Cut to Byakuya, who is being healed along with Hanatarou and Rukia. The old Espada suddenly appears, but is impaled through the chest when Gin comes up behind him and releases his sword. He smiles and the chapter ends.
Two questions if this is true:
1) Did another one of the top 3 Espada (or even Tousen or Aizen) show up at the Mayuri fight?
2) Why the hell did Gin kill the old Espada? Is he betraying Aizen? (not likely) Are the 3 traitor captains killing off all the Espada to make room for the Vasto Lorde Espada Aizen has been hiding this whole time? |
Going on the rumor...
I do not recall anyone showing up to the Aporro fight with Mayuri/Renji/Ishida/Nel's 2 flunkies. The only other thing I remember mentioned with the unknowned order of the top 3 Espada, was Halibel observing the Ichigo/Grimmjow fight. The Old Man and the Sleeping Espada were still MIA for everything else iirc.
If Gin really does kill the Old Man Espada and betrays Aizen, color me suprised. I'm under the belief that Tousen will betray eventually (and/or have his Zanpaktou totally backfire on him and destroy him, seeing as how the one he uses is not his Zanpaktou) as from before (especially following Kenpachi's killing of the former 11th Captain to gain his spot) Tousen seemed like a noble person with good values. He's not one for violence, etc and thus never seemed like he fits in well with Aizen's goals and stance on the world.
Then again, that whole setup of Tousen's 'good' character could have all just been to better shock us all when he went turncoat, and the whole 'obvious evilness' of Gin could serve as the same sort of shock value for when/if Gin turns back to the good side.
We'll know soon enough. How long till 303 comes out? 1 more day?
