Yeah but when your villain just turns into a monster outright, you might as well skip any pretenses and just say, "Yeah, the good guy wins. The End. See you guys in a couple weeks, when the new arc starts."

>It's his obvious final form
Actually, as much as I wish it was, Bleach has mostly followed the Bishonen Line; the bad guy who changes get more horrific but then more humanoid, or the most powerful ones among monsters are humanoid.

Look at the regular hollows, then the Menos, then the Adjuchas, and how Vasto Lordes have been described.

Hell, look at the Arrancar and Espada releases: as they go up in rank you go: Cthulhu, squidman, an man in a giant pumpkin eyeball covered in eyeballs, a manther, Shiva, bat-winged humanoid, a woman wearing a battle bikini with a water cannon attached to her arm, a skeleton, and a guy with an eyepatch, a pair of guns, and fur on his clothes.

Yammy's release is really the only thing that goes against this.

You can even look at Ichigo's hollow form: the first time he went Hollow it looked like a salamander man, but his stronger form was a dude with ram horns and exposed teeth.

It's weird cause I don't remember the early parts of Bleach being this... lazily done. Maybe it was because I watched the anime instead of reading the manga, but more thought seemed to be in it when it first started.

No.49393
I seriously doubt Kubo intends to end Bleach.

Why? Because, already admittedly depressed after nothing but rejection and failed pilots leading up to Bleach's surprise success, he has nothing else to fall back on. The series is profitable, he has no assistants or friends within the industry, and he'd be essentially out of a job were he to end it all now. I wouldn't put it past him to simply continue the story after Aizen's defeat.

No.49395
>>49384
His panels aren't like that now because he's lazy (it's not like a smaller number of larger objects are easily to draw),they're like that because he's given excessive detail and attention to physical actions for the sake of spectacle. It's a stylistic thing which he's just really overdoing.

It's a trend that was actually pretty popular in Western comic about a decade ago, but started going out of popularity because of a lot of people overdid it resulting in complaints about the inability to tell a story which takes less than a full trade book (pretty much the same thing people complain about Kubo doing).

>>49393
>I wouldn't put it past him to simply continue the story after Aizen's defeat.

I'd be OK with this. Christ, I would hate Aizen dying to end the whole series, because that just proves Kubo was just using him as a crutch to keep the series from ending (like Naraku).

No.49396
>>49395

Bleach has always been fairly decompressed. There's nothing wrong with decompression, it's a perfectly valid storytelling device and it used to work pretty well for it.

For several years now, though, it's changed from being a storytelling choice into an excuse for him to only draw about half as many panels as he should be.

>>There's nothing wrong with decompression, it's a perfectly valid storytelling device
Wrong! Wrong, you asshole! Wrong! It's the tension between lulls and action in stories that make them good! The proper balance between the two is important and decompression upsets the balance, just like a story comprised entirely of action sequences would!

No.49411
>>49406

I didn't say Decompression worked all the time. Decompress everything and you have a Bendis comic or current Bleach and nobody wins.

That doesn't mean it can't be used as a valid storytelling device! Compression and Decompression are both useful in different ways. Some comics lean more heavily towards one than the other, and that's fine, so long as it fits the kind of story that's being told and the writing is good enough to support it. It's not actually synonymous with 'shitty lazy drawn-out pacing', no matter what the impression that reading Bendis comics leaves you with.

Honestly, at this point, I just miss when Bleach was funny, in addition to well paced fights.

Like, in between "holy shit fuckin hollows man", we'd get crazy shit like Orihime going on an insane picnic-turned-boxing daydream, or the quirky Shinigami flunkies in the Soul Society arc.
Last time we had anything close to that was, well, Nel and friends. And I get the sneaking suspicion that's not going to happen again for a while.

I'm honestly OK with it , since I really can't imagine anything else to do that wouldn't just be padding. And who am I kidding, this probably isn't the end of the battle, and definitely isn't the end of Aizen.

No.49893
Now I know its been 400 chapters since the beginning... but didn't Ichigo get his powers from Rukia giving him her powers?
I'm sure another good stab to the chest by a shinigami will give his powers back

Well, it gave him the power he had then. Once he lost Rukia's power Urahara had to force him to get his own.

It may very well have made him incapable of getting soul reaper power in any manner.

Though I'm saddened by a lot of what Aizen's been doing and acting for the past while, I at least still admire his last words. I'm hoping that once we get some backstory, he'll be the stand-up guy I always knew him to be.

Or something like that anyway.

Of course I have! I just don't think Aizen's a bad a guy as everyone's making him out to be. He obviously wants to change things in Soul Society; perhaps, I suspect, for the better. Maybe even for the Hollows.

So I'm putting a bet down that he'll have some good-guyish backstory. And I won't BAWW or whine over it like it seems a lot of you are going to. The only thing I'm disappointed in was that he didn't stay cool and suave right to the end, like the classy man I wanted him to be.

Soo.. the whole god complex, secretly experimenting on innocents, manipulating people all over the goddamn place, straight up declairing he was going to eat Ichigo, killing Soul society's government as part of his plan to kill Rukia and take the pebble of doom inside her, and assorted other things were just a reflection of his inner nobility as he heroically tried to change soul society for the better?

Pretty much, yeah. Are you going to deny that the status quo in Soul Society sucks? That the Central 46 were assholes of the highest calibre? And lets not ignore all those times where Aizen just flat-out didn't kill people when it would have been his benefit to do so (or at least no more trouble than it would have been to do so).

Obviously, he's a bad guy. But does that mean his intentions, or his end-game, wasn't some brutal Bolshevik revolution type-deal, where the ends justify the means? No it doesn't.

So shut yer mouf and SIDDOWN, ya know-nuthin' PUNK! And we'll just see how it goes, shall we?

Or it could be that he really is the megalomaniac he presents himself as, and really does just want to be more powerful than everyone. Just because he's pretty doesn't mean he's secretly a good guy, even if you really want him to be. Now let's just let it go and see how badly Kubo fucks things up, ok?

Tiki's right, his deathrant suggests pretty strongly that Kubo's going to go for a FOR THE GREATER GOOD thing.

That doesn't mean it won't be retarded - it probably will. And it doesn't mean that I care. Maybe I would if this wasn't the very first time we heard that the Spirit King was secretly a douche. Probably not, though.

> I still doubt Aizen's intentions were at all altruistic.

Especially since, even you're an "ends justify the means" type person. That still doesn't mean you go completely out of your way to be the biggest douche you can possibly be to achieve those ends.

Such as luring a young girl to fall in love with you to help out with your plans then stabbing her while wearing a big douche-tastic smile just to rub in how much you destroyed every aspect of her world.
...then later creating an illusion in which you make the other people who care about her stab her damn near to death again!

No, sorry, there really is no justifying Aziens actions. Maybe if he'd gone about it differently, then yeah, I could maybe see all this as him striving for the "greater good". But with everything we've seen of Aizen, I think it's pretty obvious that his plan to replace the Spirit King (if that was what he was planning, I'm not even sure anymore) was completely motivated by his own lust for power and had nothing to do with trying to help Soul Society.

I'm pretty sure that Aizen actually did have good intentions... like two hundred years ago.
However, he was too willing to compromise, too in love with his own perfection and power that he lost his way.
I do believe that the fact that not a single shinigami (besides Tousen) has been confirmed to be dead is deliberate on his part. Aizen probably believes he's doing the soul society a favor, and that they'll see things his way.
...The Arrancar, however, were nothing but scapegoats, something for the shinigami to rally against. Aizen probably saw it as his duty as a shinigami to arrange their demise, especially if he only saw them as hollows, abominations to be purified.
...His biggest mistake was relying on the Hougyouku instead of Kyouka Suigetsu. It turned him into a monster instead of a god, and then it just went and turned on him. Aizen ended up being so deluded that he believed that his Zanpaktou dissolving meant he was becoming more powerful, instead of it meaning he was as near death as the Hougyouku would allow him to be.
...Maybe when he's sealed he'll have a chance to reexamine his life and ask 'where did I go wrong?' but I doubt his arrogance will allow him to do so.

No.49953
No. It'll just turn out that Aizen basically cast this grand illusion on himself of being this Machiavellian architect for greater change, losing his need for his glasses or other physical and mental imperfections and becoming essentially a transcended god of brilliance and perfect reason in his head and his actions. The more he believed in this the darker and more sadistic he became. When he lost all that confidence folds and he becomes a scared little boy who needs to cast small shades of his better world to not kill himself in the seal.

I think he just...really lost it when he finally got 'dat Hoogykoo. Drunk on power; THAT close to doing what he wanted to do. I know the feeling well. You make mistakes. You go a bit crazy.

Not to say that he isn't a cunt or anything. But just because he is doesn't mean that he couldn't have ideals. Way back until recently, I'd even pondered on whether all of his actions were just to make everyone hate him and that all the actions they took to stop him were the actual actions he wanted to achieve. Would've been nice if that were the case, but alas...

No.49962

Did you also kill people without any remorse before that? Why do you want Aizen to be redeemed by some greater cause he didn't give a shit about ever explaining or putting into place before?

No.49964
>>49962

I think you're stretching my motives here a bit. I simply believe it'd be a better story for it. Besides, in his own dickish, warped way, Aizen has shown 'compassion', if not remorse. LOSERS feel remorse for not winning, afterall. Compassion, however, is revealed when he argues with Yamamoto over his treatment of Wonderweiss, and indeed, the reason given for him stabbing his VC was also compassion-based (though I'm more certain he was saying and doing most of that to piss Hitsu off).

Before I make any final judgements on the matter though, I want to see if Halibel is still alive. That'll get me one way or the other on the matter.

One thing I have yet to fathom though is his reaction when Ichigo comes out super-strong, when that's exactly what Aizen intended happen when destroying the soul-train. Shit's illogical, even in the event Aizen didn't think he'd get THAT strong.

In my head I wanna compare Aizen to Roah, someone evil to the core and willing to do whatever it takes to get his way, however not without good intentions and even the occasional kind act to see justice done and even a hero to some ignorant of his ways........but the more I think about it, the more I realize Aizen is just a weenie.
