You see Aizen waving KS around like a flag for no reason any time before he got powered up by the Hogyoku and became an extremely overconfident douchebag? Instead of withdrawing his sword, he let Gin hold on to it.
He had to kill Aizen personally. Doubt SS would have allowed Gin to kill him.His plan was to get Aizen into a position where KS could be neutralized. He succeeded. There would be no point in nuking someone and sacrificing your entire crew if your enemy could just avoid it without a scratch.
Doctors aren't intelligent? 😛
Then how would Ginjo have gotten Ichigo pushed to the point where he wanted power more than anything else?
I agree. Sasuke got gipped.
Except go to Yamamoto. And they would have. His sword is tailor made for it.
Except he did. And I would have used a slightly smaller attack, so as to not kill my teammates to being with. Or create an opening for Soi-fon to do it.
Chopper.
Simple: Let Tsukishima do it instead, while Ginjo plays villain.
How I would have done it: Ichigo is regretting the lose of his powers, boo hoo. On his way home from school, he stops. We see a slash mark. Ichigo comments that he feels like he has been stabbed. We see Ginjo observing with a grin. Next day, a new kid arrives at school. Tsukishima, a friend Ichigo had made in the past. The others make a comment about he never mentioned him and Ichigo cracks back that it didn't feel important to do so. He and his old school friend catch up...and then Tsukishima reveals he knows about Ichigo losing his powers. He asks as a friend for Ichigo to trust him, and he is introduced to the Xcution like normal. Here the story plays out normally: Ichigo comments about how he felt slashed once, and Tsukihsma ponders that it is Ginjo's doing. Ginjo was a former "fullbringer" and caused the Xcution a lot of grief. Ichigo trains to regain his powers, Ginjo starts shit the way Tsukishima did in the canon, la di da. Ichigo perfects his fullbring but Tsukishima brings him startlingly news: Riruka has been captured by Ginjo. Ichigo and Tsukishima go to fight him, the Xcution coming for back up. They all fight and then...Bankai. Ginjo reveals that he has Shinigami powers. He wipes the floor with Ichigo, takes his powers, and plans to leave. Rukia, Isshin, Urahara, and the others show up. Ichigo regains his Shinigami powers. Ginjo is surrounded, all seems well...and then the Xcution stab them in the back. Tsukishima reveals his powers(with a better explanation) and shows himself to be the master mind all along. The Shinigami can't fight due to injuries and the Xcution leave, because it is complete victory for them. Ichigo gains his powers but it's a hollow victory at best. We have the new villains for the next arc, our hero is determined to get revenge against Tsukishima, and stuff.
This is how I would have handled it.
