  Wonder if Orihime can use her powers to turn back time on Ichigo so he can get his powers back.
  Probably not.
  And he still has his Hollow powers right?
  Wonder whats going to happen to that...

  Hmm, so Ichigo asks Urahara if Aizen really had been rejected by Hougyoku. Ichigo tells us that his father explained the workings of the Hougyoku and how it materializes what is in the heart of its surroundings. Though last week it seemed to be more obvious for Aizen to have been sealed due to being weakened by the Mugetsu, Ichigo seems to think that Aizen wanted to lose his powers. Ichigo explains that after he obtained the power to face Aizen, he was capable of reading Aizen’s blade and as such his heart. All Ichigo found in that blade was solitude. Aizen always proclaimed that relying on others was a sign of weakness and the way he ended up by himself in the end was more prove of his feeling of not wanting to be surrounded by people who wouldn’t understand him.
  
  Ichigo deduces that Aizen was born with a power far greater than anyone around him. In a sense, he was an standing on top of a mountain while everyone else was walking at the foot of that mountain. Throughout his life, he noticed that people were striving to obtain powers similar to his, yet none could reach him. They were like eagles without wings, wanting to soar above everything but incapable of doing so. Maybe that’s why he got close to Hitsugaya at times. The boy who was a prodigy in his own right, but was still incapable of standing next to Aizen in power. The reason he kept angering Hitsugaya might have been because he noticed that people grow stronger when they’re angry, carrying hatred to those that harm their friends.
  Perhaps he was taunting Hitsugaya as a backup plan, to let him grow into a being that could stand with him on top of the mountain.
  
  But Aizen had followers for a long time. When he was a captain, he had subordinates that adored him, yet he wasn’t searching for that. Even before he was a captain, he never found anyone who could stand alongside him. It was probably around that time that Aizen wanted to change things, and as such had to go after the Spirit King. He started up his plans and had to work around Tosen, who he convinced to follow him. But even though Tosen had faith in him, it wasn’t what he was looking for. Using the Hougyoku Aizen created countless Arrancar, but all of them lacked the power to stand with him and all had their own desires. Tosen shared Aizen’s ideals, but even after the Hollowfication he lacked the power to stand beside him. The reason Aizen blew Tosen up in the end, probably had to do with the fact that he knew Tosen would follow him no matter what, but couldn’t give him what he truly wanted.
  
  Gin was someone who could’ve stood alongside Aizen. But Gin came to him with the intent to kill him. Though Gin could’ve stood on the same heights as Aizen, they would never be able to stand at the same place. Gin fought for Matsumoto and his target was Aizen. Without that goal, he would never reach Aizen’s level of power. But with the hatred towards Aizen he achieved an amazing power. This is probably why he only saw Gin as his vice-captain, as he had the same potential as Aizen. But he never truly relied on Gin because Gin never intended to stand on top of the mountain. While Aizen was looking forward and upward, Gin was only looking down at the person he felt was most important to him. But Aizen could still use Gin’s inevitable betrayal to his advantage, to get to his target: The Spirit King…
  
  But then came his battle against Ichigo. Ichigo obtained a power far greater than his own, but it came at a great price. In order to achieve the greatest power Aizen has ever seen, Ichigo had to give them all up. Ichigo fired his Mugetsu and started losing his powers. During this moment, Aizen probably started to realize something. As Kyouka Suigetsu started disappearing and parts of Aizen’s evolution started to come loose, Aizen thought the Hougyoku was granting him the same power Ichigo had as he desired such a power. But Ichigo now believes that Aizen wasn’t looking for the power Ichigo had at that time, but for the side effect of that power. After seeing how Ichigo lowered himself to the level of a mere human, he must have realized somewhere in his heart that he too could just give up his power with the Hougyoku’s help. Same as how Rukia gave up on her power, he could just become a normal Shinigami.
  
  Urahara, however, might have noticed something more than just this. Looking at it like this, the story seems to be quite similar to what Ichigo had to go through with his ability to see ghosts. The ability to see ghosts (and the orange hair) made him somewhat of an outcast. But unlike Aizen, who blamed the Spirit King, Ichigo did his best to fit in. Ichigo found friends who accepted him for what he was and he did the same for them. This was the greatest difference between Aizen and Ichigo. Where Aizen was waiting for others to come to him, Ichigo helped others to get to where he was. This resulted in the friends Ichigo has made in his life.

  Bleach 423 - Read Online at Manga Stream
  lol
  you'd think that they have death sentence after all the stuff Aizen pulled out instead of over 20k years
  
  btw bleach will now be on a 2 week hiatus after this week

  Hopefully the series doesn't drag on after the hiatus is over. Everything is all about finished; the main character has reached and lost his goal of the story (if there ever was one), and the enemy has just been trolled.
  
  Yep, Bleach is finally going to end. >:

  The author has said in interviews before that Aizen isn't the final boss, so no, it's not going to end.
  
  Besides, the chapter wherein Aizen got sealed implied the Soul King is a greater evil than Aizen, it also implied that Aizen was merely a rebel looking for a cause to live, and not necessarily a villain.

  Didn't the author said said somewhere that he was planning two more arks?
  1 ark for around 3-8 months and another ark for 1-3 years?

  It should end here Dx Hell it should have ended eons ago 70% of the manga felt like he was trying to make it last longer.

  Agreed. One or two more chapters of goodbyes would be a nice ending to Bleach. :\
  
  Whatever.

  Well if it was truly ending, that ending would be extended and more satisfying.
