[Discussion] Episode 309 talks about the soul king

[Summer]

In this episode Aizen talks to kisuke uraharra about the soul king. He specifically says that thing instead of soul king, kisuke says so you've seen it as well. Apparently the soul king is on such a difference from everything else that only those who seen him such as kisuke and Aizen, or possibly Yama ( excluding the royal guard for obvious reasons) that it is referred to as a thing could it be a cluster of all we have seen. The soul king being a piece of everything hollow/Quincy/soul reaper/? Possibly other hidden things.

Woops should have been in the anime section.

This is in the right section. lol

OT: I think Aizen is the only one to see actually see the Soul King. And seeing that he is the Soul King, I want to say he's strictly Shinigami, but this wouldn't be the first time Kubo would troll us. lol I expect Kubo to explain the Soul King's importance/power and relevancy to the plot. If Kubo's taking like a month and a half break, he'd better think of something amazing. lol

Aizen: why is it with your intellect you don't take independent action, why do you subjugate yourself to that thing.

Kisuke: when you say that thing are you talking about the soul king, I see so you saw it didn't you.


This is what was said exactly and it sound really interesting why they refer to the soul king like this.

Since the Zero Division is strictly shinigami as well, it's not a far skip down the pond to say the Soul King is, in essence, shinigami as well

Yes but the zero squad were recruited by the soul king the man who sits on top but refuses to intervene which is why soul society was created I believe.

Also he had hollow like eyes as well.

If it were it's name would be Ichigo Kurosaki

I think that since the SK is that balancer of all Realms, it means he is a being which possesses power of all beings.

As for Urahara, I think he's either:
1.) Someone who's constantly been asked to join the RG but declined the offer.
2.) Secret agent of the SK who's been given the job to ensure that Ichigo becomes all that he can be and then some.
3.) The real FV who needs to know of his enemy.
