"You have thrown away your reiatsu". Interesting concept. Turning your reiatsu into pure physical strength, which makes me think of a few things:
Can he learn Kidou now? Since Kidou and Reiatsu were in the same category in the Battle Charts, I would assume that they are related enough that not having reiatsu anymore would prevent him from using Kidou.
What of Getsuga Tenshou? It's clearly not a melee attack, so it must be a reiatsu attack, no? Is he now unable to use that?
Would this make the Final Getsuga Tenshou a melee attack, or something completely different entirely?
What if Kenpachi did this?
Though, I have to say, it's a good plan. Ichigo has a MASSIVE Reiatsu (as shown when Unohana was surprised that he had a Captain's level Reiatsu, despite his coat being torn) and it seems like it would be rather useless against Aizen, so trading it for pure strength, which will be more useful, is very smart.
Deicide 20... I hope that it stops soon. I like Kubo's silly Engrish titles.
Seeing that massive chunk of land raise up makes me think of how much more epic the anime will be.
Watching Ichigo be incredibly serious and stoic makes me think... What if we had a silly protagonist? Someone like Goku, who would love a fight like this, and would enjoy it, even if he lost
Forgetting the fact that the world would end. But, of course, this is Ichigo, our "villain-looking good guy".
The agglutination...? Okay, MangaStream/Blinktopia/whoever is the official translator, you're being a bit show-offy now.
Agglutination comes from the Latin phrase meaning "to glue to", so he's referencing the Zanpakutous joining with their arms. It's also a medical term.
I think Aizen's right, though, it would make sense for Zanpakutou to be at their strongest when joined with their wielders. But how much more epic would it be if Aizen's Zanpakutou broke? I mean, Ichigo's bond with Tensa Zangetsu has obviously grown stronger, but what of Aizen and Kyouka Suigetsu?
I like that Ichigo stopped the blade
with his hand. It seems like a reference to when
Aizen did something similar. It's a shame that Ichigo didn't do something similar, because that would have been an incredible moment of
Ironic Echo.
"I can understand if he can dodge it, even if it's impossible for him to do so, I can understand." Aizen's logic shining through.
Perhaps Ichigo can concentrate his Reiatsu-strength into various parts of his body? To his legs to make him fast, then to his arm for a strong swing, to his hand to stop the blade, etc.
Ichigo's mindraping monolouge is also pretty badass.
I was also slightly mindraped myself.
Aizen's talking a lot. You know what that means? He's scared. He's meant to be able to do spells of that level without the chant, and yet he's using the chant because he's afraid that it won't be as powerful.
Black Coffin's going to look epic in the anime.
But the thing is... How did Ichigo destroy it? He can't have used his reiatsu, did he swing his sword?
And Ichigo mentioning that Aizen was wrong about his sword moving the earth... What if that's the same with his Reiatsu? He neither confirmed nor denied that bit, perhaps he still has his Reiatsu, then?
Wow, longer than usual chapter XD Mostly Aizen talking, probably. I'm glad that we're seeing that Ichigo is strong enough to beat Aizen (at least, until Aizen powers up again). But there's that small, nagging feeling in the back of my head that Ichigo shouldn't be that powerful...
