I have a theory..
Gin has no soul. He kills shinigamis and takes their zanpaktuus --> explains why ichigo could not read him when fighting. possible motive : - spirit king is the one responsible for gin not having soul and he wants to take it back by force killing him with Aizens sword plot : he reveals all of it to ichigo who sympathises but bests him in battle and then also defeats and kills spirit king and replaces him. twist: the spirit king is urahara kisuke. umm..no flames please |

I think Bleach just deviates wherever it's convenient for Kubo. He just modifies the storyline until it's bent out of shape, hoping to keep it going...?
I don't know. This thing with Gin stabbing Aizen was completely predictable, at least to me. In fact, I had been anticipating it. Actually, I was spot on enough to know it would happen in this chapter, too. I'm also very sure that Aizen won't die, and will escape somehow. Maybe he'll do something with the Hougyoku and survive, maybe even in typical shonen style, he'll have to sacrifice the Hougyoku itself to have a single moment of enough power to withstand Gin's poison and live. Then, in his weakened and recovering state, Ichigo and his father will find Aizen and then he'll be vanquished. I really saw so much more potential in this manga. I really hope that Gin's former vice captain doesn't go to waste since I love his personality and style and think he has lots of potential.

Yep. For the next...what, 20 chapters, you think?
That's if Kubo didn't forget about him. If so, then you'll see Byakuya and Zaraki show up out of the blue, and then we'll get 20 chapters of flashbacks showing them finishing off Yammy... Of course, part of me half-expects to see Yammy show back up in K-town, with a glassy look in his eyes and Mayuri riding him around like a Rent-A-Zilla, Zaraki and Byakura following sheepishly behind trying to avoid eye contact...

It's because Kubo lacks the mental wherewithal necessary to come up with an original plot, and he thinks that if he goes to English-speaking forums his Japanese readers won't realise where it's come from.
Either that or he's come to the decision that in a shounen manga plot unpredictability is more important than coherence, and has been reading the sensible ideas on Japanese forums and has decided to directly go against them (e.g. people suggesting that the silhouetted foot at the end of chapter 410 was Ryuuken and him having to prove them wrong by making it Don Kanonji) |

Should we move this discussion on to the Chapter 415 thread?
