Shadowlyger posted:I kinda figured the guy capable of making illusions may have been blocking them from hearing him until that moment. I think its actually directly stated that Ichigo was trying to contact them. I also assumed he didn't want to get involved because then he'd also be under Aizen's hynposis.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:there was no particular reason why ichigo didn't have those things. there were a lot of issues he could have cared deeply about, causes he could have taken up, vendettas to pursue. but nah, instead we got a dude with the memory of a goldfish who only reacted to whatever was happening right in front of him. Ichigo is probably a better dad than Goku, though.

TheHan posted:You could maybe excuse it the first time he did it since he didn’t think Aizen was so OP that he could reverse all his muscle memory on the fly, but that Shinji did it AGAIN against the bomb Sternritter was inexcusable. To be fair, reversing the directions against the girl that can nuke in every direction at once wouldn't have made him any good. The only way Shinji's power would have been useful is if he moved in for the kill immediately before the girl realised what was going on and decided to nuke every direction. But that's not how shonen works

shinjis bankai would have been more useful because that would have given her more targets to blow up instead of him.

His bankai kinda sucks unless he's on his own vs multiple opponents. Any other scenario and it either does nothing or forces him to fight his allies instead.

He just woulda explained how it works anyways and the sternritter would’ve realized they just have to attack the people they see as friends.

RealFoxy posted:The most unintentionally funny part of Bleach was when all the captains took turns stabbing Momo and he just stood at the side in shock that the bad guy who uses illusions was tricking people into stabbing some harmless girl instead of trying to stop it as both one of the fastest and physically strongest people in the story at that point. Nevermind that I had to check who Momo was because I confused her with Nemu, when did that happen? I recall Momo getting stabbed often but not this particular situation

That trailer reminded me about how Nina’s out of nowhere speech about magic sounded like complete gibberish, was that supposed to be a joke or unironically cool.

I remember it from the manga because it's Momo who effectively gets stabbed by Aizen again. It's bleakly hilarious.

I had always assumed it all happened in an instant, after all, it was meant to catch even Aizen off-guard. Still, it was pretty hilarious. Also, Kyoraku is supposed to be the new Commander-General, but he get so easily taken out, lol.

The sequence is cool but doesn't make sense. In the manga Soi Fon uses her 2 hit kill attack on Aizen but the 2nd hit doesn't land because SPIRIT PRESSURE. But then it turns out it was Momo the whole time. In the anime they kinda fixed it by having MomoAizen grab Soifon's arm and stop her before she can get the 2nd hit in...while keeping the whole SPIRIT PRESSURE mumbo jumbo speech intact

It made his power seem really scary because you could never be sure when you're suddenly killing an ally, in addition to all the other bullshit it could do. Then of course in the final Ichigo v Aizen battle was just a dumb

you know it would have been way cooler if aizen had just no sold soifons poison by using reiatsu to keep the blade from actually penetrating him or something.

The scene doesn’t require it to be Momo they’re fighting the whole time, personally I figured Aizen swapped her in when Toshiro stepped up to fight him.

really aizen should have had a power that was a lot more limited and situational and a lot less OP.

it's very clear that kubo couldn't think of a plausible way for ichigo to beat aizen. the manga tried a few times to hype up ichigo as being the only one who could fight aizen for some reason or another, but that was never actually true. even when aizen abandoned his functionally invincible illusions to become a beautiful butterfly ichigo still couldn't beat him. however, it actually made sense that the only person aizen was wary of was yamamoto. a wide area indiscriminate attack with sufficient oomph from someone who didn't particularly care if they killed all their allies was a hard counter for illusions.

It would have made perfect sense if Kubo had kept the really early stuff about Ichigo being a prodigy at detecting reiatsu instead of going "shonen protagonist, therefore must be dumb and insensitive."

Ostensibly, Ichigo's advantage is that he had never seen Aizen release his shikai, so he wasn't affected by Aizen's absolute sensory manipulation. My problem with that is that...what was stopping Aizen from just deactivating his shikai and then reactivating it again with Ichigo in the vicinity???

I liked how the entire Hueco Muendo thing was a giant ruse set up for no other reason than to be a gauntlet for Ichigo to power up on, and to trap Kenpatchi. Because I guess Aizen was aware of Kenpatchi's deal and was wary of fighting him? Which makes no sense for a number of reasons, the foremost being perfect illusions which could have had Kenpatchi fighting a brick wall - or hell, the other captains - while Aizen laughed from the sidelines.

Absolute Hypnosis only worked on people who watched and listened to the entire release ritual. It had a long enough incantation to make the other Captains think Aizen was showing them his full bankai.

Aizen knew he didn’t stand a chance against captains so popular. The sole exception was Hitsugaya, who couldn’t win a fight against water in a snowstorm.

So you'd think there'd at least be a handful of people who saw everybody freaking out of Aizen's "body" and gone "uh guys what is everybody's problem, there's literally nothing there?" or at least one person who might have gone up to Shinji and asked him what the gently caress was up with the weird bald guy he's had following him for a month, and where Vice Captain Aizen went?

Oh well ... Aizen taught the classes at the shinigami academy, and was very insistent that he be the one to show off how a bankai works, and they let him do it since he's such a kind and helpful teacher

Remembering how funny the Ichigo v Aizen fight was when Ichigo went "Actually, that was me creating mountains from the shockwaves, not you" or some poo poo like that.
