“He’s not like Itachi”: Gin Never Exposing Aizen in Bleach Was Clear as Day That Makes Him a True Anti-villain in Shonen

Big bad villains have gone out of fashion in shonen anime, as more and more anti-villains emerge and become fan-favorites. Tite Kubo’s Bleach is no different in this respect. From Aizen to Ulquiorra, there are many villains who are complex and have a fair share of likable qualities.
It’s odd how Gin Ichimaru is hardly ever mentioned during discussions about Bleach villains. He’s the perfect anti-villain; the evil in his heart is driven by the innocent bond he shares with Rangiku. If all he wanted was to seek revenge, he could have just exposed Aizen’s secret to the Soul Society.

It would have been an easier and more convenient way to achieve his goal. His character arc explains why he chose the more difficult path, and the explanation aligns with his priorities that make him a true anti-villain.
