead to personal harm; detachment from ones Zanpakuto, losing all your strength if you fail. (Isshin) or the power up is temporary. The FGT makes you use all/most of your power rapidly(including life energy?), leaving you in a fatigued state quickly. (like vizard masks) well any number of those ideas I think are...logi....good ideas.
