sorry i wrongly used the term chain of fate on the shinigami,
don't think they have. But they have something called chain link
and soul sleep, dunno what it's for. Renji explained in ep52 how
Byakuya can cut them.
i'm guessing cutting the chain link and soul sleep will make
the shinigami powerless and maybe cause the hollow to form,
just my guess....cos kensei got slashed then the mask formed.
Shinji got slashed by Hiyori and his mask also form. Probable?
- urahara has bankai, but he remarked to Renji that his bankai
is not suitable for training people. that's why he couldn't
personally train Chad.
- vizards can have bankai, 4 of them were captains 100yrs
ago. high chance (if not 100%) of them having bankai,
pre-requisites for gotei captaincy.
Hmm the slashing part is the thing I pointed out. I think it's
to do with the formation of hollows. Cos it seemed that way lor,
from the past 5 chapters.
As for why Kensei's Team 9 was out there with the 10 disappeared
vanguards, could it be Aizen's experiments? Then, I would be
interested in Urahara and Myuri's experiments already...
What was Aizen trying to do? See if shinigamis can become
hollows by slashing them? That doesnt explain how Kenpachi is still
alive despite being slashed up down left right...and MAYBE the
slashes are different from the normal slashes we see being
inflicted on the captains by Ichigo when they barged into SS?
Maybe Urahara's bankai is to counter Aizen? Possible? haha.
