This made everyone lower their guard around him. This talent didn't help Aizen win any fights, but it did show just how extensive his skills and talents were, making him something of a Renaissance man in the Gotei Captains are allowed to have hobbies, and Aizen was known for his mastery of traditional Japanese calligraphy a talent he shared with Byakuya Kuchiki.
Aizen even taught classes for calligraphy writing, and more than a few eager young ladies signed up so they could see Aizen's masterful hand at work. The most compelling villains are those who aren't just powerful, but also elegant. Right before he openly betrayed the Soul Society, Aizen already had his bases covered for his escape. He, Captain Gin Ichimaru, and Captain Kaname Tosen were quite outnumbered, and they were totally surrounded when the other Captains and Lieutenants tried to capture them on Sokyoku Hill.
Even Aizen might have struggled to escape the combined forces of his former allies, but that's why he had a squad of Menos Grande to help. A pack of them opened a garganta portal and evacuated Aizen and his fellows with beams of light, and not even the strongest Soul Reapers could do anything about it. Now that's just unfair. Aizen had quite a few enemies, including the eight Visored warriors who all wanted revenge for what happened to them.
During the final fight in the fake Karakura Town, Shinji Hirako, the previous Captain of squad 5, used his tricky shikai, Sakanade, on Aizen directly. Shinji's shikai can totally disorient the enemy's senses and scramble their motor skills.
This makes it nearly impossible for the target to fight correctly, but Aizen figured out the pattern with astonishing speed and resumed fighting despite Sakanade's mind-bending effects. Shinji could hardly believe his eyes. Sosuke Aizen had a powerful zanpakuto and kido spells at his disposal, but he still wanted more. There had to be a way to break down the barriers between Soul Reapers and Hollows, and the strange Hogyoku sphere was the solution. During the final battle, Aizen determined that he had reached his limit as a Soul Reaper, and implanted the Hogyoku into his chest and began to morph into something truly bizarre.
He didn't even need his zanpakuto at this point since he was wielding a far greater power. Kenpachi was another case of being lucky. In both cases, neither were as strong as Yamamoto, so they didn't need years to grow not to mention Yamamoto was also strong even a thousand years ago, as the head of the original Gotei Also Aizen happened to have a broken Shikai ability, and taking advantage of everyone's ignorance, hypnotized them.
However, his strength is probably overstated. When he got the Hogyouku, it was more that than his own power.
Before the Hogyouku started to evolve him to the Chrysalis stage, even Isshin with a sealed Zanpaktou, and even a flick of his finger seemed to be hurting him more than Bankai Ichigo. Urahara's Shikai blast through his chest would've also killed him if not for the Hogyouku.
The only person who fought Aizen that we can say for certain was without the Hogyouku or hypnosis helping was Ichigo, and even with Bankai, he was rather weak back then. It's all about the haircut.
Canute87 Nuke Imminent. KaaN23 said:. Kazeshini Product of the System. I say it's because of Kyoka Suigetsu. Pink Matter More Than Human. Could be several possibilities: 1. Aizen might be older than we think, via KS. Plot required him to be OP. Vargas Wilt in Pain. Cuz he is Aizen. Takamura Bear Invincible Under the Sun. Aizen is just a gifted individual that was born with exceptional abilities.
Although I do wonder what his parents were like, and what traits he received from them. Kazeshini said:. Orxon shurorororo. He just is. Lots of juice and pushups. Shivers disco inferno. Because Kubo isn't good at creating villains.
Well, besides Gin. Though apparently the main dude in the Fullbring arc skipped it was entertaining too. Actually, that's too many considerations for a blanket statement, I should rephrase: because Kubo fucked up writing him.
Canute87 said:. When Aizen stated Shinji was to blame for his current predicament and his comrades' plight, Shinji was provoked by this, triggering a speed-up in the Hollowfication process. Thanking Shinji for being so easily provoked, Aizen noted the observed connection between Hollowfication and agitated emotions.
Aizen and Urahara had a brief discussion about what was transpiring, with Aizen acting innocent at first until Urahara noted the investigation team did not have simple injuries, but were in fact undergoing Hollowfication. Commending Urahara on his deduction, Aizen revealed himself to be behind the disappearances in the Rukongai. While the obedient and loyal Izuru and Momo became the lieutenants of the 3rd and 5th Divisions under Gin and Aizen, respectively, [57] Renji proved to be too rebellious and was transferred to the 11th Division , later transferring to the 6th Division to become its lieutenant.
According to Aizen, even when Momo was his lieutenant, he always thought of Gin as his subordinate. Aizen greets Baraggan in Hueco Mundo. When Aizen asked Baraggan if he was happy in his position and if he would join him in a new world where he would be granted more power, Baraggan dismissed this notion and stated there was no power higher than his. Releasing his Shikai , Aizen showed Baraggan the decimation of his army, thus subjugating him in turn.
This created great enmity between Aizen and Baraggan, who promised to seek Aizen's destruction for all eternity. He told his co-conspirators to remain patient and reassured them everything would go as planned.
Soon after this, Aizen and his two comrades watched the fight between Isshin and one of their Hollow creations on a monitor, with Aizen wondering why Isshin was present in Naruki City. After observing the fight for a time, Aizen and his cohorts noticed the involvement of a Quincy in the fight, which surprised the three of them. Calming him down, Aizen said that the results were interesting and expressed curiosity on how events would further unfold.
Aizen became aware of the existence of Ichigo Kurosaki when he was born. To this end, he had Rukia Kuchiki stationed in Karakura Town. Aizen sets up his lieutenant, Momo Hinamori , to believe he was killed by Hitsugaya, her childhood friend, to get her out of the way. During the turmoil, Gin executes the overt aspects of the plan, which begins to be revealed when 4th Division Captain Retsu Unohana begins to suspect there is something wrong with Aizen's supposedly dead body.
At this moment, Gin approaches Aizen and wonders if Ichigo has already undergone Hollowfication. When Ichigo regains control over his body, Gin becomes disappointed, but Aizen tells him there is nothing to worry about. Stating everything is going according to his plan, Aizen says it all begins now. Aizen reveals himself by nearly killing his lieutenant [79] and defeating Hitsugaya.
When Aizen asks Renji to put Rukia down, Renji refuses. Commenting on Renji's stubbornness, Aizen says that it is acceptable if Renji wishes to hold on to Rukia, but he will have to leave the arms he is holding her with behind. Drawing his sword, Aizen attacks Renji, but Renji is able to draw his sword in time to dodge Aizen's attack, leaving only his right arm damaged. Applauding his ability to dodge, Aizen expresses happiness with the improvements in Renji's skill because he was one of Aizen's subordinates.
Telling Renji he does not want things to be harder because while he finds it difficult to hold back his strength, Aizen states he finds it unbearable for a subordinate to die. Challenging this assertion, Renji asks Aizen why he killed Momo.
When Aizen states it was an act of compassion because he has trained Momo so she could not live without him, Renji says Aizen is not the captain he knew, prompting Aizen to state he was the same man, but neither Renji nor anyone else had realized what he was. When Renji attacks Aizen with his Shikai, Aizen blocks it with his bare hand and easily cuts the segments of the blade apart while also cutting up Renji. When Renji refuses to give up Rukia, Aizen prepares to kill him, only to be stopped by Ichigo.
Ichigo teams up with Renji, but even after using Renji's strongest attack with his Shikai to create an opening for Ichigo, the attack fails.
Displaying his power by blocking Ichigo's blade with a single finger and nearly cutting him in half, Aizen cuts down Renji and approaches Rukia. Surprised the procedure did not kill Rukia and having no further use for her, Aizen orders Gin to kill Rukia as he prepares to leave, only for 6th Division Captain Byakuya Kuchiki to save Rukia by taking the blow himself.
Aizen ascends to Hueco Mundo. As they are surrounded by every captain and lieutenant of the Gotei 13 still capable of moving, Aizen smiles [87] and says it is time. While leaving, Aizen removes his glasses and changes his hairstyle by combing a hand through it.
As his glasses evaporate into dust, Aizen announces his goal to stand atop of the world in the heavens and take the place of the absent gods, something no one has ever done before.
Before finally ascending into the portal created by the Menos' arrival, he bids farewell to all of the Shinigami present and tells Ichigo he was very interesting for a Human.
Aizen sits on his throne in Las Noches. From there, Aizen changes his clothing style to resemble the Arrancar , and begins to create several Arrancar. At some point, he finds Coyote Starrk and Lilynette Gingerbuck and is impressed by the mountain of dead Hollows nearby. When Aizen makes an offer to Starrk to join him as an ally, Starrk believes Aizen to be strong and agrees to join him. Ulquiorra uses Solita Vista to show what he has seen to the others and Aizen.
After Grimmjow and Shawlong Koufang question Ulquiorra and Yammy on why they just did not kill them as ordered, Aizen states he is impressed with Ulquiorra's work. Later, after examining Orihime's powers, Aizen decides to initiate another invasion on Karakura Town, letting Ulquiorra pick the members of the invasion force, though Aizen personally sends Grimmjow as well.
Calling the Espada to a meeting, Aizen invites them to have some tea. When the Espada begin to dismiss the group as not dangerous, Aizen warns them to not underestimate the trio and reveals their exploits in Soul Society.
When Aizen identifies Orihime as the missing member of their group and states they have come to rescue her, Grimmjow begins to leave and states he is going to go eradicate the threat in Aizen's name.
Stopping him, Aizen resorts to intimidating Grimmjow with his Reiatsu when the latter hesitates to back down. As Grimmjow is brought to his knees by Aizen's immense Reiatsu, Aizen tells the other Espada to return to their palaces and wait patiently. Telling them not to be overconfident, Aizen says they do not to be afraid because no one can defeat them as long as they are with him.
Unsurprised by Dordoni's demise, Aizen expresses surprise at Ichigo struggling against him. Cornering the messenger by catching him in a lie of omission, Aizen demands to know who sent the Exequias after Dordoni.
When the messenger does not answer, Szayelaporro Granz intervenes and reveals he is the one who did so before begging Aizen's forgiveness, which Aizen grants him. As Szayelaporro turns to leave, Aizen tells him to make his reports more thorough next time, shocking Szayelaporro, before asking him if the Reiatsu record he obtained from Dordoni will aid in his research.
Confirming this, Szayelaporro leaves. Following his departure, Gin, who had been present in with Aizen the entire time, asks Aizen if he is enjoying himself even though his subordinates are losing, prompting Aizen to confess the emotion he is feeling at the moment is akin to enjoyment. Using this, Aizen reveals his true motivation behind the capture of Orihime to Ichigo and the others: by kidnapping Orihime, he inspired Ichigo and his friends to attempt a rescue, thereby depriving Soul Society of a valuable military asset, and when four captains assisted in her rescue, adding to the three which had already defected, Soul Society was left at half its regular strength, so he and his forces are now ready to attack.
Leaving to destroy Karakura Town, Aizen seals the portals Ichigo and the others used to access Hueco Mundo, effectively stranding them there until his return, and leaves Ulquiorra in charge of Las Noches. Claiming such action would be unnecessary, Aizen states the power of his Espada alone will be enough to defeat the Gotei When Momo arrives in the fake Karakura Town to assist Rangiku Matsumoto , Aizen has a somewhat intrigued look in his eyes upon sensing his former lieutenant, whom he assumed he killed, is alive.
When Gin asks him if anything is wrong, Aizen says Momo's presence will not make any difference. Stating the smell of death is splendid, Aizen walks free with his two comrades and says the smell fits the occasion. As the battle continues, Baraggan comes close to his death and throws his blade at Aizen in a desperate attempt to kill the person responsible for Baraggan losing his position as King of Hueco Mundo, only for Baraggan's Respira to destroy the axe before it can even reach Aizen, who looks away.
As both Starrk and Harribel notice this, Starrk notes Aizen has nothing to say at Baraggan's passing. Stopping the fight between Gin and Shinji, Aizen tells Gin this is enough and states it is time to end this fight. As Aizen laments to Harribel how he alone is more powerful than all of the Espada he went through so much trouble to gather, an enraged Harribel impales him with her sword.
As Aizen states dealing with her is such a pain, a surprised Harribel realizes she attacked an illusion and has been stabbed in her left shoulder by Aizen. Telling Harribel he will never let her raise her sword to him again, Aizen withdraws his sword. As Harribel falls to the city below, Aizen tells everyone to come at him.
When Shinji warns the other Visored to not approach Aizen too quickly, Aizen says they already died years ago, so they have nothing to fear. Charging Aizen, an enraged Hiyori is bifurcated by Gin. Going to Hiyori's side, Shinji angrily stares down Aizen, who states there is finally life in Shinji's eyes. As Aizen says he will unsheathe his sword especially for him, Shinji approaches his former lieutenant to engage him in battle.
When Shinji tells the others to wait for Ichigo to arrive, Aizen asks Shinji why he would put his faith in Ichigo. When Shinji tells Aizen he does not expect him to understand because he does not even trust his own followers, Aizen says only the weak rely on others.
When Shinji questions how he can say this with all the followers he has, for he is sure Aizen has asked them to trust him, Aizen states he is wrong because he never asked them to trust him at all.
Revealing he told them to come with him, but he has never told them to trust him and has told them to not trust anyone, including himself, Aizen laments there are not many strong enough to do that. Aizen further explains how everyone wishes to believe in something bigger than themselves, and he will become the god everyone is forced to put their faith in.
Commenting on Aizen drawing his blade, Shinji asks Aizen if he is scared. When Aizen remains silent, Shinji says there is no point in ignoring him because he still has to be uneasy no matter how strong he is.
The release of Shinji's Shikai prompts Aizen to note it is an interesting shape for a katana. As the ability of Sakanade takes effect and reverses the world around them, Shinji attacks and manages to cut Aizen.
After another attempt, Aizen figures out the ability and cuts Shinji before stating the ability is child's play. As the sky begins to crack, Ichigo breaks through behind Aizen. Dodging, Aizen continues his taunts.
When Ichigo begins to waver, Komamura appears beside him and tells Ichigo not to be disheartened, for provoking his opponents is Aizen's forte. He and the other Shinigami and Visored prepare to help Ichigo fight Aizen while avoiding witnessing the release of his Shikai. Becoming angry, Hitsugaya releases his Bankai. As Hitsugaya attacks him, Aizen glances at him and notes Hitsugaya does not plan ahead due to his young age. Noticing Shinji holding Sakanade , Aizen realizes it is too late to react because he is in the inverted world as Hitsugaya impales him.
Having been lying down next to Izuru and 7th Division Lieutenant Tetsuzaemon Iba , Aizen gets up and walks away after his illusion is revealed.
Believing it is Momo who is walking away, Izuru and Iba try to follow him, but are cut down. Overcome with anger at being fooled by Aizen into attacking Momo, Hitsugaya charges at Aizen while Shunsui warns him to wait. As Aizen defeats the last of his attackers, Yamamoto draws his attention with a huge pillar of fire.
Stating Yamamoto is too late and the Gotei 13 will crumble with his defeat, Aizen taunts Yamamoto before stabbing him. Pulling Aizen in, Yamamoto says he can tell it is not an illusion. Activating Ennetsu Jigoku , Yamamoto states everything caught within it will burn. Pouncing on Aizen, Ichigo sends him crashing through a nearby building. Listing various important occurrences in Ichigo's development, Aizen claims they all happened as he desired. Revealing he was lying back then, Aizen begins to say why he thought Ichigo would be perfect, but is interrupted by the arrival of Isshin, who states Aizen has said too much.
Attacking Aizen, Isshin sends him crashing through multiple buildings. As Ichigo talks to Isshin, Gin asks Aizen if he interrupted his speech. Glaring down at Aizen, Urahara admits it is true he was unable to master it in the past. Questioning his statement, Aizen says he must be unable to admit defeat. Revealing he saw the portable Gigai trick in Yammy's report, Aizen admits he let his guard down, for he never thought Urahara would use such a petty trick, and asks Urahara what he will do after constricting him.
After the smoke explosion dissipates, Urahara notes Aizen has let down his guard because of his newfound power. Confirming this, Aizen appears behind Urahara and attacks him. Trapped by spiritual energy cuffs at his wrists, Aizen stares in shock. As Urahara explains the nature of the seal, Aizen is enveloped in a pillar of light.
As Isshin comes up from behind, he and Urahara restrict Aizen with chains. Smashing into his back with great force, Yoruichi pummels Aizen into the ground.
As Urahara tells Yoruichi to move away, Aizen recovers and destroys the armor on Yoruichi's left leg. Emerging from the rubble with his new form severely cracked, Aizen proclaims he will destroy all of their attacks. Having shattered more of Yoruichi's armor, Aizen watches as Yoruichi and Urahara bicker again.
Asking Aizen why he is staring at him, Urahara says Aizen is showing interest again. When Aizen reveals he finds Urahara interesting because he is the only one in Soul Society who exceeds his intellect, Urahara attacks Aizen, but Aizen blocks it and Yoruichi's sneak attack. Intervening, Urahara binds him with Shibari, Benihime and uses Hiasobi, Benihime, Juzutsunagi , creating a massive explosion.
