  I doubt Urahara will be the one to defeat Aizen though. Which means his bankai will fail.
  Maybe Ichigo will suddenly find his inner strength (again) and discover a super-ultra-Aizen-defeating-ultimate-level-of-Bankai and then Bleach will finally end.

  No, the trial of heroes suggest he must overcome his 2nd hollow form.
  
  Also, he wakes up and realizes he's been on too much drugs. I mean, shinigamis? Hollows? Please.

  what happens when the hougyoko dies?
  everything is back to normal
  or some weird stuff like the events of bleach and shinigami never really happened?

  Tite Kubo would become the most legendary figure in mangaka history.

  the cat thinks Bleach isn't so great in Japan as opposed to the English manga/anime fanbase

  o_o
  
  Squeee.
  
  Bout time.

  It's still up there, cat. I see it appear as #1 in sales some months. I guess that when you've established such a large fanbase for so many years, it is probably of no consequence to your income the amount of plot trolling commit on a weekly basis. lol

  Best Bleach chapter in a long time.
  
  I love the chapter because the hogyoku is an original plot device that nobody saw coming. Truly Kubo is an inventive mangaka.
  
  I hope you people understood what exactly the hogyoku does.

  To be more precise, the chapter leaks; not bought by a random dude. (Japan doesn't get this chapter until next week Monday.)

  False. It's going to be a long time before there'll be new series that equal the popularity of Naruto, Bleach and One Piece in both Japan and the English fanbase.

  No, the hearts are already materialised. Hogyoku dying wouldn't revert anything back to normal.

  I wouldn't call waiting years to spill all the plot beans in a single chapter "inventive." That type of pacing is rather clumsy considering that there is little building of suspense. When I read it, I went from "meh" to "ohey...meh." Even Aizen admits that most of the Hueco Mundo plot has been a lame stalling tactic to squeeze out more time and frustrate others before triggering of the real plot.

  Tite Kubo is either:
  
  1. Massively improvising. He doesn't know where he's going and he's pulling **** out of his ass every week. This is why all the chapters are so full of lulz and make no sense in comparison to the earlier plotline.
  
  2. Massively plotting. He's been setting everything up years ago just so he can strike us with uber trolling.

  Lol @ #1 It could be that but I think hes plotting everything. Hes very good at that, like he just pulled all of the real reasons (In the beginning) for powers and crap into one chapter that completly blew my mind.
