i wanted to comment on the aizen transformation discussion before we were all sent to the corner for a time out.

did anyone else think he looked suspiciously similar to the bankai doll that yoruichi used on ichigo? i'm sure that doesn't mean anything, but who knows?

You know, now that you mention it, that's true. And the Hougy is at the center, which is also where Ichigo stabbed the doll, isn't it?

I think Aizen's transformation is underwhelming, but he'll probably look different once the smoke clears from last chapter.

yeah, it'll be even more underwhelming. maybe he'll look just like he did before his transformation, except the hougy will be inside and not disgustingly embedded like an ostomy.

Aizen said himself that Transfusions look ugly when uncompleted - means it's not his final form. So lets hope his final stage looks badass instead of so... plain.

But now that you mention it he indeed looks like this doll *goes to rewatch the ep*

I agree, I really hope that Aizen's trasformation is much better than what it is now. :c

Hopefully he'll look badass at least.

For now he looks like:

1. Condom
2. Tampon
3. Bag Man
4. Silver Surfer.

Pick what you prefer.

He turned into his Bishounen self again, but with Hollow eyes and long hair now.
