To be honest, there were two extreme views of the Twelfth Division in the Seireitei.
One held that the Soul Technology Development Bureau was the source of chaos in the Seireitei and that all research into souls, Hollows, and everything in the world had to be banned.

Even Aizen's transformation was inseparable from research.

"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

Ichigo and Ulquiorra were simply moving too fast.
They could not see the battle itself at all. They could only judge
