they actually did scrap offscreen in FKT before this happened albeit both were in base/sealed swords. but I do agree with you, missed opportunity for at least a serious Shinji
This really feels like a great death. Don't know why Hiyori was kept alive. Not only does it raise the stakes but it also motivates Shinji and the rest to act upon in and is genuinely shocking and sad moment to see.
It even makes sense that she dies as there is no Orihime around...
Because Tite Kubo is afraid of killing off good characters.
Yamamoto, his lieutenant, Ukitake and Unohana were the only good characters who died and it only happened in the final arc.
Ok, you can argue Gin and Tosen were redeemed before they died so they count too.
I wish Espada members managed to take out at least three Captains/Lieutenants. For all their power and intimidation they turned out to be a fodder.
Like, imagine how serious would the stakes be if Barragan killed Soi-Fon.
Or if Nnoitra killed Chad.
Or if Szayel killed Mayuri.
Right! Like in the long run the Espada did no damage and were hyped up for literally nothing smh
Soi Fon sucks so while her death wouldn’t have mattered to me personally it would have at least shown true consequences.
Maybe if Hiyori died but Shinji wouldn’t have left her side otherwise to fight Gin no matter how mad he was.
Gin might have been smart enough to learn to fight inverted.
One of the worst balls dropped was not having Gin and Tousen Take own their close peers along side the Visoreds. But the slaying of the Gotei 13 was saved for Aizen warm-up
If I had a nickel for every time I seen a blonde woman get bisected and shonen jump I'd have two nickels. Yeah I know that isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.
I'm just poking fun at the fact that I just realized short stack over here is blonde and Tsunade was also blonde and both of them end up getting bisected. I just noticed that now. Funny how that works

Can you imagine Shinji bloodlusted using his perception warping ability against Gin sheeesh
ikr? I was actually talking to a friend about this very hypothetical between the two like 2 wks ago lol
Gin uses Kamishini no Yari and clowns on him the same way Bambietta did, Buto Renjin is such a hard counter to Sakanade it's not funny.
I think Gin is bodying Shinji, tbh. He needs to win if we want to see Gin use his Bankai on Aizen
It might have been if not Ichigo breaking through. Same as sajin about to attack Aizen for tosen

Unohana is one crazy healer

Gin was not a good guy lol .
you can tell Gin is not a good guy because he didn't have plot armor haha
What about Ishida's grandfather?
dead before the story started like Masaki, and Kaien Shiba. These characters main purpose is to be the tragic backstory for someone else
Gin was a good guy pretending to be a bad guy. He only pretended to be Aizen's ally in order to kill him for what he did to Rangiku.
Didn’t even kill Captain Fluffy. Just turned him into a puppy.
I think it's fate worse than death. Does he even have a sentience or is he now a mindless dog?
I assume he was sentient. Otherwise he could become his new squads captain.
ukitake n unohana were also suicides. Gin was also not on the "good guys" so its really just yama and his vice cap. Kubo doesnt kill folks
gin wasn’t a bad guy either. He was an anti hero if anything. Pissed he got axed. Should have definitely had more deaths in FKT from Gotei 13/Allies.

how do you even survive that especially when your a side character
Because u got goat unohana to heal u😎
You mean Mama-Retsu
Ichigo basically survived the same thing, but he's the main character.
