SPOILERS!!!!
HOLY SHIT! AIZEN'S ALIVE!!!!!
This has thrown all my theories out the window for BLEACH. I mean, bringing back a character thought dead is not something new, but I never thought Kubo would do it. Now we have to deal with the fact that it's Aizen pulling the strings behind all the conspiracies with Gin as a (apparently) loyal follower. POOR HINAMORI!!!!
Oh, and Rangiku's shikai sword form is cool. "Growl. Haineko."
Wow, I wasn't expecting that. What a jerk.
I just hope they go back to the Yamamato vs. Shunsui and Jyuushiro fight soon.
And I also want to see Kenpachi bust some more heads.
There's a part of me that isn't surprised about Aizen being alive. I mean, first of all there was something wrong with the way he died. His death was just too dramatic. He's a captain and supposed to have at least SOME strength, but there weren't any signs of an actual battle.
What really made me suspicious though, was that letter to Hinamori. It was never truly explained, just some vague "perhaps it was forged" theory. When writers get vague, they usually have something up their sleeve.^^
But what Gin and Aizen are up to ….....?
And poor poor Hinamori. 
169 really caught me off guard. I didn't expect Aizen to be evil. Sigh, I guess that means we have to spend another 3841284 volumes in Soul Society…?
Hinamori
Heh, I figgered this was going to happen months ago, Ichimaru was just too obvious to be the real mastermind. Then the last chapter pretty much left all the clues. Still, I had thought before that whatever they were up to, it'd be something bad for Soul Society but good in general, ultimately. However, people that want to do good things don't kill Hinamori. My personal prediction at the moment is that Hitsugaya will rescue her, and they'll both go back to tell everyone what's happened, but Matsumoto will probably get recruited by the bad guys.
Also, the preview bubble mentions color pages next week, and says something about running two chapters, though that may just mean that next week's Jump is a double issue. Anyone want to clarify?
Don't forget about Unohana who's on her way "somewhere." She may show up and heal Hinamori with Miazuki.
Heh heh… now they can be hot and evil together. Rar!
I KNOW!
I trusted you, Aizen! How could you, how could you do that?!
That poor darling Hinamori!!! I was speechless for about ten minutes after seeing Aizen alive again.
When he "died" the first time around, I was going "No way." I thought his death was faked for sure, but Hinamori was so sad that I eventually accepted it and ended up mourning along with her. :unsure: This is very silly of course, but I think I even skipped a couple of meals thinking about the possibility of Captain Aizen's death. :rolleyes:
I agree with Captain Panda. I knew that Gin was too obvious a choice as the mastermind, but…I didn't want it to be Aizen. So I completely crossed him off the list because I got fond of him. Now I feel used.
So much for emotional distance. Wow. I had a real cathartic experience there. For a few days, I think I knew what it was like to BE Hinamori. :lol:
Still, maybe Aizen isn't the only one behind this. I wonder if and how he's leagued with anyone else.
Hm...Now if only I knew what it was like to be Urahara's Benihime. :wub:
I knew Ichimaru wasn't the mastermind as well, but i get the feeling there's someone running the show above Aizen. It just seems too precalculated, too perfect, too mysterious. My question is, where will it go from here? Will it run on this new plot developement, or will it continue with the battles like before, because i dont think they actually showed Kanryuusai Vs. Shunsui and Ukitake. I was looking forward to that.
Yeah, I agree that Gin seemed way too obvious, but I'm probably too used to the obvious.
I really wonder how strong Aizen is… I mean, he can't be too much for Ichigo now that he was able to beat Byakuya, right? Unless they pull another "OMG THIS GUY IS THE STRONGEST CAPTAIN EVER" bit... I swear, there's at least 2 or 3 "strongest captains."
Kira's soul slayer is pretty unique, though. But I really wonder what happens when it hits someone..
169 really caught me off guard. I didn't expect Aizen to be evil. Sigh, I guess that means we have to spend another 3841284 volumes in Soul Society…?
What The f*ck IS going on?
Temporal time loop?
Aizen used his Bankai.
