Just Manga

Last chapter we got high with our pals Aizen and Ichigo as we were all surprised by Ichigo’s newest transformation. He has apparently sold his Shinigami powers so that he can become super powerful in order to kick Aizen’s butt. But will this upgrade be enough to take Aizen down? Let’s see. 
  

The Good 

This new upgrade was surprisingly not just for show or a complicated way to turn his hair black, but the real deal. The attack was successful, dealing a fatal injury to Aizen. However, since Aizen can regenerate he didn’t parish right then and there, but he really did come close (as always ;_;). Regeneration does nothing when the enemy can just beat you down again, and this thought brought a smile to my face. But of course Ichigo looses his powers before he could attack again, and now is practically dead, silly me for keeping my hopes up.

Before Aizen could take out Ichigo he was shot in the back by some kind of Special Beam Cannon. But on closer inspection, this was actually a kido seal installed by our friend Urahara Kisuke! This was specially made to seal this newly transformed Aizen, and was placed on him during the middle of his transformation way back when. It only took control now because of Aizen’s weakened state. Basically like any sex craved ho, the Hougyoku is only attracted to the strong, and that isn’t Aizen anymore. With that Aizen is gone, disappearing in the middle of some crucifixes like an Evangelion angel.

The Bad
Thanks Urahara for showing up after Aizen was practically dead. What if Ichigo didn’t show up, would you have just stood their and watched as Aizen destroyed the town? Either way, I wish Ichigo’s bad ass form lasted more than two chapters. And we all know that if he has the opportunity to whip it out again, it isn’t going to be as effective--according to Shonen Jump law.

The Verdict 4/5 

Hell yeah Aizen is dead! Or sealed! Or Something! And we all know that once a bad guy gets sealed, he stays sealed... right? So is Aizen finally out of our hair, or is this just a big tease. Kubo would never tease us like this... right? I actually have no idea what will happen at this point. Bleach could end the next chapter for all I know, but I don’t believe the end is quite here yet. Till then I’ll assume Aizen is dead and drink like the Bears won the Super Bowl.

bah, this chapter was horrible, all that build up for nothing. Ichigo's transformation was completely useless (it only works for an 18th of a second? what kind of pointlessness is that?) and than kiskue shows the f up and story contrivances Aizen out of the picture. I'm guessing Kubo just wants bleach to end right now.

I wanted Ichigo to be the one to finish Aizen, but it's also fitting for Urahara to do so.

I was just disappointed that Ichigo's new form only lasted like 5 minutes. I'm not even sure what to make of the attack he used, was it just some enormous getsuga tenshou thing? I guess we'll have a better idea of exactly what happened when the anime version is made so it's easier to see, but that'll be months away.
 
Hopefully Aizen really is gone now, but right now I'm more interested in if Ichigo's powers really are gone for good or not. I still think there's a very good chance his dad used the same technique and that's how he lost his powers, and he got his back eventually, so with any luck Ichigo will just have to wait a little while I guess.

@CrazyCanuck: Yeah I thought about that, but wouldn't that end up making him even more all-powerful that he already was?... Maybe it will restore his powers, and then Urahara will destroy it or seal it away or something.

talk about anticlimactic  battle. 
 
screw you Kubo!
