Why is Aizen such a ****?Follow

Where is his background story? I admit my reading has been spotty but I have this nagging feeling that they haven't explained why he decided to betray everyone. Sure, power, blah blah blah but that doesn't feel like enough. Is there a section where they really explain his background?

I dunno. I find most of the Espada easier to like than him. I like Grimmjow and his crazy ambitions.

I don't believe it myself, it's all Aizen, all the time.

There's more to it at this point than we see, I hope at least anyway. Aizen is burning through his "allies" without doing any damage mentionable whatsoever to the shinigami, apart from a couple of victims anyway but noone really all that powerful as of yet.

As for his motives, the flashbacks tend to come near an impending death or major defeat, so it could come soon.

I dunno, they're all pretty much jerks apart from that guy with the guns - though there is circumstantial evidence to suggest he likes little girls. Maybe Halibel, too, but she has less characterisation than an extra in a Godzilla movie, so it's kind of hard to tell.

I always liked Grimmjow. I mean, maybe you'd be bitter too if you spent much of your childhood as a Gillian and then some panther type animal, running around, trying not to lose your individuality. Now given the fact that Aizen got almost all of his Espada killed, even by his own hand, I don't know, I'd like to see Grimmjow (who was never actually killed) come back and stab Aizen. Just because--I mean Aizen never had to deal with all the gritty **** that the rest of the Hollows had to go through. ***** him and his bitterness.

He's been an *** since 2004. Here's another spoiler, the Titanic Sinks.

I heard that Snape killed Dumbledore.

He's obviously doing it just so he can slick his hair back, which he was unable to do until he told everyone he was evil.

I've only seen/read Bleach up until Aizen leaves Soul Society after he is outed.

It was a shame, because he was hot. :(

I too only read up to the point where Aizen left with the Menos. Then I stopped reading, then the anime came out, and then I didn't watch it...

Now I see an episode every once in a while on adult swim if I'm doing something and forget to turn the TV off. But I never have any idea where they are, or what they are doing.

If I remember the last ones, there were some little puppets like Kon, and then there were a bunch of half-hollows like Ichigo, and then there was a little tiny half hollow girl in a green caveman like outfit or something.

See, I find that stage most interesting. Not the omnipotence stage - no one likes an invincible hero - but where there are a lot of people at around the same level of strength, and they have to sort out their battles through, you know, actual tactics of some sort (though, to be fair, Naruto normally features this in any fight that's not mook slaughtering). In Bleach, we have an odd mix of power = victory virtually always, with very little tactics or swordplay beyond run really fast and hack, at least in any battle featuring Ichigo, and amazingly variable power levels. See, after Ichigo beats everyone up in the Soul Society arc, he suddenly regresses to being unable to defeat people he once beat while carved up like a pumpkin and with, if he wasn't an idiot, a single strike. So, yeah, Bleach doesn't have this stage (or the one you dislike, really) because it is written by a moron.

The masks are pretty cool, though.

Bleach needs more Szayel.

She never fights, she's just a decoy to keep the enemy's focus away from Kenpachi as he re-adjusts his hair bells.
