it now seems the majority of this anime will now revolve around him saving rukia and fighting death gods, this is what i meant by it "no longer works" becausenow i think of him fighting the hollows in the beginning more of an introduction to his death god powers, and an introduction of all the characters in this anime. Unless you're saying that he is now purifying the death gods in which they're job IS to purify so purifying a purifyer doesnt really make sense.
