Bleach Spoilers

Think chapter 169 (End of Hypnosis) - but less shocking because this has happened before.

1) At first, I sort of rolled my eyes and thought "not again." Is she now the zanpakuto equivalent to a pin cushion. Just stick 'em anywhere on her torso, folks. She won't mind!

2) But the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. Not in a "oh noez Momo why" sense. More in a "oh noez Momo you only exist to bring angst to poor Shiro-chan" sense. Why else do it this way? She's most likely not going to get any character development out of this. She's possibly dead or she's going to be sidelined for another trillion chapters while she heals. But Hitsugaya will be out front and center angsting his head off. The character has so much potential but she is continually used as the catalyst for someone else's Oscar moment.

Her character situation has seemed so glaringly stark to me since we saw Hisagi confront Tousen. Kira and Matsumoto will probably have some sort of confrontation with Gin. Regardless of what happens after this chapter, she's never going to get to confront Aizen. The story appears to be saying that what he did to her isn't something she needs/should personally attempt to avenge/get answers for. It's Hitsugaya's job. And that's not cool.

I don't know what I had been expecting. I certainly wasn't expecting anything huge since he is the main villain and she isn't the main hero. It wasn't going to be epic. But I suppose it should have been expected.

3) Then I remembered how HUGE HitsuHina is in Japan. I immediately wondered what kind of wank/brick shitting has happened. The DRAMA!
