Haven't seen the episode yet, but you anime-only guys gotta agree... this is some mind-blowing shit!
Personally, when I read this in the manga, that was the point where my Bleach fandom was eternally sealed. AWESOME twist. Aizen is indeed one of the best villains I've seen.
Man, and I thought I hated Tousen before. Now he's a shitbag as well as being annoying!
Bud is saying Ichigo's Bankai because theres that shot in the preview where one blade is being parried by that black blade, which is so far only Ichigo's.
I think we're gonna have to see Hollow Ichigo again because how else is he gonna beat Aizen Gin and Tousen all at once.
We need to get an Ichigo/Hitsugaya/Kenpachi vs. Aizen/Gin/Tousen battle royal going up here on the execution grounds!
"Admiration is the furthest thing from understanding."
Man, that's good shit.
It was Urahara in the preview, or am I seeing things? So what I'm thinking is that the black blade could have belonged to him since he got his bankai the same way Ichigo did, there might be some connection.Originally posted by: DarthEnder

There are still alot of people that we don't know what they are up to, and that might join the big fight.
Genryuusai/Ukitake/Shunsui (and Nanao-chan)
Yoruichi/Soi Fong
Mayuri is still alive (wonder if he's one of the bad guys)
Byakuya is obviously still alive though we don't know what his condition is
Yachiru (which hasn't "taken care of the strong guys" yet)
Renji (wonder if he is still able to fight)
Sajin (Fox-man)
There are also alot of minor characters left
Hisagi (mr. 69), bald-guy, pretty-boy, sunglasses-man, 1st vice captain person, the fat 2nd vice captain
Edit: I watched the preview again and it is without a doubt Urahara.
The scene of Urahara in his captains robes seems to be a flashback, since he isnt' a captain. The scene of Ichigo's Bankai crossing with another sword at the execution grounds (after seeing Ichigo lying behind Aizen who is holding on to Rukia) is without a doubt Ichigo.

Now that I've recovered from the shock of this episode...Wow, I have to say it was really well done. Hitsugaya's Bankai was so cool. To me, it doesn't matter that he got his ass kicked by Aizen because Aizen is obviously the insanely strong bad guy that only Ichigo can defeat. Tite chose a good way to show off Aizen's power by having him fight such a badass Bankai, and I'm glad he didn't kill off Hitsugaya (at least I hope not...). I hate that HInamori died, and Hitsugaya had to discover it like that (was that flash step he used? XD), but I'm glad she died happy, being able to see Aizen again.
I'm disappointed that Tousen is a baddy, but it was an awesome twist. I wonder how many others are in cahoots with Aizen and Gin.
Oh, and about Aizen's soul slayer's power. Can anyone who has read a better translation explain it a little more clearly? I think Dattebayo made a bad choice in using the word "release" too many times - as it could be refering to how Aizen released his Zanpakuto (into it's Shikai/Bankai form) or released as in "dropped the illusion" (released those being affected by it). So, how exactly does it all work?? What I'm getting is that anyone who sees his soul slayer basically sees whatever they want him to see until it is..."released"
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Maybe he still is a captain and the whole outcast thing was a ploy to counter Aizen's plans. Urahara might have been "cast out" in order to be able to locate "the chosen one" i.e. Ichigo. I don't think they would put Urahara in the preview if he was only going to appear in a flashback... or would they? Urahara looks a little like Aizen though, maybe that's why he will show up in the next ep. I think that Urahara and Yourichi will have a big role in what is about to unfold.Originally posted by: XanBcoo

To everyone that say this is the best plot twist ever, I suggest you watch the latest One Piece arc. I sure hope there is more to this twist, 'cause so far it has been kind of rudimentary. The execution of the twist was awesomely done but the content wasn't really that mind-blowing.

About Aizen's Bankai.
Very simple really. Once you've laid your eyes on it, Aizen can make you believe whatever he wants you to believe. It fools all five senses.
So Aizens shows almost everyone, Captains included, his shikai before. Once they've seen the shikai, all Aizen needs to do is show the sword and EVERYONE who SEES the sword is trapped in an illusion.
Think of Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan. Once he looks into your eye with that technique, you are trapped in his realm where he controls the universe and surroundings. Same principle as Aizen's Shikai except that the Shikai doesn't really alter your surroundings, it merely makes you see whatever Aizen wants you to believe.
By the way, does it occur to anyone how odd that Aizen and Gin left Captain Unohana alone whereas Aizen killed Hitsugaya off? Does this mean that Unohana is actually much much stronger than Aizen? I mean, there's only Unohana and her Vice Captain of the 4th Squad, the so called weakest squad of the Gotei 13 and Aizen RUNS from Unohana after baring the whole truth to her.
Me thinks Aizen is afraid of Unohana taichou. Guess it would makes sense since doctors would be the most deadly killers.
Despite me hating Hinamori, it was a stab to the heart (for Hinamori literally) to see her get skewered by her greatest role model. And that bloody Aizen was smiling all the way. Poxy son of a whore. However bimboish she was, nobody deserves to be btrayed like that.
Curse Aizen, Gin and that stuck-up Tosen as well. You know, the animators really did Aizen's face well. From the point Aizen stabbed Hinamori, his eyes just look.... empty. Devoid of emotion. His smile is so empty, its creepy. Its not the mad scientist look, its just.... something else. If I were to describe it, I would say... TRUE EVIL. Its like this guy in Babylon 5, Mr. Morden who always smiles but brings death and destruction to the galaxy.
Somehow I doubt Ichigo can defeat Aizen. He barely got through Byakuya and can anyone think of a way of countering Aizen's shikai?
Actually, all you need is to blind yourself, which is something Ichigo has not trained himself to do. If you can't see the Shikai, it won't work on you. That's why it doesn't work on Tosen and Tosen is acting on his own free will.
I would say that just about anything goes in the the world of bleach now. And also that's easy for you too say since you have read the manga. It isn't really that difficult for someone who already knows what is going to happen to dismiss a theory. Saying what is not going to happen is just as bad as saying what is going happen, so you might want to stop with that habit, Bud. But I guess my theory might bee a little too good to be in bleach.Originally posted by: Budweineken

If you don't like that one what about this then, Urahara is actually the mastermind behind everything. He went to the real world to find "the chosen one" (Ichigo) so he could send him to SS and bring the place down. Rukia is his subortinate and it was all planned that she would give Ichigo her shinigami powers. So actually Urahara and Rukia are manipulating Aizen... and they're married, but that's ok 'cause they're "open minded". Also Yourichi is on it since she is helping Ichigo all the time.
There was no Ichigo in the Preview, but a black sword was shown.
And there teleported to the execution ground where Ichigo should be still lying around with Inoue sitting crying next to him.
So its obvious that ichigo goes bankai again [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Well I hope Hinamori is dead, I cant stand her...
Das Licht am Ende des Tunnels könnte auch ein entgegenkommender Zug sein.
Call me twisted if you will, but I was laughing hard at how Hinamori got owned.
Almost everything makes sense to me now, except two things. How and why is Aizen gonna take down SS?
And Tousen WTF? WTF WTFW WTFTWFWTFWT!F!?!!?
