Like... Yeah, I get it. Some of them are really, really hard!

But even if we always think of Aizen when talking about Hadō 90, Kurohitsugi. But in all honesty, other Shinigami can learn this!

We know that over certain numbers, it takes more Shinigami to do so.

But we also know Shinigami can and will grow in power by constant training.

We see Byakuya using Byakurai (4) and Sokatsui (33) often because it's the ones who play better into his fighting style. We also see him pulling a Bakudo 82, Danku that actually can shield him from ANY Kido up to 89!

(Would have been nice to use against Äs Nödt, I'm just saying...)

And every single Shinigami can learn Kido...

Every single one of them!

But Kubo was only interested in "Ichigo waves blade. Boom!"

Because if he truly was constructing a Growth story, Ichigo would have been taught Kido as well, since it would have been fucking useful along his fights...

Ichigo has the power to fucking learn Kurohitsugi and other Kido over 90!

But Kubo never expands on these more interesting parts of Shinigami abilities.

Hadō

"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south!" Hadō #31. Shakkahō

"Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws." Hadō #33. Sōkatsui 

"Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle!" Hadō #63. Raikōhō

"Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired" Hadō #91. Senjū Kōten Taihō
