Tousen, Aizen and Gin (i call them TAG, haha) were the ones that
severed Kensei's and Mashiro's chain of fate when they stabbed
them. Thus, like Ichigo they start to become hollows. Hiyori, for
reasons unknown started transforming also.....or is it that i
missed the scene where she got attacked???
Hougyoku haven't come into the picture yet in this flashbacks,
but there are many fans' theories about its true uses...very
interesting.
The remanining espada must be strong, otherwise Aizen wouldn't
be that confident to bring just 3 (making it 6 total) to fight the
hordes of shinigami + vizards.
I quite favor the vizards, just by looking at the way
Shinji wiped Grimmjaw's ass earlier on. Plus, Lisa's
cute!
Hiyori got attacked by Kensei in the very first
attack...remember?
But how did they manage to so easily hit their Chain of Fate
puzzles me. U mean, a realy physical slash on them would easily cut
off the chain of fate? Then Kenpachi's Chain must've been slashed
numerous times. lol.
