How Bleach Broke the Villain Redemption Trope

[@AnonTDegenerate]

Honestly Kenpachi is one of the nicest captains around man, he does not deserve to be called that crazy. He actively chooses to spare people and try make them change in his own way and outside of battle he's kinda level headed since he just doesn't care about much else. It's why he was one of the only ones to help Ichigo and co in soul society. Sure he did it for a good fight, but he was the only one to not be wrapped up in weird squad squabbles and politics in the gotei. Meanwhile Soi-Fon is unhinged. She was way too trigger happy to kill people.

[@kunik61]

Zaraki feels like a second main character. We see him becoming stronger both in terms of power and mentally.

[@salmannazeer2688]

Zaraki doesn't actively chose to spare people. He choses not to finish them off once they're down. There's a difference between the two. If you're too weak then you'll get killed. If you're lucky enough to survive a strike despite being defeated then he won't finish you off. He won't help you either. He'll leave you there to bleed out unless someone else comes to help. Also we've seen the literal mountain of corpses that Zaraki cut down back then as a child.

[@salmannazeer2688]

Soi-Fon was literally raised to serve as a killing tool subordinate to the Shihoin. And the Shihoin were incharge of an organisation that either killed off or imprisoned anyone they deemed "dangerous" to the safety of Seireitei. Soi-Fon is trigger happy to kill people because killing people is her job description. She's not trained to kill hollows. She's trained to kill people.

[@Honest_Mids_Masher]

Can you blame Soi Fon when she hardly has any good things happening during her early life all the way until she became a captain? Heck, she was outright taught to kill.

[@salmannazeer2688]

@@Honest_Mids_Masher Soi fon is the leader of an organisation whose objective is to assassinate or capture people who might threaten soul society. Her job isn't to fight hollows. Her job is to literally kill people. She was raised from childhood to be a part of that organisation as well.

[@manuelacosta9463]

Aizen is simply playing the waiting game. Another irredeemable villain in this series is Tokinada Tsunayashiro and his 'watch the world burn for fun' mentality. He meets his end by CFYOW's conclusion, but he dies laughing in that he has already ended or ruined many lives while the system that molded/abetted him remains in place, only stopping him because he knew too much and was going to reveal all in his ambition. Yoruichi makes this coldly clear to Kisuke in the novel's final pages.

[@Heznoheznohezno]

Yessss. I really really hope Tokinada and the cfyow characters make an appearance in the upcoming hell arc. They were a joy to read and this arc should be pretty much the Bleach All Stars Battle Royale we were waiting for

[@1ManNamedDan]

This take is so on point. Aizen isn't humbled, he doesn't see his imprisonment as defeat it's just merely a respite while he goes over a few flaws in his designs, the Geoti 13 can't destroy him because they really don't know how, he's basically immortal. The reason he won't join the heir of god's side, Yhwach, as a servant is because he already felt strong enough to defy god in the first place. Yhwach even himself admitted at his current strength it would take considerable time and resources to destroy even a *restrained* Aizen as his All Seeing power hadn't awakened yet and he currently had fish to fry but I'm sure he had it in mind to revisit when such time he could cognate and fully control the soul kings power. Absolute best villain written in such a way you don't question the absurdity of his knowledge and power because the other characters that defy him like Kuske, Shunsui, Yoruichi and of course Ichigo also have been written to have such power and potential that when they are obviously dwarfed by Aizen it hits pretty solid. Kubo's creation never got nerfed by a setback.

[@albuspercivalwulfricbriand5363]

And the fact is Aizen isn’t killed and sentenced to 20000 years in prison. Meaning no hax bullshit ability can kill him. Not even Black Mausoleum.

[@sarkaztik3228]

@@sarthakarora3212 Who is "they"? Because, objectively speaking, Gotei 13 can't kill him or they WOULD have. That's the whole point of him being imprisoned. The Hōgyoku isn't even understood by Urahara or Mayuri and THAT would have to be taken care of to even have a chance of killing him. By the end of the series, there's not a single person with power to kill him (let alone not be manipulated on top of that). Without the Hōgyoku I doubt many, if any, of the Gotei 13 can deal with him, except for Yamamoto just burning literally everything and hoping he's even in Soul Society.

[@notjustanother3191]

The best part about yhwach and aizen is yhwach can see the future and predict whatever Aizen might do, but it doesn't help shit. All the predictions do for him is he knows not to fuck with Aizen and that his best option is to run.

Aizen was the only one that really gave set off those danger vibes and was a long term threat. Unlike the other's that got wiped off the board in a small few chapters.

[@mikehawk8984]

I think you've perfectly described it, he still *IS* Aizen. Aizen was, and is, a Trancendant being capable of easily whiping out the universe and he didn't lose that in TYBW. It was expanded on in the light novels, but one of Aizen's true strengths that go underlooked because of his god-like Reiatsu and intelligence is his ability to speak and sow discourse to suit his needs. Reading the manga we had no fucking clue what Aizen truly was thinking, what his plan was, or who he actually was, and we still don't. *THAT'S* what makes him compelling. Someone who you well and truly believe is 5 steps ahead of you, and it's terrifying. If there ever was a Machiavellian devil, it would be Aizen.

At this point, Aizen could put Ichigo under KS and well GG, but in the end he decided to go back.

Nah, it really makes sense. Aizen himself said it as to why he opposes Yhwach. He believes himself to be superior to everyone else and would destroy anyone that seeks to dominate him. Also, his goals is completely different from Yhwach.

​@@Black_pfp333Basically, he refused to let anyone stand above him, and would destroy anyone that tries to dominate him

​@@vexedeffect6784 His explanation is why I think it is half-assed. The smart decision in his situation was to let Yhwach reshape the world and then try to take over. Teaming up with Soul Society against Yhwach will only yield bad outcomes for him. If Yhwach loses, he'll be back in prison under the command of central 46, the people that he truly despises. And if Yhwach wins, then he would have expanded his power for nothing since he could have just waited.

​@@parlor3115​Bold of you to assume aizen would want to take over a world created by someone other than himself. He wants to do it with his own hand. You missed a vital piece of his characterization.
