Getting the feel that RG pretty much IDENTIFY themselves as gods - whole overblown ego, huge titles, entire towns serving them, obsession with creating something. Does not sound like good guys, does it?
It doesn't sound as straight out bad guys either. Geez, dude, you had even suspected Mayuri of being the next villain because he cursed at Ichigo.
I do wonder on what did Isshin create, on if he was the fifth Guard before Hikifune...bankai?
Maybe something above bankai, like... FGT.
