Interesting how the hero looks like he's engulfed in black flames, while the villain looks almost angelic.

Subliminal messaging on Japans part?

What do you imply 2nd anon? In Bleach the 2 main "villain" factions dress in white (Espada, Quincy) while "good guys" dress in black (except for the captains' coats).

anon 2 has warped idea of what Angelic looks like.

Oh another note, I do remember reading somewhere that in many eastern countries black represented life, while white represented death.
It's the opposite in western nations (usually).

(Anon2)
I said "almost angelic" Besides the face, Aizen does resemble a seraph.
Interesting note on the color scheme tho Anon3.

I only made my first comment because it always seems that Japan glorifies Demons and Devils while "demonizing" Angels and God.

It's not the "demonizing" of angels. It's the ideal of Lucifer. aka Satan. Most people forget that Satan is an angel, a beautiful being of light, that chose to destroy those he deem beneath him; not some ugly creature that does evil for the stake of evil.

It also should be noted that demons in the Asia cultures aren't evil but like spirits of nature or wild animals.

Was an angel, before he was cast out of Heaven and became "Satan." Satan is usually viewed as the deceiver of man and the personification of evil and temptation.

It's an interesting point, but I don't think Kubo meant to make any deep commentary. Japanese artists are drawn to Christianity, and especially Catholicism, because it's a minority religion rife with deep imagery and symbolism. It's just like super heroes with names derived from Norse mythology. Stan Lee probably wasn't channeling any huge religious revelations when he made Thor and Loki aliens.
