Tagline(s): If you became a snake tomorrow
And began devouring people,
If you roared your love for me
With that mouth you use to devour people
Could I still say that I love you
As I do today?
Summary: Aizen's new powers are too much for even the
combined efforts of Ichigo, Isshin, Urahara, and Yoruichi. But as Aizen
and Gin head for the real Karakura Town, Ichigo decides to undergo
intense training under his father's tutelage.
Review:
Matsumoto caught a glimpse of Gin while he was fighting Ichigo and took
off running. Her feelings toward Gin are going to get her killed
eventually. She was only healed enough to stay alive, and yet she's
running after Gin. Not smart.
With Ichigo's lost hope, his strength diminishes. Gin states that Ichigo
was a lot scarier when they first crossed swords after Gin cut off
Jidanbo's arm when Ichigo first arrived in the Soul Society. This is
true. Ichigo looks kind of pathetic now.
Just as Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho wounded Aizen's, so does Isshin's. But
Isshin can't read Aizen's spirit energy since his transformation. Only
someone in the same state would be able to. Of course, Ichigo can sense
is power. And it's made even more real when Aizen takes out Isshin,
Yoruichi, and Urahara. This is when Aizen prepares to open the Senkaimon
Gate and invade the real Karakura Town in the Soul Society. It's also
when Aizen's creepy shell--chrysalis stage--breaks apart and his
transformation is complete. I have to admit, the new Aizen does look
kinda cool.
With Kototsu missing from the Dangai, Isshin can teach Ichigo the Final
Getsuga Tensho. Ichigo meets Tensa Zangetsu--the Bankai form of his
sword. For some reason Zangetsu--and Isshin's Engetsu--don't want to
teach the Final Getsuga Tensho. We don't find out why in this volume,
but I'm sure there's an interesting reason why.
"This towering world of yours that was filled to the heavens with hope
has been reduced to your tiny little town! The rain that once poured
down on this world may have stopped, but now it's been sunk to the
bottom of the ocean! All because you lost hope and stopped moving
forward. Ichigo, I will not let you stay like that. I will pull out the
very roots of your despair."
This is when Ichigo meets the new form his Hollow power gained in his
fight with Ulquiorra. Ichigo fears this form and that is the reason he
can't Hollowfy properly. Tensa Zangetsu and the Hollow are one. They
both are Ichigos power. And this--both of them merged together--is who
Ichigo needs to battle to learnt he Final Getsuga Tensho. The two merged
together look really awesome. I can't wait to see more of their fight
against Ichigo.
As Aizen enters Karakura Town, Ichigo's friends begin waking up. They
make a run for it as Aizen draws closer and closer, but will Ichigo make
it in time to save them all?
