Case in point: during the original reveal at the end of the Sould Society arc, Aizen spends nearly two episodes explaining his plan, and even getting interrupted by a giant punch from Komamura can't stop him. Not to mention his gloatings are supposed to make people enraged and throw them out of focus so they can be defeated, cue to Hiyori getting cut in half by Gin. Since he has endured Gotei 13 for so much time, it's only fair to assume he wants payback and talk their ears out on how weak, immature or otherwise flawed they are. If you consider Aizen is a Magnificent Bastard whose plans have been going on for, at least, a century, he must have been holding his gloating for one HECK of a long time. He has routinely spent as many pages as he possibly could when given the opportunity to monologue about his plans, intentions, and knowledge.
This is, in general, an Undead Horse Trope that's very often parodied or subverted, but just as often played straight.

Many anime use this as a technique to drag out the fights.ĭates at least as far back as the movie serials of the 1940s (especially those made by Republic). It's like proclaiming the verdict of a makeshift jury. They are just as ready to explain the whole game plan to a partner when the opponent stands just out of arms reach and even more eager to "make a point" about the reasons exactly why the other side has to go down. Heroes are only slightly less prone to such fits of Genre Blindness. What good is revenge if they think it all was plain bad luck and don't know you're out to get them for killing your stepmother's brother's favourite cat? A character who thinks The Hero holds him in contempt may lay out the plan in hopes of getting his respect. Or if explaining the plan is a distraction a hero who's stopping to listen to the villain gloat about his plan is a hero who's not stopping the villain's minions for carrying out the final step of said plan. Thanks to the Unspoken Plan Guarantee, this removes any chance the villain had at success.
It seems that heroes get more information out of being interrogated than their interrogators do. Of course, on the other hand, trying to pull this kind of speech on a Pragmatic Hero or an Anti-Hero can quite easily and even literally blow up in the villain's face.Įven those who plan to simply shoot their enemy may stop by to share details of their plans first.
It's rude to interrupt someone when they chat before trying to kill you. This can give the hero the time they need to escape, but just as often the hero will simply sit there and wait.

After all, what is even the point of a carefully laid scheme, if you haven't yet told anyone just how ingenious and intricate it actually is? Rather than activate the needlessly complicated Death Trap right away, they will pause to outline their Evil Plan to the hero and often including information on how to stop it. There's something irresistible about twisting the knife that last little bit before finishing things.
