This made no sense what so ever. The drug sends him back to the past? How can a drug act like a fucking time machine?
Did you not see Mayuri's explanation? The drug interferes with his sense and perception of time, among other things. Nobody said anything about Time travel, dammit.
No matter how you perceive time, slower or faster an event that happens is an events that happens. So how can he end up standing there after he killed Mayuri?
He also said that if he decided not to kill him then time will continue normally and that the drug makes him see back into the past after he reaches a certain action(killing mayuri).
Well if that is true then Hitsuguya killed Mayuri and now he is just stuck in the memories of doing so. But memories can't change reality, so if he can stop killing him in his memories and Mayuri survives because of that then it means that the drug is not just memory hallucination but actually a time machine. if it not a time machine then Mayuri should be dead.
It's completely crazy to think that a drug can be a time machine or that a drug can identify a certain event and start acting only if such event happens.
The drug he used on the 8th espada made sense. This one really does not make any sense.
Something tells me you completely overlooked or perhaps disregarded Mayuri's explanation on the drug. He specifically stated it operates on the Hippocampus of the brain, a part that is responsible for short and long term memory as well as spatial navigation. You're assuming their fight occurred in the outside reality, when it was merely the inducement of false memory in Hitsugaya's brain making him perpetually stuck in the thinking phase of his attack and experience a memory loop.
There is no implications of time travel. Mayuri isn't a magician, he's a man of science. How else would Hitsugaya's blown away leg be back to normal and his Bankai reset to Shikai right after the beginning of the loop which was 'for the sake of Seireitei'. The medicine simply induces false memory, and doesn't imply interference with any outside space-time continuum. No time travel, just his Hippocampus taking a beating there.
Geez, this is even easier to comprehend than the drug Szayel Apporro was a victim to.
