Why did a man with his power submit to bondage so easily?

Because of Squad Zero.

*Gasp*

There was talk of Squad Zero getting involved in Azashiro's capture.

That's unbelievable.

If Azashiro really can see all that happens in the entirety of the Seireitei, as Yoruichi says...

...that would mean Squad Zero must've shown up right around the time he ignored us and looked back towards the Seireitei.

I guess it does sound like something he'd do. Squad Zero must be on a whole other level.

(But thinking back on it now, the fact that he didn't just vanish and escape must mean something.)

(If he was actually omnipotent, he could've just fused with the Rukon District in an instant and altered everyone there.)

(At the very least, he would have been able to continue evading Squad Zero.)

(That means there must be some limit to his ability.)

If Squad Zero is so strong, why didn't they do anything when Aizen attacked?

I'm sure they had their reasons. They may have concluded the 13 Court Guard Squads could handle the situation.

Or maybe they predicted Aizen would create an Ouken, so they thought it best to stay back and protect the Soul King.

At any rate, there's no way for us to imagine what the Soul King had in mind. We've never even met or seen him.

I'm sure the Soul King and Squad Zero have their own sense of justice and dignity to uphold.

............

In accordance with the justice of the Soul Society and of Central 46, we were once convinced to accept Rukia's execution.

That's what justice is in this world.

On the other hand, Central 46 opposed Azashiro, a man who was more concerned with protecting the balance of the Soul Society and the world of the living than anyone.

How ironic.

In the end, the justice of the Soul Society is a product of the people it's comprised of.

It's a justice created by history. Our only choices are to dance along to its whims or struggle to break free.

Whether that's true justice or not is irrelevant. Different histories would produce their own completely different sets of principles.

And that's what the "Kenpachi" name represents.
