AIZEN SŌSUKE — EPISODE 206

[irlkisukeurahara]

Also I realize calling Byakuya in Turn Back The Pendulum a "teen" was super generous. He's the same age as Gin who looked very young. And if we compare him to Yoruichi's height he was no taller than 4 feet. That's shorter than a twelve year old. Yoruichi's behavior towards him in that scene is even worse now. That is just straight up a prepubescent boy.

stillll thoroughly entertained by the thought of Suì-Fēng and Kisuke potentially working together/being squadmates under Yoruichi

I was thinking about how we all know the gender ratio of the Captains has always been wack but the Lieutenants surprisingly started out at 6M/6F during the SS arc

Which then during the timeskip became 6M/8F

...And then by Gokui Meimei somehow ended up at 9M/6F. lmao

EPISODE 207 — HIRAKO SHINJI AND AIZEN SŌSUKE

This came to me in a fever dream

ND!3rd-seat Gin but there's this set up for him in the Squad 5 office right next to Shinji's desk

Yeah but...what if Sojun Kuchiki had also become a Visored? He was Ginrei's Lieutenant at the time so he could've gone instead of Lisa if he was snooping around the Captain's meeting (or maybe they were both together because that'd be funny and Dad doesn't tell him anything so he has his reasons: Ginrei knew he was there the whole time)

Ginrei would be angsty because his son became partially hollowfied, sentenced to death and then up and vanished, probably never telling Byakuya the truth. Plus potentially thinking that Sojun did in fact choose his fate and dying never knowing it was Aizen all along (though lets be honest Sojun was a sunshine and Ginrei would be sus from the start)

Byakuya having to deal with the fact his Father who adores him so much is simply not there anymore and knowing that his Grandfather isn't telling the truth, causing a family rift

(Even Koga has the potential to feel bad, but with the Lieutenant spot open and him being third seat...)

Then Byakuya has to deal with the fallout after the war as Sojun is A) Alive and B) running around with Shinji & Co. (as the DadFriend) with a hollow mask. At least they'd get a tearful reunion. Sojun suspected that Ginrei had passed but is still sad over it

And Sojun would ADORE Rukia (and Hisana) (and eventually Renji & Ichika) and be BestDad to his kids though he already was

some art of friends' ocs!

You know what, I have every sympathy for Soul Society not noticing there was an entire alternate dimensions being constructed in their shadows. My house abuts woodland in the back and all kinds of completely ungodly sounds come out of it, all the time, and I have never once ventured in to investigate. There is an ungodly sound coming out of it *right* now and I am writing this post instead of investigating. Because although there is no fence, Google Maps tells me the trees are the property line. Can't be crossing imaginary lines now can we! (Also there are ticks and poison ivy.)

Not that the Gotei historically has a problem with crossing lines, parasites, or poison, lolol, but I think for them it's less of an "oh, I wouldn't do that. It's rude" and more of a cognitive inability to consider the possibility. Even 12th-- they're busy looking at other things, deeper wormholes. They're looking at space(-time) in the Dangai, in Hueco Mundo, in the Valleys of Screams, not in the shadows!

Kubo confirmed Shutara's contribution as being the Shihakushou, but I think her being the Captain between the two of them could've been fun

So I went back to the Bleach Wiki and took a look, apparently that was only confirmed on CFYOW (the light novel by Narita) which...doesn't really have much canonical credibility, at least viewed by the fandom. I remembered seeing it in Senjumaru's Wikipedia page as well before, but the admins probably thought that it wasn't strictly canonical and took it down. Who knows?

That said, I myself actually believe in the idea that Senjumaru was the inventor of the shihakushou lmao, mostly because anything else is 1) not mentioned, 2) unlikely (in my mind, at least)? Since Kubo said he would be adding stuff in the anime, I really hope he would either make her the inventor of the shihakushou official or reveal her contributions to Soul Society

I love Bleach sfm oh my god
