    That was never stated at all. They had them for the fight with Luppi and just got clearance to release them quicker.

    They didn't have them for the fight with Aizen and the espada because... they were going to fight freaking Aizen and the espada.

    At no point is it mentioned that they've abolished the system or anything like that.

    I'm inclined to believe that the captains and vice-captains had their limiters on. The shinigami didn't really take the Fullbringers seriously at all. Rukia kept insisting that she didn't want to hurt humans (thought that ended up biting her in the ass) and Kenpachi just came along because he was bored. Their primary objective was to return Ichigo's powers.

    Oh come on!

    This guy isn't even trying to not look exactly like Aizen.

    That's blatantly Aizen.

    100% Aizen.

    Poor Ayon.

    I recall hearing about a Bleach side-story where some prisoners down in Mukai escaped and took Aizen with them just so he could talk to them and tell them about the stuff outside Soul Society.

    What are you talking about?

    It says so right there in the narration. This is Hidetomo Kajoumaru.

    You may notice that it does not say "Aizen Sousuke".

    Therefore, he is clearly not Aizen.

    Ignore the fact that he looks exactly like a slightly recolored Aizen and that he is playing the role of Mr Exposition just like Aizen. It is not him.

    You know, maybe it's not Aizen. It's just CT Smith off for a holiday.

    Ok, so Ayon broke the super-quinciy's body but the dude healed himself.

    That's going to be mighty annoying later on.

    And thank you bimbo-Aizen. Your plot exposition was actually fairly helpful with some reminding of the world balance thing.

    I kind of feel bad that he whomped that Quincy only to have him go "Ahalolno,"

    Everyone we've joked about being Aizen before this has been not serious, didn't look that much like Aizen.


    But this guy... he's Aizen with white hair and slightly softer features.

    "Both sides are just."

    What? No, that's bullshit. All that I got from the story time of not-Aizen is that Quincies are self-righteous asshats who can't be reasoned with. Seriously SS aren't exactly boy-scouts themselves but I'm with them on this one.

    Pretty much.

    The idea is that war disolves all meaning of right and wrong. Labels like heroes and villains don't mean much of anything since they're both waging war.

    I think there's an implied, "in their eyes," in there. And if they did the huge extermination of the Qunicy 200 years ago how did Mayuri manage to dissect Ishida's grandfather within his lifetime?

    Honestly, the thing that most blatantly makes him Aizen (beside looking exactly like Aizen) is:

    1 - He's supposedly a 6th Seat, yet he gets to talk.
    2 - Not only spoken lines, he's identified by the narration and gets to deliver plot exposition.
    3 - He talks more this chapter than anyone else.

    Did anyone else get the feeling that the main point of this chapter was to repeat Rukia's explanation of the Quincy purge almost verbatim simply because it's been over 400 chapters since this informaton was relevant?

    Actually, my gut reaction to this guy was pretty much: "What the hell is Ryuken doing masquerading as a shinigami?"

    But, yeah, he does kinda look like a blonde Aizen.
