Well i guess you really can't trust the calm and collective characters. Was a bit of a deja vu for me seeing Ukitake as the culprit. Therefor i'm not really that shocked like I was with Aizen's 'betrayal'(coming to his senses).
Actually when I think about it, THE TIMING of Aizen deciding to act is also interesting now.
The ukitake dialogue back then seemed like Aizen messed up some sort of plan somehow with his actions. And then Aizen calls ukitake arrogant.

Though I wonder what Yamamoto does in all of this, he should be the top dog of soul society. Anyway really looking forward to the full truth. Maybe i'll even skip this part of the manga so i can be surprised in the anime like the good old days...
he follows orders. EVERYONE in ss follows orders. The problem is that orders and laws of ss are based upon a feudal japan society, which is basically authoritarian military state suppressing everything the ideals and laws hold bad.
The wholepoint of all arcs so far was that while SS has decent people and likeable captain members, THE SYSTEM ITSELF is "evil".

Also this makes me have doubts on how Kaien's death happened, to be exact was Ukitake TRULY "too sick' to fight the hollow there or if he wanted Kaien, possibly part of the kurosaki bloodline(old speculation considering the whole noble houses stuff of shiba) to be gone?
Now that you mentioned it, I'm also having doubts on Kaien's death. It was "too" convenient when Ukitake's sickness struck him at the moment he attacked Metastacia, that was fused with Kaien at that time.
Also, I was quite bothered by the description Tite Kubo gave to Kaien Shiba..."Kaien values friendship above everything else. His spirit of kindness lingers on today"...hmmm, sounds like Ichigo??? It was also stated that Ichigo closely resembles Kaien in appearance. Byakuya Kuchiki has also noted the resemblance.
And there's the former noble house of the Shiba clan. What happened to the clan once revered as the 5th noble family, having prestige along the lines of the Kuchiki and Shihoin family; and now only has 2 surviving members??? Is this part of Ukitake's agenda???

And Ukitake somehow had tools form noble families to destroy sokyoku?
That also...Ukitake and Kyoraku used the Shihoin Shield to destroy the Sokyoku, right? However, the status of the Shihoin clan after Yoruichi's defection is still unknown. So, it's still vague as to how they (especially Ukitake) acquired the shield.
Thats not all.
rukia was sent to human world before by ukitake
she had her memory erased about it
