Good chapter.However, I strongly suspect this is all an illusion. This would explain Ichigo's blank look. It's possible that He is watching Aizen slowly slash each captain, as each captain is blankly stairing into space. That would be more ultimate.
I like Aizen's character.
This is great, although it doesn't leave a lot of room for Deus Ex-ing the good guys back into the winners' circle.
I'm going to rejoin the chorus of voices pushing for an Unohana Bankai immediately.

I'm almost positive that this whole thing stabbed through the chest thing with Aizen is some sort of illusion.

I agree.
It would be quite awesome if Unohana pushed Aizen to the brink of death. I wouldn't mind at all if Aizen had a second release vizard/hallow form that gave him regeneration that gave him a big edge over Unohana. I just want Unohana's hot (old, but young looking) ass to lose her shit and finally show us why Shunsui and Ukitake are afraid of her.
Aizen's power can take control of the body's senses, right? If that is true, then wouldn't it also include tactile and kinesthetic considerations? As in, regardless of the characters' initial awareness of each others' respective positions, he could fool themselves into fighting each other simply by feeding them false information about how far they'd moved, even if they ignored all sense input and fought with only memory of the battlefield.
That would explain why Ichigo is dumbstruck: Toshiro just stabbed [girl Vaizard] in the neck.
In the interest of having an original thought, I'd like to endorse a reappearance of Ishida's father, possibly with another [Quincy ritual] win button (that fails, of course) that interfaces nicely with Ichigo's father. Those two have a potential dynamic that could be very interesting, if the arc continues long enough for them to meet.

You're right...Aizen's hypnosis is absolute. Even when you're aware of the illusion you can't escape the effects. If Issin and Ryuken were to meet up in battle, they would probably show up with the Urahara Shoten for an even better combo.
I probably should have figured Stark was undeserving but was it because of him being that weak or was Kyoraku just beasty like that?
i dunno but if you compare espadas 0, 1, and 3 to people like grimmjow and ulquiorra they seem to be really weak. i think ulq. and grimmjow could probably defeat all three of them without much difficulty... hallibel especially seemed to be just so lame. even hitsugaya managed to beat her fair and square on his own. if it wasnt for aizen and wonderweiss showing up she would have been dead for sure
if i got to choose the positions it would 0. barrgean 1. ulquiorra 3. grimmjow 4. i guess stark or yammy so on and so fourth.

The name of his rapid-attack is "Infinite Ammunition Hollow Flash", which i'm assuming describes the properties as well.I really do think it's a shame Starrk died pretty easily. He was my favorite of the Espada.
It's figurative, really. If he could fire infinite shots, he'd have infinite rieryoku/reiatsu. I thought I had forgotten a line or something, where Starrk says he has infinite shots.

He fired a thousand shots in one second and it didn't tire him at all. I really, really doubt continuous firing will do him any harm.
Infinite fallacy.
A regular cero is nothing to an arrancar. The higher level cero's make the lower level ones look like nothing. Ichigo could walk right through a regular cero and could tank Ulq's far stronger regular ceros.
Yeah, and these WERE shots from a high-level arrancar... in fact, the highest level of all arrancars.
It doesn't matter if he literally has infinite ammo, but it is effectively infinite since he can rapid-fire thousands without tiring. Firing ceros would take a ridiculously long amount of time for him to run out of shots, so it really is no hindrance in battle.
Even if all of that is true, I still want to know how Kyoraku could tank a point blank cero from Stark? That just really didn't make sense to me. I still think that Hitsugaya's victory was mostly due to fanservice. I mean c'mon, Ulquiorra gave Ichigo the wrath hell but Toshiro come out his battle virtually unscratched.
Maybe Stark's infinite ceroes were just regular ones but were instantaneous. Even if that were true, Shunsui should've needed to dodge due to Stark's high rank. I still don't like how the so called top 3 espada died like dogs though.

Incorrect. He is the second highest. And, there was nothing to suggest that his Cero's weren't just plain ol' regular ceros. However, there was for Ulq's as his were not regular ceros (the one Ichigo tanked before he went Vizard form.)

In this, we agree. Glad we came to a middle ground.

You're correct. Remember Ukitake grabbing the girls Cero with his bare hand and telling her it was as powerful as a gillian's? That pretty much proves that Ceros are on different levels...even before we get to named cero attacks.
I would put Starrk's regular gun ceros on a higher level than most regular ceros...but Ichigo, Kenpachi, Yamamoto, Aizen, etc. should be able to tank those shots, just fine.
