Bleach: Derailed

... nah, he's still a betraying murderous dickbag, it's just that he was aiming that at equally despicable colossal bags of dicks, who'd been at it longer. Soul Society for all its flaws fulfills a necessary purpose in keeping Hollows under control and managing the souls of the dead until they reincarnate.
^^This. IMO, SS deserves to be torn down. But Aizen isn't really someone you want to take the reigns afterwards.
 
Yeah, when you're trying to fix a problem, you should make sure your solution isn't just as bad, or even worse.

As far as existing factions go, there really aren't any great choices. You're either working for--or at least supporting in some fashion--colossal assholes, or slightly less blatantly colossal assholes. Really, sad as it is, fucking off and becoming a hermit is probably the best path available.
 
I'm curious about something and I can't find the answer in the wikia. Plus I didn't rad the last 100 or so chapters of bleach.
If hollow can gain the powers of a shinigami by removing it's mask, doesn't that mean that Shinigami powers are just imitations of hollow powers?
Since, logically speaking, Hollows should precede Soul Society and the existance of Shinigami.

Remember that zanpakuto are (partly) made from hollows. Remember those hollowlike creatures ichigo had to face for zangetsu's reforging? Think on that.

I read some summed up spoilers on the bleach reddit. I'm even more... soft wat. I'm just gonna go to sleep.

Fucking Kubo man.

A necessary evil is still evil though yes Aizen is bad but I said that it 'doesn't seem so bad' not that it was good, Aizen still is a shit
 
You know that explains Ichibis sadism really well, he's actually evil. So Ichibe, hotsprings, tailor, and Oetsu are Immortal? Did the other members of Zero squad get any focused? Do they explain what would have happened if evil Jesus won?

Technically, yes. The swords the shinigami use are made of mindless hollows in the base form, and any powers they have on top of that come from within themselves and use the hollow blade as a conduit.
Wait, what? I thought it was Shinigami souls.
The only thing really making a shinigami different from a normal soul is the bond they have with the blade, IIRC. The first blade was probably made with the souls of some people who only had the title because it was their job.

Well, that's a bit WTF inducing, to say the least...


Might be a good thing that most people don't know about this, or the AIZEN WAS RIGHT crowd would be even more insufferable :V

(and what's sad, is that Aizen was right. In general terms. Something does need to change there, and a rebellion may well be the only way to get it through some heads. But on the other hand, the way that Aizen went about doing it is hardly better. Aizen is still a dick after all. And he probably would have died against the Royal Guard, since he doesn't have Ywach's LOL NOPE powers. All it takes is Sadistic Monk removing Kyoka's name or making Aizen a bug and...yeah.

Even if he didn't die, we're still talking a murderous asshole who freely tosses aside his own servants and soldiers the moment they're not useful. Kills them himself too!

To use another fandom...Aizen is right in the way Char is right. The Royal Guard is bad. The Zabis (well, some of them) were bad. But the way Aizen and A THE CHAR went about dealing with them (or trying to) was pretty dickish.)


Seriously though. W.T.F. And the Five Families? Should one expect this information is buried somewhere in the Kuchiki or Shiba archives then? Or even more disturbing what does Byakuya know?

Thats completely false, the swords Shinigami use are made out of other Shinigami, no hollows involved.

From the Wiki

Creation
Ōetsu Nimaiya invented the Asauchi that have the potential of becoming Shinigami Zanpakutō. He forges them using a method that melds a multitude of Shinigami souls together. Ironically a similar method was used by Sōsuke Aizen in his creation of his experimental hollow White.[35]
 
Erm... most shinigami have a sword, so it seems kind of silly that they'd make the swords from *shinigami* souls... how many new recruits would they have to kill to make new ones, lol?

They are melded into hollow-like beings. Like, they have masks. With mouths for eyes. They're spooky.

That begs the question- Are 'Shinigami' only the trained soldiers of soul society, or does the soul of a slum-dweller in the districts below still count as a 'Shinigami' soul?
