Gin Ichimaru finally shows his hand. Claiming to have killed Rangiku himself, he lulls Aizen into lowering his guard, then drives a blade through his chest and reveals the years of quiet preparation hidden behind his snake's smile.
Main Characters (2)
Summary
Rejoining Aizen, Gin reports Rangiku's death as coldly as he can manage, deflecting his master's surprise by repeating that he swallows anything that looks worth eating. Not far off, Keigo begs Tatsuki and the others to stop staring and run while they still can, as Aizen grows weary of chasing powerless prey.
Key Events
When Aizen decides to string the humans' corpses up in plain view before forging the Oken, Gin sets a hand on his master's sword and volunteers to do the killing, then rams the weapon through Aizen's chest. He explains that the sole defense against Kyoka Suigetsu is to grip the blade before its hypnosis fully takes hold, a secret that cost him decades to uncover, and boasts that he alone is placed to end Aizen's life.

Notes
Aizen counters that he saw the betrayal coming, which is precisely why he led Gin to Karakura in the first place.
