[Amaterasu]

Whewt, if it's one thing we should learn from this series' is that we can't trust statements until we see the truth with our own eyes.

We've heard the blind man standing in the background telling about what he's percieved as murder, with the two hundred shinigami below cpt.class of 11th (and as we know, they ain't the perceptive kind of guys) standing in front of him, and a shot of Zaraki's back with the haori over his right shoulder.

No matter how much this is ridiculed, you cannot deny the relative probability of this being the scenario considering the subjective point of view on the author's motives and probability of wanting to shock.

All I'm saying is that it wouldn't come as a shock to me if this would be the case, because from what I've seen from KT 'till now, he isn't the sharpest knife nor one who hates clichés.
