I've been thinking a lot about Ichimaru, and somewhat about Aizen, lately, and come to couple of conclusions.
A lot of people have theorised that Ichimaru is going to betray Aizen at some point, and it’s impossible to actually know that at this point, since we never get any real explanation of his motivations for doing anything besides the fact that he’s a sadist with a warped sense of humour and an odd fondness for a couple of 'lucky' souls. But I’ve figured out what it is I like about Aizen and Ichimaru, regardless of whether they’re lovers or partners in crime, and it’s much the same thing that I like about Light and Ryuk from Death Note, and for the same reasons.
( That 'us against the world' thing, the totally superior megalomaniac with a god complex and the one person he considers worth his attention, the gleefully amoral lunatic who's just 'along for the ride'. )
