lmao.... no shit he was aiming to kill zaraki... but he didn't want to kill him right away.... he was getting a bit arrogant and thoguht zaraki had no hope
um... did you not watch episode 53? he did not dodge at first.. hence his shoulders being slashed... then he started to realize the secret DODGING attacks... and even he found the secret to attacking back.
please rewatch episode 53... he was not aiming for zaraki's vitals the whole time.... please rewatch it and tell me the first place zaraki got caught.
um. no and yes.... zaraki did do better than most captains because of his endurance and stamina, however he had more time to think about the situation, however in the case of the vizard captains, kensei got stabbed immediately in the battle and had no time to analyze the bankai..... zaraki did not get stabbed immediately.... it took like 6 hits before he began to "stab"
end of the story lesson: rewatch episode 53 and then make these assumptions please.
That's cool and all, but still doesn't change the fact that whether he was playing around or not, trying or not, Tousen lost. Also, Zaraki could've just took his eyepatch off and blew away the reiatsu that made up tousen's bankai, just like he did ichinose in the bounto arc.
Personally, I hate tousen, he's a good example of everything that is wrong with bleach when it comes to descrepencies in power levels. He gets beat by Zaraki, but then they spend all kinds of time trying to convince us that he's actually "way more powerful than we realize." Such as when he lopped off Grimmjowe's arm, whoop-de-doo, then showing him pwning everyone during the pendelum arc, which is also kinda dumb, cuz he is probably weaker then than he was when he fought Zaraki, and most of the Vizards seem to be pretty powerful shinigami in their own right. It's like they are trying to convince us he's badass, when in fact, he's a weak fighter that can only attack things that can't see, like himself.
Can't wait for when he runs afoul of Zaraki again, it won't last long:
Tousen: I've come to get revenge on you Zaraki!
Kenpachi: Good, I just got done fighting someone with six arms who makes your Bankai look sissyfied, ready to die loser?
Tousen (looking confused) Um...........aizen-sam----UUURGH!
Kenapchi(slicing Tousen in half) Yeah, I didn't think you learned anything new either, probably should've spent time practicing instead of posturing and sniffing Aizen's behind.
