Aizen Kills Gin! | Goodbye...Rangiku (Bleach Ep 307-308) - TF Reacts

[@polygon2745]

Fun fact: Gin's Bankai name hints towards his betrayal of Aizen. His Shikai "Shinso" means "god spear". His bankai, "Kami shini no yari" means "God killing spear", which refers to his attempt on Aizen's life. Even more interestingly, in the manga, these run of chapters were called "Deicide", as in the act of killing a god.

[@Gonapa58]

Yeah if you remember Aizen's speech leaving Soul Society he implied he wanted to take the place of a God. And then Aizen vs Shinji said that speech about telling Shinji which god to believe in and compared himself to God.

[@User5hdbh]

Do you know who the god is? It's hollow ichigo

[@polygon2745]

@@User5hdbh that's one interpretation i suppose

[@User5hdbh]

​@@polygon2745 that's the truth tho.

[@polygon2745]

@@User5hdbh Why do you say that? Interpreting his Hollow as the "god" of his inner world is a neat idea, especially taking into account what's revealed in the TYBW, but he's not being killed. Far from it, Ichigo is accepting Tensa Zangetsu + Hollow in order to attain the Final Getsuaga. How is that Deicide? The logical conclusion is that Aizen is the god being referred to in "Deicide" because 1) he's portrayed as an unstoppable godly being with an actual god complex 2) he's trying to overthrow the "god" of the Soul Society and stand above him.

[@Sacrificial_Spaghetti]

I nice detail I didn't notice for the longest time is that Gin still had his Bankai active from his fight with Ichigo (Ichigo even brings attention to the fact that just because he shrunk his sword doesn't mean he's ended his Bankai), Gin didn't use his Bankai against Ichigo because he needed it, he used it so he would have it ready to use against Aizen. Also Gin's Bankai translates to "God killing spear" which is another hint about his true intentions with Aizen. Gin touching Aizen's sword made him immune to its effects, which is crazy because that means that he somehow avoided ever being put under its effect in the first place (probably why his eyes were closed all the time lol)

[@TalentedForeverOrg]

Gin is smart af. Really well written character in our opinion. He is the Goat.

[@TheReaIestOne]

Ichigo can finally use his music again after stopping Aizen's sword with his hand.😂

[@User5hdbh]

Before ichigo stop aizen's sword it also ichigo's music tho.

[@TalentedForeverOrg]

Right! QUEUE THE MUSIC

[@henriboylan7361]

Gin simply wanted to avenge the hurt that was done to Rangiku by Aizen. It had to be done with surprise, too. If Gin told anyone about Aizen, they would have confronted him, and Aizen would escape. Gin wanted to make sure there was no escape.

Gin The Goat

[@ibrahimsurti4922]

Not true Aizen stole a part of her soul, that is why even now Rangiku can not reach bankai......she will not reach that level cause she does not have a complete soul, Gin tried to retrieve that part of her soul from the hogyoku that is why he stole it

[@protectedsouls415]

well ya u can still say Gin's motivations were selfish bc it was for only 1 individual & that's Rangiku ofc, avenging her & getting back that part of her soul that was gouged out by Aizen. the bleach novels cover a lil more on this but ya. Rangiku has amnesia of that event to her in the past so she never knew Gin was trying to retrieve part of her soul back that was fed to the hogyouku

[@TalentedForeverOrg]

They were but we think they were just in his right.

[@polygon2745]

Aizen mentioned that he gouged out the souls of Rukon residents with latent Soul Reaper powers and gave them to his Hogyoku in an attempt to awaken it. Rangiku was one of those people (that's the scene where Gin found her on the ground after Aizen's men took a part of her soul). Gin was likely going to try and take back the portion of Rangiku's soul that Aizen took from the Hogyoku. Gin in general is just an interesting character for how little screentime he had. He was speaking to Ichigo in code throughout their whole fight, trying to get him to understand that he was the only person able to sense Aizen's powers and the implications of that feat. One of the big points of discussion in the community when this chapter first came out was whether or not Gin was a "good" person. He went out of his way to torment Rukia in the Soul Society even when no one was watching, slaughtered hundreds of Rukon residents, and seemingly enjoyed bisecting Hiyori. A lot of this may have been to remain undercover, but he was doing all of that for a "good" reason (getting back what Rangiku had taken from her), however selfish it may be. He's a very grey character.

[@protectedsouls415]

he also directly led/tricked Momo into following him to meet up with Aizen so she can "see him" in which she's nearly killed ofc but Unohana was on standby to have her escape death. also when Aizen extracted the hogyouku from her he ordered Gin to kill her & he almost successfully did ofc but BYakuya timely intervened to take the stab puncture himself

[@TalentedForeverOrg]

Gin is great lol

[@yuqingchen9851]

Ichigo in the late story does not use the mask is not because he can’t, it is because there is no need. Hollow power is part of his power and his later state has combined power together, you can think it as he always at Mask buff state. Although I know you guys probably know that since you watched TYBW, but just to clarify it for sure

[@TalentedForeverOrg]

Thanks Chen, It has been said to us and it makes sense. Will forever miss the mask though, it looked so dope!

[@joep.5696]

Gin is not a Captain, Gin is a Lover and his actions are for Love.

[@joep.5696]

Gin is Love, no Justice, he fight for Rangiku and himself, no for the Human World or the Soul Society, if he want real Justice maybe he don't kill Aizen.

[@nsampone3]

Ichigo’s sword always had a chain. The chain is longer now and wrapped around his arm because he’s one with his sword

[@kevinbrooks9074]

Gin couldn't tell anyone because he could be speaking to an illusion created by Aizen...

[@TalentedForeverOrg]

That is facts, I (Savvy) thought the same thing

[@yashmehta4087]

Aizen sealed because of himself not because of ichigo or urahara Keep that in mind Its all part of his plan

[@yashmehta4087]

@@TalentedForeverOrg ichigo understand aizens feeling after he lost his powers and aizen got sealed Aizen hogyoku deactivated because aizen got not desire or ambitions left after he seen ichigo lose all hos power because ichigo and hogyoku was key parts of his plans to reach his final goal according to novels

[@sanddry738]

@@yashmehta4087 Yeah essentially the reason he even took out the cleaner was to give Ichigo the time to develop. His hope was Ichigo could force him to evolve even more. It isn’t just a case of “oh he’s just lonely” but also looking at his own strength and beliefs. Especially when you find out all the stuff with the Soul King. He’s not a good person in the slightest but nor is he just some delusional psycho who wants to be god But to specify, NO Aizen getting sealed wasn’t part of his plans at all.

[@yashmehta4087]

@@sanddry738 technically aizen is Author of BLEACH and gurdian angel of ichigo 😂😂😂

[@CursedHatter]

fun fact aizen literally states he ws going to die the fear of death the fact he woulda have died if it wasn't for the hogyoku evolving him he would for sure of died from gin so by all rights he did it just he evolved

[@RayzorWire]

So the reason why Gin had to wait so long to attack Aizen was because it wasn't until Yamamoto grabbed Aizen's sword that he learned that was how to see through the illusion. Then you see the rest play out not long after in soul society.

[@alicewonderland1380]

No ? Aizen told him when he was a kid/teen, decades after they met

[@theprogressivecynic2407]

Ichigo's mask actually limited his powers. It's sorta counter-intuitive, but he always had his hollow power, and his mask appeared when he started using it, only to indicate the percentage of his powers he still had sealed. This is why his mask felt heavy when he put it on after the Ulquiora fight, as his hollow was already 100% active and putting the mask on actually restrained him somewhat.

[@TalentedForeverOrg]

Hmmmm interesting

[@ibrahimsurti4922]

Aizen stole a piece of Rangikus soul, and fused it with the hogyoku along with 1000 of peoples souls That is why poor Rangiku cant reach bankai status or get stronger than lieutenant, Gin tried to retrieve a part of her soul from it
