Kubos got so splainin to do about this Kaien, lets not jump to conclusions, just wait a few more days.
I dont think its Kaien at all tho. Just looks like him.
Personally, Bleach has always been on the edge. Imo, it is the definiton of generic in the shounen genre. Also no, you cannot see any evidence whatsoever that Aizen was evil. If someone had predicted that and gave proof, we would have flammed him for the ludicrous idea. but when kubo does it its genius? Surprising yes, genius, not at all. He just wrote in a god modded ability.
and what I mean by ichigo's dad having children is that he was a spirit. I dont think spirits can reproduce. Rukia already stated Gigai's cant reproduce, so the question is, how the hell did he have kids.
I swear, bleach has more plotholes than dragonball sometimes.
I liked the byakuya fight simply because I like bankai. Fast moving physical(sword) combat is my favorite in series. While energy beam vollying is my least favorite(Im lookin at you chad).
So yea, imo, Bleach would be alot better without this arc. It was really picking up with character interactions and characterization of different characters, but all that interesting stuff seems to have been put on pause by pointless fights a futile attempts at a rescue(only way they are getting her back is if Aizen gives her back. Unless theres another crazy unforeseable twist. sigh)
