Very interesting and quite original. The most intriguing part IMHO that all character seem to stay IC given circumstances. I'd imagine that hadn't been easy to write...

Will there be other characters from different dimention except an Aizen? I guess Espada are combination of both dimentions Hollows, but what about other people and not so people?

I was looking at your author's notes, and it occured to me that a Gillian beating a lieutenant is not really that impossible. The difference between a Gillian and other Menos Grande is usually the fact that none of the souls within is dominant. Even the nineth espada, whose name I do not even want to try to understand, did not have a strong personality of his(its?) own. It cannot be entirely about power, or the nineth espada would probably not have made it to such a high rank.

At the end of this chapter, it seems like Yuzu and Karin are simply Menos, while all of the others except for Chad are at least Adjuchas (I know I just mangles that spelling), and since there seems to be no danger of regressing into mindlessness, possibly even weak Vasto Lorde.

Excellent. I sense a the beginnings of an epic conclusion fight approaching, and am eagerly awaiting it.

I like the particular way you write (I mean sentance form and word choice). It's like a novel, in a way.

Awesome fun. Hollow Ichigo rampage. Is it wrong I was thinking 'Kurosaki SMASH!' like hulk there for a second?

Also, Aizen's a jerk. Totally got his character there.

This story is so cool. I have to stop now, and study. This makes me sad.

Let me say though, that it's a really good idea for a bleach AU and accomplishes everything on the 'good idea' checklist including legitimate story-relevant reasons for big badass cool stuff.

You're a genius. I'm super happy karin's back. I was honestly worried she was going to go down a super-dark path and such

I really love this fic. Though the best moment so far is, in my opinion, Chad returning Orihime and Rukia to Soul Society with that sheepish apology, followed by the captain's "we could use more Hollows like that."

Just so I am clear, the remaining captains are Hitsugaya, Unohana, Soifon, Zaraki, Byakkuya, and Yoruichi, right?
Would Urahara's continued existence cause a problem? (If so, I suspect Ichigo's entire "family" would be willing to eliminate that problem.)

I am also a little confused about what precisely Yuzu is, and where. She is not actually IN Soul Society, right? I would think that would be far too dangerous. Also, I know she is primarily a Shinigami, but in this first chapter, you said that both of the twins had Hollow-holes. So, is she some sort of natural Arrancar, a Hollowed out Shinigami, or even a Shinigami-filled Hollow?

Since Momo now knows that Aizen is not HER Aizen, and since she cannot function without Aizen's approval, I wonder how long it will take before she has a nervous breakdown actually having to think for herself, or if she will still go to the other Aizen for approval of things that do not involve finding HER Aizen.

Ah, since you don't read the PMs I thought I might respond to your review response with a review. I thought about waiting for the fic to update, but then realized that could be a long time, since you have so many stories. It's already been a while but I didn't decide against waiting for this to update immediately.

First, about this chapter: Why does Rukia think there's any reason for Ichigo's sword to be a recognizable type. Yes, there are a lot of swords that have element (or animal, I suppose) types, but then there are things like Senbonzakura and so on.

As for your response:
I look forward to your reasons.

When I said 'spell type', I meant that it imposes a magic rule upon the world rather than working through a recognizable physical medium. There's no poison in the world that would require you to hit exactly the same spot twice to take effect, whereas "I hit things with my sword and then something happens" is exactly how Kira's sword Wabinusuke works and that's magic, not poison.

Oh and back to Manga Barragan for a second: If the Espada he took with him didn't stand a fair chance of crushing captains, Aizen would be a moron because he had over a century to study their powers and they've never even seen those of his allies. Plus, he had access to the sealed records of Central 46, so all in all he should know what he's up against pretty well. And Barragan was a Vasto Lorde (which is supposed to be stronger than a captain to begin with) enhanced by an Arrancar transformation.

Wonderweiss may be the strongest of the Arrancar. He may not be, since Stark wasn't really trying that hard and Ukitake's ill. But he's at least as powerful as Ulquiorra. I say this because many of the low level Espada were created with Aizen's technology and NOT the Hougyoku. Examples: Nnoitra, Apollo (because that's the Greek god of medicine and Aporro makes no sense), and Nel all have back stories that are supposed to have happened too long ago to be after the Soul Society Arc, this logically means the oldest Espada Aronerio is also pre-Hougyoku. We don't know how old the others are.
If Arrancar power comes from their power as a Hollow+ the 'completeness' of their Arrancar transformation+ experience/training afterwards, then Wondeweiss has a clear advantage because his transformation used the MacGuffin Aizen stole. Especially since it's possible some of the other high level Espada also predate the Hougyoku. As for rankings, he's probably just too new to have one (remember we actually got to see him transform, unlike the others, so he's at most a couple months old in his new form).

Sorry for the ranting.

This is really cool! But I have to comment on your translations, if someone hasn't already. KyoukaSuigetsu is the name of Aizen's Zanpakutou, so I think it would be a bad idea using that. But you could use something alike it since you're kind of connecting Rukia with Aizen.

Dang I was hoping for a kenpachi hoe-down. Oh well.

I'm surprised to see you hit the ground running with my idea. I think that's the first time I've been singled out in author's notes. It's nifty.

It's interesting to see you're upping the ante anywhere and everywhere. Aaroniero's zanpakuto combinations are disgustingly powerful (not to say it's a bad idea) and I can only imagine what a bunch of power-houses like the Captains are going to do with even more power at their disposal. Speaking of which, one wonders how Uryuu's plan will come off. It's bound to work but I find myself wondering if they'll get some swanky upgrades, like Yuzu getting herself a zanpakuto.

I don't believe the conversation Hinamori overhead about Aizen. He's Mr. Back Up Plan, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's all a convoluted scheme to bring about some obscure goal.

Finally, Aaroniero's remarks really struck me the most this chapter. His talk of Mayuri's toxins makes him sound like a time-traveler who has battled Mayuri in another space-time. Given the themes of death the Espada now carry, it's not as out-of-left-field as it would have been otherwise. But that's just me rattling off a theory. I'm sure you'll throw plenty of more curve balls at us.

that was cool giving Nemu her father zanpakuto update when you have the chance.

Great chapter I really enjoyed it and I look forward to the next one.

I had to leave you a review because you have done an awesome job at creating this AU story. I am so enthralled with the developments thus far. I hope you update soon. Keep up the awesome job. I love Rukia and her hollow :-)

with the mask thing, do they hav eit in real life or is is just in their spirit forms? Or is it only in their mindscape? Please clarify! story needs some action!
