I won't do them in one time. So, let's begin by my beloved ninth division. :-)
Spoilers, of course, until the very last chapters.
It all began when I did a test "Which division shinigami do you belong to ?". I got 9th division, with some text saying they were the pacifists in Seireitei, and a picture of Tousen making be find that I already loved them, even if I hadn't seen them in the manga. :-) (Besides, I'm a scientist, and I absolutely didn't want to be in 12th division, so I was happy.)
OK, so I was introduced to them in the manga, and I really love pacifists, so at the beginning at least I was not disappointed - not too much. I loved Tousen's flashbacks about his dead friend, I loved how he cried when he hit Ishida, and his bankai was very scary. Of course, he wasn't shown as someone which is right, but there's just something about misguided idealisme that I love. OK, I didn't know how much it would be misguided then.
OK, Shuuhei I liked less. He was too much a decorative item for me (I often call him that ^^;; ). Of course, he seemed like a OK person. His attitude in the academy flashback was really good, first making students flee, then calling for help and then trying to buy time, there was courage that you find in almost every shinigami, but also a kind of humility, in having no shame to call for help, which is a lot rarer and which I liked. But he has no real development, less than most of the vice-captains. I was a little disappointed ; I knew he had a lot of fans, and i hadn't figured it was just for his looks. (Besides, I think that Tousen looks even better. But it's just me.)
Then tome 20.
I won't hide I was highly disapponted. Until recently, I thought I was the only one who was more disturbed by Tousen's treason than by Aizen's (I found another one since. And we agree too on the "the main reason we don't like Aizen is because it's his fault that Tousen is on the wrong side.")
I almost decided I didn't him anymore. At least, until I knew why he did that, how Aizen convinced him.
But when i saw Komamura and Hisagi talking near his friend's grave, and they were not so much angry, just sad, and they decided they would bring him back, I thought that someone who had such friends couldn't be really evil, could he ? And I loved him again. And I loved better Shuuhei, at this time. I decided there was more in him that we had been shown. Because he gave me good example. :-) (I loved Komamura more, too. But it's off topic.)
Most of all, I want to know why Tousen chose Aizen's side. There are a lot of things which interest me in Bleach, but this one is the more important right know (even more that "what will happen to him ?") When I heard about the end of chapter 211, with his hand on Suzumushi, I was both thoroughly happy and very, very afraid "He will be evil, and I will cry." So... waiting for 212 !
I have written about Tousen and Hisagi relationship, too. The piece I made you beta, in addition to a set of themes for une_phrase, the French version of 1sentence. I try to convince people they're interesting.
A fun thing what happened to me : when a friend told me about this chapter, she was very excited "There is Tousen in the last chapter !" and at the end of her ramblings, there were the neutral sentence "I hope you realize it's entirely your fault if I react like this."
I want more people telling me things like that. :-)
