* DragonAscendant: Barragan's decision to disregard Aizen and invade Soul Society himself, besting Yamamoto and bringing the Soul Reapers to their knees, firmly cements him as the BigBad even before he finishes off Aizen.



* MakeWayForTheNewVillains: Barragan finalizes his role as the story's ultimate antagonist by killing Aizen-by that point rendered a maddened and barely directed monster of terrible strength by his flawed ascension and his escape from Gin's trap.



* TakingYouWithMe: Gin's ultimate plan for killing Aizen: he leads Aizen into the precipice world, then destroys it with both of them inside.

* TakingYouWithMe: Gin's ultimate plan for killing Aizen: he leads Aizen into the precipice world, then destroys it with both of them inside. Though Aizen survives, in escaping he loses anything that remains of his sanity, and when Barragan kills what's left of him it's practically a mercy.

* ContemplateOurNavels: Aizen's transformation after his near-death at Tousen and Harribel's hands leaves him prone to losing himself in self-contemplation; he is so perfectly self-centered that he loses any chance to save his few remaining loyalists from the Arrancar Rebellion.

* DeadManWalking: Cirucci ruthlessly focuses on causing massive internal organ damage to Ulquiorra during her fight with him, effectively rendering him this, as she prioritizes areas she knows that even his High Speed Regeneration will not heal properly.

Added DiffLines:

* SympathyForTheDevil: Aizen is acknowledged as being a complete moral void, an empty and sadistic man, but Harribel still pities him for his pure loneliness after Tousen, the closest thing he has to a friend, betrays him and he metaphorically removes his own heart for the sake of power and spite.

* HowDoIShotWeb: Ichigo loses access to his Bankai after several weeks in Las Noches getting to know the Arrancar as people, and needs to accept the inherent contradiction between recognizing them as individuals and even friends and fighting them before he can regain it. Ulquiorra loses access to Segunda Etapa after consecutive emotional attacks from Nemo shatters his veneer of emotional control and push him to the point of expressing his feelings openly, and only regains it when he hollows himself out in grief after Tesla's death.

* TimeAbyss: Barragan is thousands of years older than even Yamamoto, and claims to have seen the heat-death of the universe, which is why he's willing to let reality come apart-he finds a definitive ending more appealing than the empty, broken husk that will otherwise exist.

Added DiffLines:

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Barragan ultimately decides that he will side with neither Aizen nor with the Arrancar rebellion, but instead attempt to recapture his old glory. He takes Wonderweiss to counter Yamamoto, and then invades Soul Society with his retainers, bringing the shinigami to their knees.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Mayuri, rather than making the full recovery he did in canon, is permanently spiritually crippled by his injuries at Ishida's hands and decides to yield his position as captain of the Eleventh to Nemu so that he can continue to control it behind the scenes-only for his fellow captains to immediately befriend Nemu and teach her to stand up for herself, rendering him a powerless advisor to his own division.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Cirucci has been quite insistent that she be treated like the princess she styles herself as since before Aizen broke her mask. The complete lack of bloodlines or complex social castes among hollows and Arrancars has no bearing on this. She doesn't care about any of that because [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority she can demand respect for her customs by force.]]

*** DarkIsEvil: However, when Nemo enters into her Resurreccion, which wreathes Nemo's body in black dust and increases her shadow manipulation powers, the personality that emerges is a survival optimizing machine, ruled by fear and hunger, even more hollow-like than Nemo was when she was an actual adjuchas.

** In addition to the above effects, Luppi's spiritual pressure frays at the bonds that hold people together, diminishing their ability to work as a team. There are limits to this, however, as when he fought the twins Yin and Yang, it was completely ineffective due to the sheer strength of their bond.

* BlackCloak: A bit of a subversion in that while Nemo wears black cloaks made of the cloth of Gillians, she herself is far from being malevolent or evil. Due to Bleach's usage of {{Dark Is Not Evil}}, it instead has a somewhat opposite effect, moving her away from the vile side of the {{Sliding Scale of Antagonist Vileness}}.

She shrugs it off for a while, but when she starts coughing up blood, she realises that damage isn't getting better, that it's actually getting worse, which prompts her to go to Esmeralda's clinic.
