Aizen: For your continued success against my Espada... // Allow me to express my respect by letting you know this in advance. // As of now... // We are commencing our invasion of the human world.

Ichigo: !! // What was that...?!
Ishida: Ridiculous... // Wasn't he going to wait until he had used Inoue-san's ability to awaken the Hougyoku to do that...?!
Rukia: Where is Inoue right now...?
Aizen: Inoue Orihime, I am leaving in the Fifth Tower. // If you wish to retrieve her, you may come and make your attempt.
10
Aizen: I no longer have... // ...any use for her.
Chad: ...What...?!
Renji: ...No... // ...use...?!
Aizen: Her ability is truly a wonderful one. // "Phenomenon rejection"... an ability far exceeding the capacities permitted to humans. // The upper echelons of Soul Society understood the significance of her ability... / ...and that is why... // ...I kidnapped her, in order to unsettle Soul Society, and lead them to turn their attention to reinforcing Soul Society's own defences rather than those of the human world.
11
Aizen: After proving that my Arrancar's preparations for battle were complete... / Hitsugaya's advance force were all recalled to Soul Society... // ...to help them fortify their own defences.
Ichigo: !!
Aizen: Furthermore, she had another use. Soul Society had recently gained a new military asset... the "ryoka", including one "Acting Shinigami". / She was the perfect bait to lure these forces to Hueco Mundo.
Rukia: ...Shit...
Aizen: Furthermore, four of Soul Society's Captains... // ...were sent to Hueco Mundo as reinforcements... // ...and as such I have succeeded...

Aizen: ...in imprisoning them, as well.
Isane: !!!

Isane: ...............!! // The four Garganta that we used to reach Hueco Mundo... // ...have all... // ...been sealed off...!!
Ishida: Wha...?! // Can't... / Can't we reopen them again from this side somehow?!
Mayuri: Impossible. // The only one possessing sufficient knowledge of the Garganta at the present time is Urahara Kisuke. // As long as we have no means to establish contact with him, we will be unable to reopen the Garganta. // Though it pains me to say it.
Aizen: The true strength of the Gotei 13...
14
Aizen: ...lies in its thirteen Captains. // They are its primary fighting force and its greatest asset. // However, right now, three of those Captains have defected... // ...and four are imprisoned. // Soul Society's military force has been essentially cut in half. // Easy pickings.
[TN: Failing to take into account the Visored, Isshin, Ryuuken, and Urahara himself, I see... Not to mention that there are still various Arrancar friendly or possibly-friendly to the good guys in Hueco Mundo who could feasibly be able to open a Garganta.]

Aizen: We shall now proceed to erase Karakura Town... // ...generate the Ouken... // ...and finally, defeat Soul Society. // As for you... // Once this is all over, we will deal with you at our leisure.

Ichigo: Karakura Town is going to be......... // ...destroyed............!
Kenpachi: Wait, Ichigo!! // Where d'you think you're going? // You think there's anything you can do right now?
Ichigo: Well, what do you want me to do?!! / Karakura Town's in danger right now!! // You want me to just stand here and wait?!
Kenpachi: ...I thought I told ya. // The moment he decided the true battle would be this winter... // The old guy gave Urahara Kisuke... // a few tasks to carry out. // The first task was to create a path for the Captains to Hueco Mundo. // And the second task... // Was to ensure that...
17-18
Kenpachi: Every single Gotei 13 Captain... // ...would be ready to do battle in Karakura Town.

What can I say ? - Unbeatable xD
The katakana spelling ヴァイザード (VuAIZAADO) is a closer match for 'Vizard' than 'Visored', pronunciation-wise. And I'm fairly sure 'Vizard' means specifically the faceplate on a helmet, rather than just any mask - which makes it doubly appropriate, considering the martial nature of Vizard masks.
The Viz manga translates it as 'Vizard' ... these being the guys that translate セロ as 'Doom Blast', they can't be taken as any kind of authority, but I'm with them on the Vizard/Visored issue.
Oh, and I should barely even need to point out that your comment about the meaning of "vizard" (the faceplate on a helmet) applies equally to "visor".
At any rate, Viz probably like "Vizard" because it has their name in it ;)
Bleach attack names are often cleverer than people realize, mainly because people do try to translate the kanji "character-by-character", and they don't spend much time on it when it doesn't appear to make sense. :)
天挺空羅 is often translated in this way as "Heavenly Rickshaws of Silken Air" and to be honest I don't see what rickshaws have to do with anything!
天挺 : look up compounds involving 挺 and you should find the word 空挺... similar enough to be a play on kanji, I think? :)
空挺(くうてい) according to Yahoo dictionary is a contraction of 空中挺進 ("airborne advancement"). I say "advancement", 挺進 actually means "to advance ahead of a great many others". To advance first.
Together, 空中挺進 means "for above-ground (air) forces to invade into enemy territory". If we substitute 空 for 天, I think we can grasp the meaning of 天挺 as "heavenborne advancement", for forces moving through the heavens to invade into enemy territory.
空羅 : Again I don't see what "silk" has to do with anything. A little searching on the 羅 character should tell you that it's often used as a phonetic substitute for "ら", not meaning anything... which is more plausible. But there's an even better explanation - look at the incantation of Tentei Kuura, seen many chapters ago...
黒白の羅(あみ) 二十二の橋梁 六十六の冠帯 足跡・遠雷・先鋒・回地・夜伏・雲海・蒼い隊列 大円に満ちて天を挺(はし)れ
Note the two kanji in bold, which also feature in the technique name! These kanji would never be read this way normally! 羅 is given the reading あみ, net (not so far departed from one of its meanings "gauze"). Meanwhile, 挺 is given the reading はし(れ), run (as seen in 挺進 - this "beating out a great many others while advancing" corresponds well to "run".) It seems fair to think that's how we should interpret them in the title :)
So, assembling all this together: 天挺空羅 = Sky Net Running through the Heavens (into enemy territory).
I think the choice of kanji is wonderful :)
I would implore translators to spend a little while researching Bleach attack names when they come up - they're actually a lot of fun :D
As for Vizard vs Visored - I think you're right that Visored is probably where Kubo got it from. He's odd enough in his use of foreign languages to use a made-up past-tense verb as a name XD (although it's equally plausible that he got the pronunciation of "vizard" wrong :P)
Irrespective of its origins, if it weren't for "Vizard" being the vastly more popular use (and the one in use by Viz), "Vyzard" would be my personal preference, just because "zard" is a better ending for a noun/name ("wizard", "lizard", "Charizard":p) and it's nice to keep it in there. "y" to clear up the pronunciation issue.
However, I don't see any problems with using "Vizard" given you remember how to pronounce it. It seems a valid pronunciation of the word, even if not necessarily the one you might expect from normal English :)
