Is that because of her breasts?

He could easily do the the same with a Fullbringer.
But what would be the point? These were people who sought to do defraud and do Ichigo great harm, after all, and on top of that who would you propose do that? I thought no one until Artiistic mentioned Shishigawara (whom I sincerely wish everyone would stop referring to as "Sushigawara" because he's cooler than that and it detracts more from his damaged rep) but then again he, too, was no better, and in fact was one Fullbringer who was against Ichigo since his introduction, even though Ichigo might not have known it.
Boy I have had a nice retrospective view on Bleach for the past couple of days. It all started when a couple days further back I began thinking on how interesting it would've been seeing Aizen in action before his defection, e.g. if he were storming Hueco Mundo alongside the other captains to put an end to the threat the Espada posed. (In particularly, I've often thought of just how badass it would've been to have "finally" seen Aizen's true power in the fight against Zommari, wherein he takes Byakuya's place and releases his illusory shikai). In the same way it only took Shunsui to reveal his shikai to ultimately defeat Stark, it would've been nice to see Aizen murk an Espada with only his Kyouka Suigetsu, you know?
Now I know that by now, most if not all who are reading this are probably turned off by the thought of Aizen fighting given his unbelievably haxxed performance for much of his appearance. Try to think about this, though, from the other side, the side where he's still on the good guys' side and protecting Seireitei. This interest lead me to watch the flashback episode based on the in-between negative chapter wherein the academic shenanigans of Rukia, Renji, Izuru, Momo, and Shuhei are detailed.
Just seeing Aizen strolling down the path between the throngs of shinigami students sent a chill up my spine. It was interesting thinking of Aizen as a captain again because he's such a powerful character, and at that time a powerful character on the heroes' side. In those days he was already on the level of SS's finest, (e.g. Unohana, Ukitake, and Kyouraku)- even more so given strong shinigami like Ichimaru and Byakuya weren't even captains then- and really only second to Yamamoto. The highlight of that episode, as some of you might guess, was when he and Ichimaru showed up and deuced those huge hollows they sent there in the first place. Poor things, especially the one Aizen handled. He didn't even use his sword; all it took was an outpouring of his reiryoku to thoroughly disintegrate it.
After that, I went and watched the hour special with Renji and Byakuya's fight, the Zaraki and Tousen-Komamura fight, and the beginning of Rukia's execution.
There were a couple of -interesting things I noticed in there, all of them sharing translations differing from the ones I'm used to.
The most interesting one I noticed was the dialogue between Tousen and Zaraki during the former's fight with the latter within his bankai. The first was that Tousen said "there's only one
way of escaping the silent hell, and that's by
running the outside". I've always been told that line said, "there's only one
man that can escape the silent hell, and that is
he who holds Suzumushi". Now while I know that the latter is true, I do have to say that I heard Tousen say the Japanese verb for "run". The second and more interesting translation difference I heard was when Tousen was fed up with Zaraki after the latter started smiling because he found a way to rout Tousen's bankai: the translation said that Tousen said "
he's still laughing" which makes worlds more sense than "
he's still smiling" given Tousen is after all blind. Then again, Zaraki simply smiled when he got the idea to get stabbed by Tousen to draw him out, so...
