just created account to say that it hasnt been "years" in the manga, only about 8 months or so in "bleach time" from ch1 to defeating aizen, then the 17mo timeskip to the recent chapters. the whole arancar arc from ohime being kidnapped to ichigo passing out after the final battle with aizen only took place over about 3 days in "bleach time", but that almost 200 chapters (ch234-422 roughly) took about 4 years of "real world time" to come out.
