Bleach 622: The Agony

Zach Goodier




Aizen has returned, and with all his fearsome power seemingly greater than ever. He effortlessly deals with the little creatures, and in the process damages the barrier around the Seiretei. The others quickly question Kyoraku, who knows that this decision is not one that would be appreciated, but he argues that pride alone won't save the world, and that Aizen is another form of "evil" that can be used to fight the evil they face now. Aizen casually sits and spectates this exchange, patiently waiting out the arguments before returning to his work. While Kyoraku can't completely free Aizen, he bargains a deal to get him on their side, at least for the time being. However, as Aizen's power disrupts the portal in the lab, he says that they don't need the portal now that the barriers around the palace have been breached, and that he will use his power to help them.

I really missed Aizen in the story, and he's already making up for lost time. His calm, cold exterior and his confidence always seems to disrupt the other soul reapers, and it makes things much more interesting. I always saw similarities between Kyoraku in Aizen, in terms of their cunning and relatively quiet demeanor. Having them interact more in this story arc has given both characters a chance to show their stuff, and it really has me on the edge of my seat.
