I don't get the joke. Aren't we killing him to get his ashes later, anyway?

I see clear advancement opportunities!
We get called on for missions, then become a Fraccion, then beat that ass when he tries to eat us, THEN ASK ULQUIORRA SAMA IF WE CAN JOIN HIM YEEEEEEE
Plus, for all the talk of Dark Souls, we won't choose the Aldrich lookalike?

Aldrich is what Aaroniero would be like if the fucker got off his ass and worked his way into a top espada position. As the guy he is now the comparison is a freaking insult to Aldrich.
Eh serving Mister 'I don't give a fuck' would give us alot of freedom but I don't really see him wanting a Fraccion or protecting us if we needed it. Barragan would be more interesting IMO, and Espada position is also possible, but that would give us way to much attention from SS I think from the get go.

We'll only choose the Aldrich lookalike when we're searching for a target. He blob-monstered Gwyndolin.

Dankest lore sas that this is objectively a good thing that Aldrich did, all dark souls gods were selfish evil bastards.

... If he was, and Aldrich ate him...
But muh Darkmoon. / Nameless King was cool, though, you've got to admit.
I wonder if equipment will serve more of a role in this quest, as opposed to other bleach quests. We see a lot of cool technology, but nobody very strong ever uses it. Just that little dimensional cube thingy that punts people into prison dimensions for a bit would be great to have. Or, hey, poison. We slip in all sneaky like, we poison somebody, we slip out. No need to have to fight Mr. Nukesforhands McMurderGod in honorable combat.

Because you always start with the fetch-quest from a king. Its, you know, traditional.

But then we don't get to see their sheer despair knowing they lost fair and square to us.

How about the sheer despair of dying a meaningless death at the whim of a superior being?

Or we could just take pleasure in that particular encounter being over? I mean, I'm pretty sure that reclining in our chair with a ghost puppy to stroke would be more satisfying than their despair.

@Omicron has fallen into the twisted incentives offered by running an indulgent quest in a popular intellectual property, as opposed to an original quest.
That is to say, he's like-farming. The tags reference people running other, at present larger, like-farms.

[X]Aaroniero Arruruerie, the cannibal Gillian, who wants you to hunt down a Hollow of particular interest to him.
Aaroniero always interested me. The dude never really got a fair shake, what with his "limitless potential" boiling down to "one sword-breaking power, one communication power, and eight million tentacles", and his gimmick of convincing Rukia he was actually Kaien was a reasonably smart move, and certainly more manipulative than anything we saw out of the other Espada. Plus his design was neat.
On an IC level, him having no Fraccion means we're far more likely to be able to advance under him. Barragan, simply put, will not notice us. The guy has a raft of powerful followers, and the last time he had any excess he seriously considered splitting them in two and having them kill each other for his amusement. Syazel is a special kind of monster, and we'd do best to avoid him for as long as possible. Aaroniero is dangerous, yes, but so are all arrancar. Tying our fate to that of a smart, ambitious coward with no other subordinates to rely on seems like an obvious choice, to me.
That, and his mission obviously involves finding a Hollow with a power he wants to absorb for himself. "Hollow bounty hunter" is a neat little job description that should get us out and about a lot - you know, away from all the far-more-powerful psychopaths littering Las Noches.

Or he could...I dunno....eat us for our interesting power. Like he did his last Fraccion.

I like the argument from an out-of-character perspective, but I am curious as to what you think this implies in-character for her motivations, fears etc.
