so like, the whole disaster of that field training, was it part of Aizen’s plans?
Like I don’t remember how much control he had over Hollows already but he possibly could be idk, releasing them somewhere on purpose right?
Because then if he comes to save the students, who are desperate and on the brink of death, then they’re gonna respect the hell out of him and all right? So that puts the first gears for, let’s say, Hinamori’s entire trust and faith in him, as well as Kira’s for Gin, right? As for Renji (and I guess Hisagi too), even if he doesn’t end up as the two others do, it still puts Aizen and Gin in a favorable place for him (he saved them! Of course he’s not a bad guy!)
this is what I meant the one time I said Aizen messes up my brain lmao When you know he’s a villain there’s so much you end up questioning, like, how much of everything is his doing and is everything happening as he willed it or is he just taking the opportunities that throw themselves at him (like Ichigo and the other coming to cause chaos in Soul Society)
