@Desert Winds It was a mirror sword. Reflected his power and created a paradox. The X-Axis can pierce anything, but Lille couldn't get pierced. He was removed from Seireitei off-screen because health.
and dont forget the fact that Aizen was fused with the Hogyoku when Gin used the poison on him...while ichigo never hit Aizen with getsuga after he fused.
@@maestrofrags3436 Ya probably Gin should've moved earlier, or just he couldn't since the start. Dunno actually. At least he helped Ichigo out a little on getting stronger, in their duel
Uh, the Hougyoku did repair Ichigo's damage as it did with Gin. Both times all Gin and Ichigo acomplished was help Aizen evolve to the next level. The only difference is that Ichigo pushed Aizen to the point where either a) the hougyoku abandoned Aizen, no longer finding him worthy as Urahara claimed. Or b) Aizen secretly wanted to lose and the hougyoku forfilled that subconscious wish as Ichigo claimed.
Oh he did more than make her cry. Apparently he extracted a portion of her over soul which means that her overall power is limited and how knows she might even have a shorter lifespan for a soul reaper because of it. He basically crippled her
he never lied he just never said the full extent of his shikai because he has 2 releases. Half Shikai= Physical type, True Shikai= Kido type most Vice captain or lower Shinigami have half shikai, 1. Yumichika 2. Rukia 3. Hisagi and even Captains like Byakuya never fully realize the shikai true power till very late in the series
@@raizelshadez3122 He pretty much did lie, his Shikai as you mentioned was always intended to be a Kido Type which he knows he just didn't want to leave Squad 11 since it's a unspoken rule that you need to have a Physical Type Zanpakuto. So yeah he kinda did.
@@raizelshadez3122 He said like something "When I use this command to release my shikai, it is offended by the disrespect and it just releases half of the shikai (multiple blades)" Because his zanpakto is like flower based and has high ideal of its own beauty that when he calls for it with the first command it gets mad and only does half of the shikai. And he was just keeping it secret because "My captain would laugh at it"
He needed Hinamori and Toshiro and everyone to suspect Gin as the bad guy and his enemy so that everyone suspects him as his murderer.Otherwise his death all of a sudden wouldn't make any sense. Because everyone's attention was constantly on Gin everyone investigated him while Aizen could carry out his plan in the shadows. Gin became the target of everyone's suspicion and he successfully distracted everyone from any other clue which mi8 point out to a different direction.
@@bancon666 Tosen did help in tricking Kensei and his team so that Aizen can experiment on them. Besides Aizen explains this at the end of HUECO MUNDO arc.He said that all the captain's of the 13 court guard squads were capable of being skilled warheads.With Gin and Tosen along with himself he had 3 captains already in the opposition and then he trapped 4 others (Kenpachi, Byakuya, Mayuri, Unohana) in HUECO MUNDO.He effectively reduced Soul Society's strength to half.
I fucking love Gin!!! I use him as an example quite often when discussing fiction with my friends. He is just one of those characters thats absolutely boss!! And his character design is amazing!!
Gin Ichimaru the true hero of Bleach. And his zanpakuto still bad@$$! Shinso did have a good deal of attacks in the Bleach games which sounded pretty cool. Great video! I miss Gin!!!
@James E. There is still the question of what happens to Gin, what happens to the hogeoku, Ichigo never loses his powers, fullbringer arch is changed, and Aizen is never there for the final battle against ywach. I'm sure there is much more.
@James E. Given that ichigo would have his dangai + mugetsu powers available to him in the war, he'd probably kill yhwach during their first encounter after yhwach had killed yama
Honestly, I would expect Gin to _downplay_ his abilities and give lower numbers than the actual ability so as to trick his opponent into underestimating him; like saying it can go one hundred swords lengths but it actually goes further so people will think they're safe when their still inside his range. Same with his Bankai.
"Why the hell would I explain how it works?" I just recently watched bleach, and that was my thought during most of the fights, where they do exactly that. Especially when ulquiorra told ichigo how to kill him.
Ulquiorra was like the one case apart from Kyoraku (who likely is forced to explain the games so it's actually a game) where I excused this, because his whole thing was throwing Ichigo into despair. Imagine telling someone exactly what to hit, and then having them fail anyway.
Gin is one of my favorite characters of all time, he made such a huge sacrifice and honestly nobody really even knew about it and he didn’t even care that everyone thought he was an evil traitor
I've always thought of gin as a ruthless killer but extremely loyal to his friends. He was willing to give up everything to avenge his friend. He didnt care who he had to kill to get the chance to avenge her
Gin: The samurai sniper I'm liking the bankai vids Minazuki seems to blood-let her opponent, instantly killing them, then replenishing their blood, reviving them, if she chooses to.
For me, his best moments with his zanpakuto were his initial release of his shikai against Ichigo, slicing Hiyori in half (only in the manga), and his attempt to kill Aizen.
Just because something can kill someone on that level doesn't necessarily mean that it will. Besides, this does show that the Hogyoku is quite effective and why Aizen wanted it in the first place.
Sweet new bleach video! I love Gin hes one of my top 5 from bleach. I wish there was a resurrection spell to bring him back just for a romance arc with Rangiku.
According to the 13 Blades guidebook, Gin's Bankai also has the hidden ability of "extend further to extend quickly." So he can decide how long to extend it and the further he extends it, the faster it is.
This series is absolutely phenomenal and mesmerising, please don't stop doing this! It's genuinely entertaining, and it gets me super pumped to watch/read bleach again! Thank you for the wonderful video my man!! Keep it up!
The name of Gin's Shikai and Bankai pretty much gave away his intentions . . . . His Bankai's also symbolic of a venomous snake striking it's prey . . . . You also have to wonder, with the nature of how he used his sword, it's similar to how someone would use a gun . . . .
I have a theory about why Gin betrayed Aizen when he did, if Gin attacked Aizen with the shinigami captains and main characters around, Aizen would use Kyouka Suigetsu on the captains to attack Gin (like how Hinamori got attacked), he needed to be alone so Aizen couldn't make someone else attack him.
Gin's death was a masterwork of writing. For most of the series, he just feels like this one-note "creepy" villain/second-in-command that's probably going to go out in the penultimate battle before Aizen (either at the hands of Ichigo or one of his friends) and that's it. But then there's just this quiet moment where he grabs Aizen's sword leaving you confused for a moment before suddenly BAM Bankai through the gut, Gin reveals himself true Bankai ability, does more damage to Aizen that pretty much any character in the series, steals the Hogyoku, has a flashback explaining his past, and gets killed with Rangiku crying over his body. And, suddenly, within literally a single episode/a couple chapters every single thing you know about the character is completely upended and you're left heartbroken at the death of a character who you didn't even have any connection with not two episodes before. THAT is good writing. I know people like to say Kubo's a bad writer, but I feel he's like the author of Fairy Tail. When the writing's bad, it's bad but you keep going for posterity's sake. But when it's good, the writing is some of the best in the medium. And Gin's death was a master stroke of writing and oh-so good.
Unohanas Bankai ability is more simbolic than physical. I heard that her ability just erases the line between life and death, and the hole skeleton thing is just how you feel it, to be dead and alive at the same time. You don't really lose your skin or melding to death. You just seeing and feeling it like this and while you in this condition, Unohana can fight ENDLESSLY, but when she deactivates it, the one who was more closer to death stays behind the line between life and death and then just dies, or if all who was affected by her bankai, including herself not so close to death everybody just leaves this condition and she can just end the fight.
I like to think that even in its Shikai state it would momentarily turn into dust. But that's mostly because I'll look for any link to tie Gin and Rangiku closer together. Both had swords that would turn into dust when released.
So if Gin's Bankai extends up to 13 kms if I remember correctly then can he really see or detect enemies spiritual pressures up to that distance. Are his senses that sharp to remain active over such a long range?
Rhitambhar Goswami he said it went this far but I think that was just a lie he told about his bankai when he was hiding the fact it was a poison bankai and not a speed one
@@JBuns02 But he did slash through an entire town and buildings over a large radius.Even if the destruction was due to poison it indicates that the sword indeed stretch long at incredible speed.
Rhitambhar Goswami no doubt it does have incredible extension and retraction speed and length I don’t disagree with that I was just saying I think the figure of 13km was just a number thrown out there as gin was being deceiving and I think it’s most likely shorter then that
@@JBuns02 Oh ok I understand. His is a really strange sword btw.Most bankais are extension of their shikais and have similar but more advanced powers. It's strange his shikai has no poison abilities but his bankai has a very powerful one.Maybe he lied abt his shikai as well.
I thought Unohana's Ban Kai used blood to melt the targets flesh. I mean that's pretty much what she did to Kenpachi so I dont get all the confusion. Her whole theme is body fluids cause the first release is the manta thing that uses stomach acid or saliva to heal people. So that's like her new persona while the full release is her old savage self. Which makes me wonder if the Shi Kai was originally brutal and aggressive. It did look pretty intimidating. As for the Gin/Rangiku thing Kubo as usual only scraped the surface and left a lot of questions. It was implied that she had piece of her soul gouged out to feed the Hogyoku. Aizen explained that his version of Hogyoku was made up of amalgamated Shinigami souls. That makes more sense than just reiatsu and why Gin would go to some extremes for revenge. It has massive implications too but Kubo went nowhere with it
I had no idea you were making Bleach videos again! I've never clicked on a video so fast in my life. I'm subbed to you but somehow youtube hasn't been showing me your videos
So when Isshin slays Grand Fisher (arrancar), and even before that I believe, it's stated that soul reapers ~can~ control the size/ shape of their sword, and in fact need to by the time they reach lieutenant and captain levels. As such, couldn't any seated reaper use their unreleased sword as a nerfed Shinso?
They probably won’t be able to lift it or even fight with it because it would be too big to use. It’s just like lifting weights. Say you’re able to lift 230 pounds but you would move very slowly and have to focus way too much where as if you lift something light like 90 pounds you can lift it so easily you can run and jump with it. That’s what soul reapers do. That’s why Ichigo has to use two hands with his sword.
"One more piece of unfinished business." When Gin put tne piece of his sword in aizen. Get rid of more from the sentence and you get One piece. "Buried in the depth of his bankai." Buried in the depth of aizens chest more like it. "Gin is a master of deception." Then what is Aizen because his shikai is literally deception. Nice jokes Tekking.
If the sword retracted faster than Ichigo was able to realize, then wouldn’t it technically be faster than light because the eyes take in light to register where things are in their vicinity?
The most ironic part about gin is that if he didn't act and betray Aizen when he did and just played along for another 5 minutes, dangai ichigo would have showed up, beat Aizens ass and gin would have never of died.
I didn't really care for gin when he was introduced, his shikai seemed underwhelming compared to the others we see in the soul society arc, but omg his redemption and hidden plan made him one of my favorite characters instantly
At first I thought he was weird but during the fight between him and Ichigo my thoughts changed I found him interesting. However right now he is for sure one of my fav characters that why I really wished we got more info on his backstory and more scenes with him and Rangiku showing their relationship.
I feel like gin’s zanpacto spirit would look like one of the snake sages from naruto. Shinso vs wailing dark(sword used by August in asura’s wrath. Shinji is a good example of explaining his abilities lol.
Gin is actually a fox, not a snake. The snake is a ruse. Kira (to an extent) is the only who knows Gin's true kind nature. (Gin's eyes are similar to a japenese fox),
I do indeed. What even funnier is that in the English dub, toshiro once mispronounced kido as Kaido and then it later turned out to be an actual thing.
He needed to be in a position where he could touch his sword ( no homo) and then immediately stab him while concealing his own sword ( again no homo but a little rapey)
I remember the first time I saw Gin for some reason the first thing I said in my head was “oh it’s a kitsune”. Then I realized I could’ve just said “oh it’s a fox” and proceeded to rethink what I was doing with my life 😂
Honestly never believed Gin was dead because rongeku wanted to see his body outside of squad 3 base I believe. I also believe even if his sword was basic, many people couldn't counter it. Remember, he was schooling Ichigo...before they returned to the soul society. The fight between him and Toshiro was epic also...
After the captains I hope you do some of the other characters abilities in depth, I'd love to see a Ichigo's true bankai video part 2, maybe you could talk about all the theories on what it is? Can't wait till the next video.
"except that guy" LOL, if I hadn't started with "The rising of the Shield Hero" I wouldn't know who that was... and you should totally watch this anime, never seen a main-char being screwed over in a story this much before
@@InvokingPeace I don't recommend it. The manga is great, the anime (90s version excluded) hurts my eyes. It's literally more enjoyable to read the fight scenes in the Manga as the author drew them better than the animators animated it lmfao.
@@InvokingPeace, if you want to try and watch the anime to start with don't let me dissuade you, or at least compare their really bad cgi to the manga to understand what I mean xD
Kami Shini no Yari is actually very interesting when you consider something. Gin spent his entire life planning to kill someone who's goal was to because a god. Also for those of you who don't Know, the original bleach Databook stated Bankai Ichigo was lightning fast so the idea that Gin's Bankai is only faster than sound is really stupid. There are actually a number of light speed feats so Gin is *a lot faster* than sound.
His swords name and abilities are petty symbolic. He is the snake in the grass and Shinso is his fang, the poison is fitting for him and his ability. his whole purpose became to kill Aizen who later became a god like figure. Nimaya said that the asauchi is imprinted with the will and soul of the shinigami to become his zanpaktou. Really it makes perfect sense why his sword is named God killing spear. and even why it became what it became.
Anyone remember when Gin tied up kenpachi and pulled him away with no effort? Good times
When Gin hits fuck it.
Jon Laury yup, very good times
Man I was so into Bleach at that point... The world building in bleach is amazing
which episode?

Bye bye. Loved that scene
He also had a cool fight with Hitsugaya right before the official betrayal
@James E. Bye-bye now:)
Best part of bleach tbh
Gin's Bankai is the God killing Spear. It didn't even kill Aizen. Gin should get a refund.
Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou can't shoot that far into the sky either XD
it's all Oetsu Nimaiya fault... god damn rip off
@Desert Winds It was a mirror sword. Reflected his power and created a paradox. The X-Axis can pierce anything, but Lille couldn't get pierced. He was removed from Seireitei off-screen because health.
@Desert Winds No problem
He bought it from Craigslist. So yeah!
Gin destroys Aizen's cells
Hougyoku: meh
Ichigo hits aizen rlly hard

Me too
Gin was actually my fav. Other badass characters that have their eyes closed for the most part are Rinko from Kingdom and Razor from HxH!
Definitely my favorite
Him and Ulquiorra are the best tbh
The thing i always loved about Gin was that everything he did, he did it because Aizen made Rangiku cry..or so he says
A real man...my man Gin💚...RIP
Didn't he also steal like half of her soul or smth
He wanted to get back what Aizen stole from Rangiku.
Bet he made Rangiku cry when he extended his "sword" in them guts
Oh he did more than make her cry. Apparently he extracted a portion of her over soul which means that her overall power is limited and how knows she might even have a shorter lifespan for a soul reaper because of it. He basically crippled her
Didnt yumichika technically lie about his Zanpaktou too, granted it was just for the reason to stay in the 11th squadron
Yeah
he never lied he just never said the full extent of his shikai because he has 2 releases.
Half Shikai= Physical type, True Shikai= Kido type
most Vice captain or lower Shinigami have half shikai,
1. Yumichika
2. Rukia
3. Hisagi
and even Captains like Byakuya never fully realize the shikai true power till very late in the series
@@raizelshadez3122 He pretty much did lie, his Shikai as you mentioned was always intended to be a Kido Type which he knows he just didn't want to leave Squad 11 since it's a unspoken rule that you need to have a Physical Type Zanpakuto. So yeah he kinda did.
@@raizelshadez3122 He said like something "When I use this command to release my shikai, it is offended by the disrespect and it just releases half of the shikai (multiple blades)"

And he was just keeping it secret because "My captain would laugh at it"
Squad 11 has its own rules and ideas. Sadly some of them tend not to work very well for some people.
Since Gin always had his eyes shut, was he never affected by Aizen's Sword?
James Dayton He was holding Aizen’s sword, which negated its powers, like Gin himself said.
That’s probably the reason why Aizen chose to have kaname and gin as allies honestly
All scenes are affected if you're not touching the sword.
Why else do you think he kept his eyes shut?
@@Tomer_nur because...he did?
*claps hands*
It's 500 times that.
That was so badass🔥🔥
And even then gin was lying to ichigo considering that bleach characters are FTL
Why did Aizen use Tosen and Gin as his allies when he defected?
He didn't want them to SEE his true plan.
I'll let myself out...
Good one
Even though aizen, could have easily beat them without his shikai.
He needed Hinamori and Toshiro and everyone to suspect Gin as the bad guy and his enemy so that everyone suspects him as his murderer.Otherwise his death all of a sudden wouldn't make any sense.

You also have to wonder, with the nature of how he used his sword, it's similar to how someone would use a gun . . . .
I have a theory about why Gin betrayed Aizen when he did, if Gin attacked Aizen with the shinigami captains and main characters around, Aizen would use Kyouka Suigetsu on the captains to attack Gin (like how Hinamori got attacked), he needed to be alone so Aizen couldn't make someone else attack him.
Sarah Ord they were alone thousands of times before. Gin needed to learn kyogasuigetsu s weakness
Gin's death was a masterwork of writing.

Maybe "chimaru" means snake in other language😂
Except gin can kill orochimaru anytime he wanted
Thank you for keeping my bleach stoke going. I love the videos man keep it going
So if Gin's Bankai extends up to 13 kms if I remember correctly then can he really see or detect enemies spiritual pressures up to that distance.
Are his senses that sharp to remain active over such a long range?
Rhitambhar Goswami he said it went this far but I think that was just a lie he told about his bankai when he was hiding the fact it was a poison bankai and not a speed one
@@JBuns02 But he did slash through an entire town and buildings over a large radius.Even if the destruction was due to poison it indicates that the sword indeed stretch long at incredible speed.
Rhitambhar Goswami no doubt it does have incredible extension and retraction speed and length I don’t disagree with that I was just saying I think the figure of 13km was just a number thrown out there as gin was being deceiving and I think it’s most likely shorter then that
@@JBuns02 Oh ok I understand.
His is a really strange sword btw.Most bankais are extension of their shikais and have similar but more advanced powers.
It's strange his shikai has no poison abilities but his bankai has a very powerful one.Maybe he lied abt his shikai as well.
His is the fastest there is and it turns to dust which gives it such a speed and recoil
Came back to this video. Remembering the room where it all began
I thought Unohana's Ban Kai used blood to melt the targets flesh. I mean that's pretty much what she did to Kenpachi so I dont get all the confusion. Her whole theme is body fluids cause the first release is the manta thing that uses stomach acid or saliva to heal people. So that's like her new persona while the full release is her old savage self. Which makes me wonder if the Shi Kai was originally brutal and aggressive. It did look pretty intimidating.
As for the Gin/Rangiku thing Kubo as usual only scraped the surface and left a lot of questions. It was implied that she had piece of her soul gouged out to feed the Hogyoku. Aizen explained that his version of Hogyoku was made up of amalgamated Shinigami souls. That makes more sense than just reiatsu and why Gin would go to some extremes for revenge. It has massive implications too but Kubo went nowhere with it
I had no idea you were making Bleach videos again! I've never clicked on a video so fast in my life.
I'm subbed to you but somehow youtube hasn't been showing me your videos
Gin is easily one of the coolest characters in Bleach
I’m not only liking this, I am loving this!
So when Isshin slays Grand Fisher (arrancar), and even before that I believe, it's stated that soul reapers ~can~ control the size/ shape of their sword, and in fact need to by the time they reach lieutenant and captain levels. As such, couldn't any seated reaper use their unreleased sword as a nerfed Shinso?
They probably won’t be able to lift it or even fight with it because it would be too big to use. It’s just like lifting weights. Say you’re able to lift 230 pounds but you would move very slowly and have to focus way too much where as if you lift something light like 90 pounds you can lift it so easily you can run and jump with it. That’s what soul reapers do. That’s why Ichigo has to use two hands with his sword.
@@theloserest7300 zanpakuto are weightless for their owners
Best channel in here, by far
"One more piece of unfinished business."
When Gin put tne piece of his sword in aizen.
Get rid of more from the sentence and you get One piece.
"Buried in the depth of his bankai."
Buried in the depth of aizens chest more like it.
"Gin is a master of deception."
Then what is Aizen because his shikai is literally deception.
Nice jokes Tekking.
The video I have been waiting for.
Justice for Gin Ichimaru.... We want more Gin Ichimaru screen time 😁
glad to see the bleach vids back. squad 3 had some cool blades.
For a brief moment Gin and Rangiku were "together" inside of Aizen.
God. I forget. How were they?
Yutu have won a subscribble. I love this channel
If the sword retracted faster than Ichigo was able to realize, then wouldn’t it technically be faster than light because the eyes take in light to register where things are in their vicinity?
Nope. Same way a bullet from a gun is faster than our eyes can perceive, but nowhere near the speed of light.
i remember i was so hyped when he slightly opened his eyes in that fight against toshiro
The most ironic part about gin is that if he didn't act and betray Aizen when he did and just played along for another 5 minutes, dangai ichigo would have showed up, beat Aizens ass and gin would have never of died.
Being gin is suffering
Damn it Kubo!
Anybody else appreciates Tekking's dedication to his cold opens?
I didn't really care for gin when he was introduced, his shikai seemed underwhelming compared to the others we see in the soul society arc, but omg his redemption and hidden plan made him one of my favorite characters instantly
It seemed weak cus thats what he wants people to think. He wants ti be underestimated
These videos do everything for my soul
Gin was my first favorite anime character ever 😢
So glad you doing this by getting the itch for some Bleach
Best Tekking and best traitor boy Gin
At first I thought he was weird but during the fight between him and Ichigo my thoughts changed I found him interesting. However right now he is for sure one of my fav characters that why I really wished we got more info on his backstory and more scenes with him and Rangiku showing their relationship.
"Get Wrecked Shinjo" you forgot the abriged version
Gin nd itachi definitely the unsung heros of the anime world
I feel like gin’s zanpacto spirit would look like one of the snake sages from naruto.
Shinso vs wailing dark(sword used by August in asura’s wrath.
Shinji is a good example of explaining his abilities lol.
Orochimaru is Gin's Zanpakuto spirit.
Gin is actually a fox, not a snake. The snake is a ruse. Kira (to an extent) is the only who knows Gin's true kind nature. (Gin's eyes are similar to a japenese fox),
To think about it, I want to see those like Pantera, Murcielago, Suzumushi & Kyoka Suigetsu in spirit/Personified form
I love these videos revisiting Bleach. It makes me want to reread the series.
tekking do you remember the healing technique : kaido ?
I do indeed. What even funnier is that in the English dub, toshiro once mispronounced kido as Kaido and then it later turned out to be an actual thing.
There are four emperors, one of which is Kaido, Kaido is used by the 4th division, coincidence I think not!
All hail Gin and Tekking! Tnx for that
Gin never got to show Rangiku his other Bankai.
It will also probably be long, maybe 13 too? ;)
@@syabiba114 He also never got to release his spiritual pressure.
I'm pretty sure he did.... at least I hope so
He probably did that maybe once.at least adult toshiro is probably hitting that RN lmao
I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING THIS 😭
Quick question: Why didnt Gin attempt to kill Aizen before he implanted the Hougyouku in his body... he would've killed Aizen for sure...right?
So a series could happen. Gin GOAT ❤️❤️
He needed to be in a position where he could touch his sword ( no homo) and then immediately stab him while concealing his own sword ( again no homo but a little rapey)
I remember the first time I saw Gin for some reason the first thing I said in my head was “oh it’s a kitsune”. Then I realized I could’ve just said “oh it’s a fox” and proceeded to rethink what I was doing with my life 😂
Gin was my favorite character from Bleach!
Honestly never believed Gin was dead because rongeku wanted to see his body outside of squad 3 base I believe. I also believe even if his sword was basic, many people couldn't counter it. Remember, he was schooling Ichigo...before they returned to the soul society. The fight between him and Toshiro was epic also...
I didn’t want to kill Gin, but he forced me to do so. How unfortunate.
Aizen the troll king meh you just love screwing people over
After the captains I hope you do some of the other characters abilities in depth, I'd love to see a Ichigo's true bankai video part 2, maybe you could talk about all the theories on what it is? Can't wait till the next video.
"except that guy" LOL, if I hadn't started with "The rising of the Shield Hero" I wouldn't know who that was... and you should totally watch this anime, never seen a main-char being screwed over in a story this much before
Berserk
@@bboywolf haven't watched that one yet, but in due time
@@InvokingPeace I don't recommend it. The manga is great, the anime (90s version excluded) hurts my eyes. It's literally more enjoyable to read the fight scenes in the Manga as the author drew them better than the animators animated it lmfao.
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken thanks for the info, will start with the manga I guess
@@InvokingPeace, if you want to try and watch the anime to start with don't let me dissuade you, or at least compare their really bad cgi to the manga to understand what I mean xD
Kami Shini no Yari is actually very interesting when you consider something. Gin spent his entire life planning to kill someone who's goal was to because a god.
Also for those of you who don't Know, the original bleach Databook stated Bankai Ichigo was lightning fast so the idea that Gin's Bankai is only faster than sound is really stupid. There are actually a number of light speed feats so Gin is *a lot faster* than sound.
I love his zanpakuto.
Gin should have killed aizen, he was the only miss placed piece in aizen's plan.
His swords name and abilities are petty symbolic. He is the snake in the grass and Shinso is his fang, the poison is fitting for him and his ability. his whole purpose became to kill Aizen who later became a god like figure. Nimaya said that the asauchi is imprinted with the will and soul of the shinigami to become his zanpaktou. Really it makes perfect sense why his sword is named God killing spear. and even why it became what it became.
