It has a kick ass fight, but what really made me courious was the old kideo used, I mean he is still a shinigami, but he uses all unknown spells and he does not use the numbering system that modern shinigamis uses for shielding, binding, and attack spells.

... hmm, just looked up Tessai Tsukabishi back when he was cpt of the Kido Corps and he still said the number, and so did Aizen. Even his Vice Captain:
