Bleach 34

[Swee]

What's with the mask? I don't really get it? I guess Captain Aizen is killed by Ichimaru Gin.. Looks like Chad is being left out cos i think he only appeared like 1min for the last 5 episodes or so? haha... =D

[mage]

Ichigo still has the hollow mask from where he almost turned into a hollow.

if your a death god, then your dead, but you cant die again (if you do thats it for you, i think) because that would prove to be no punishment, to kill rukia for disobeying but then to have her reincarnate at SS again?

You reincarnate on earth first off, and second, why isn't it enough of a punishment? If they lose all their memories (this only makes sense) you have killed the person and simply made a newborn on earth. It's as much of a punishment as if the person didn't get reincarnated.

I have to agree with everyone else. Murder is definetly what happened, although to beleive Gin did it is a bit too obvious 'course its possible he orchestrated it. As for the mask im still curious how that happened, the thing shattered, perhaps if it does regen like some people say maybe thats not the only thing that didnt dissapear. As farfetched as it sounds perhaps he retains something else hollow ish. be it powers, abilities to sense certain things or etc. Even if weve never seen him display them before. I dont know im really throwing out an idea here.

That was some good shit, interesting to see focus on some other characters than Ichigo and company.
Aizen's death was unexpectedly gory, which is good. Hinamori's sadness with the whole thing was also very well done, you could really feel how she felt... that shocked expression of hers, and the zoom-in on her eyes. Also, it was very well done how she had a scene with him just before the kill to make all us viewers understand what a nice guy Aizen was. It made his death all the more sympathic.

Edit: Am I the only one who dislikes the way Gin talks in Lunar's subs? I just think it creates unnecessary complication to write it like that... I mean seriously, I can't picture him saying "Y'all".

Yea, I reallly had to sympathtize for Captain Aizen, He seems so cool. I still can't believe he died.

And yes, I really hate the way Gin talks in the Lunar subs.

Something about Aizen's death is fishy though. I mean, he looked like he knew what was up... and he had the whole "don't underestimate me" thing goin' on... what if he somehow faked his own death? (question remains how the fuck he succeeded in doing so considering how ehh.... dead he looked). Just a random thought. It struck me that Aizen, who seemed so very smart and confident, just went out and died a sunny morning...

remember theyve been making gigai's for a long time made for the physical world, maybe he figured out how to make a special gigai out of spiritons. but then it would have to be PREFECT or the coroner would pick up on it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

i liked aizen only because he was the only one that seemed to be standing up to gin. I was always thinking there'd be a big showdown between them except he had to die before we saw anything...*grumble*

and how do you know you lose your memories when you die as a spirit?

and for those who are thinking suicide, think WHY would he stick himself onto a building like that?

I would assume so since the normal people's souls do go back and forth from SS to earth and have been doing so for a very long time (how old was Rukia?). If they kept their memory then wouldn't everyone on earth remember their past life/lives?

[Mae]

Dammit! Aizen was my favorite of the Shinigami. And the best looking by far. His death adds some nice intrigue to the plot, but couldn't they have killed off someone else?

[kyubisrage]

Didnt bother reading everything. but is this is a filler? I think it isnt but since 33 was I thought this one would be too.

[Tiger of The wind]

i liked episode 34 it was great and i cant wait to find out what happens next

rukia was 10x ichigo's age and ichigo should be around 15-16 so rukia is around 150-160? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

[Board of Command]

I don't think it's Gin, I think it's Kuchiki. Remember, Kuchiki wanted to discharge Renji, and Aizen led the opposition against that. Kuchiki might have been secretly watching the fight between Renji and Ichigo and saw Renji's intentions. Kuchiki was also the one that decided on Rukia's punishments. It seems like he's got his own agenda, like Gin. Aizen might have been onto him as well, so he took him out.

It's just way too obvious to be Gin, so there's gotta be a twist somewhere.

[Swee]

Kuchiki sounds logical.. however.. the peeping of the fight between Renji and Ichigo is a bit too unexpected.. If Kuchiki did watched the fight, why dont he just go ahead and kill Ichigo since he is so strong? and if Kuchiki did watch the fight and know what Renji is up to, then kill them both as well as Ganju and the other medical team Shinigami on the spot, making it seems like they were killed one another.. and everything is done.. so i dont think Kuchiki secretly watched the fight between Renji and Ichigo..

although Gin is the most obvious murderer, and u people are expecting a twist, perhaps the author wants you people to think that way and in the end Gin is really the murderer.. thats the twist i'll be expecting.. haha.. =D

[elmojo]

um... there was a sword in aizen, its propably a soul slayer

wouldnt that tell who did it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

i think gin might be working for kuchiki as his right hand

um the sword that was in Aizen was his own sword, so since its his theres no telling who could've done it, but Im betting on Gin just because anyone that smiles that much has to be evil

[Roko]

it's just too suspicious, they're giving us sooo many clues that its Gin, that I'm starting to doubt that it is. It would be a great twist if it was someone like kuchiki.

[ChaosK]

you know, there IS technology because we've seen in the real world ichigo has a TV and all that, so couldnt they finger print it? (by it i mean the soul slayer inside aizen's body)

kuchiki sounds like a logical choice but perhaps hes working with Gin, wouldnt that make everything interesting?

SPOILERS from episode 26 or so


First, in regards to the Hollow mask forming UNDER Ichigo's robes... I also thought it was weird that after Ichigo didn't become a Hollow that the mask was still on his face. He had to remove it with his hand, but the rest of it sort of stuck to him. Uruhara had to knock the piece off his shoulder. I believe it is some weird kind of defense mechanism that only Ichigo has because he is the reincarnation of "Him", whoever Cpt. Kuchiki was referring to.... surely will be explained later. I'm thinking "Under World" kind of thing, where the cross between Shinigami and Hollow is the super-strongest anyone can be, and somehow Ichigo is just that. That mask was fully formed and it seems unlikely he would have kept it under his robesthat whole time... Gaaraesque protection...

As for Aizen's death. I do like Terra's idea of him killing himself, or letting himself die. I smell a coup brewing in SS... Somehow I bet Kuchiki is up to something, wants to purify it so all nobles are in charge or something Hitlerish. Gin doesn't seem smart enough to plan something of that magnitude....

Oh, and I originally thought that since Aizen got pinned to that tower so high up it had to be from Gin's spear thrust technique... But if it was his own sword he was impaled on... Hmm... Eyes still open... arms limp.... seems to be a biggish hole right in his waist slightly below the impaling swor-

WAIT...
WAIT WAIT WAIT....

There is a sword straight through him, but there also appears to be one sticking out from beneath his robe... I can't take pics from video, but I swear there is are two swords. Looks like not only did he not kill himself, but he had no chance to unsheath his sword even... Killed by a quick attacker (Kuchiki?) or by an ally that he wouldn't have expected it from? (not Gin)

The way he is pinned high up there screams Gin did it with his spear... but that's so obvious... and Aizen would have been ready for Gin... Gin looks like the scapegoat, I'll bet it was Kuchiki...

[masamuneehs]

Oh, I also just noticed that if you pause it right in the second AFTER the frame I was talking about, so you can see most of the tower and the blood streak.... The blood is splattered all around the top of that tower, like it got flung there by the body's impact hitting the stone (long distance attack) or Aizen got stabbed right up into it or was right in front of that spot when he got stabbed. So, unless the animators were just sloppy and I'm a forensics genius too good for anime, the kill was made by that sword there, was a surprise attack or an ally's betrayal and highly suggests a long range piercing attack.... The kill almost surely wasn't made anywhere else, and the body probably just left where the kill was made. I had originally suspected the body was put there as a message.... but it seems that the high spot was unintentional...

Oh Gin.... If it wasn't him, then OJ is truly innocent as well! All signs pount to that smiley bastard, gotta retract my earlier guess that it was Kuchiki... but i'll still bet he was in on it...

Oh, and the exact times on the Lunar sub to see these things are 21:19 (21minutes, 19 seconds), the frame by frame shot from Aizen's eyes to face to body to entire scene.

CSI eat your heart out!
