I knew that about Ashido, and I really, really liked that part of the series. It didn't let up on the action, and it made it more believable somehow; that they weren't just dropped in and managed to more or less get straight to the action unhindered. I mean...it's Aizen, right?
Plus it explains where all the normal hollows are, which I was having trouble with otherwise...
Anyway! The thing is only that I've been having a harder and harder time...well...wanting to be on the Shinigami's side. Aizen is a cold bastard too, and Urahara is a pitiful beast -- rewatching the end of the SS arc where he apologises to them, I'm almost certain he didn't apologise enough. I mean -- what kind of coward sends kids to fix his mistakes? And then Central 46 is wickedly corrupt, and Yamamoto constantly ceases to amaze me in how much of a bastard and an idiot he is despite being thousands of years old. Um...
So yeah. It's just another arrow to add to the quiver of 'Well maybe Aizen's not doing a bad thing trying to clean this place up', and then you remember that he wants to kill hundreds of thousands of people...
Soul Society is clearly not a nice kind of place. It's amazing Ukitake can still smile like he does at all. I think they must have him on happy pills.
It's just...ah, I don't know. I guess when you explain it like that about Hyourinmaru, then it's fine. But I don't see why the loser, a loyal Shinigami, even if his way of achieving it might at some point have been questionable, has to be murdered... There's a lot in Bleach about following rules without question, or without consulting your moral compass; Byakuya is like that, too.
And then, hahah, I watched the new episode, and I genuinely, genuinely felt sorry for the Arrancar in it. Might have been the music, though. It was cold, if you know what I mean. Businesslike. Kenpachi even gave Nnoitra a chance...but clearly not all Shinigami are like that. Can you tell that I am not sure I like Soi-Fon so much any more?
