Can't say for certain, but for the little that we see of him, Tsuchikage had some sick Jutsu. Madara and the first Hokage could probably take him though. It would've been interesting to see how a mature Minato would've fared.
I personally hope Itachi ends Sasuke. Itachi gave up his own freedom and what not so Sasuke can live free of the hardships he had to endure and he goes and does the same thing. :s If it doesn't go like that, then I can see him either teaming or with Naruto or sacrificing himself to take out Madara.
He was probably brain-washed or maybe Aizen promised him eye sight or something lame and he accepted it. I felt Tosen was an idiot as well, he could've put up a good fight with Aizen because he obviously isn't affected by his Bankai, since he can't even see.
Eh, I only watch it because I've watched it start to finish. Stuck through the fillers and all. I had high hopes for the Kageroza Arc but by the end, I couldn't wait for it to be over.
Gin over Toshiro, for sure.. PS: I don't think Aizen was all that powerful, what made him fearful was his Bankai and the fact that he was immortal near the end. Sure, Captains had trouble beating each other, but I don't think he was unbeatable without his Bankai and what not.
So, would a Zanpakuto help her or detriment her? Or maybe it's just a personal preference. Even in the flashbacks (don't know if they were filler or not) she never seemed to carry one. I have not read the Manga so I don't know if she always has one.
Besides his legendary Speed? I know he died really young so he didn't get to perfect his own Jutsu(s) and really mature as a fighter, but what else made him great?
It's probably the same as with music, dvds, etc, as long as there is a cheaper, easier way to access what you want or need, people will use that route.
Basilisk and Black Butler bored me. Couldn't get through 2 episodes of each. I still have the shows, I just have to get around to them to see if they are worthwhile.
