eye of the beholder

"An interesting discovery," Kurotsuchi declared, shuffling the reports. "It seems that the zanpakutou Kyouka Suigetsu draws its raw material, so to speak, from the viewer's mind, presenting him or her with a composite image of what Aizen Sousuke wants them to see, and what the viewer expects to see."

"How did you work that out?" Ukitake asked.

"Simple deduction. Compare Hinamori Momo's report on the same recent events with Hitsugaya Toushirou's. Note the references to 'godlike musculature, floating a foot off the floor, and halo' and 'seedy slouching lecherous undignified corrupt decrepitude and bad breath'. The inference should be obvious."
