Aizen's Final Fusion Final Fusion: In his final form, Aizen takes on a distinctively Hollow-like form. Grabbing Aizen, Ichigo brings him outside Karakura Town. [156] As Aizen looks on in wonder at the new form Ichigo is taking,[157] Ichigo explains what Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō is and its costs. It is so great that, if he wanted to, he could easily kill all of the Espada and the Gotei 13 (with the exception of Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto). One of the Shinigami handed Aizen the Hōgyoku, prompting Aizen to put the orb in a glass and hand it back to the Shinigami. Thanking Shinji for being so easily provoked, Aizen noted the observed connection between Hollowfication and agitated emotions. Releasing his Shikai, Aizen showed Baraggan the decimation of his army, thus subjugating him in turn. Anyway, let us reminisce those great times in the series, and, at the same time, unbox once again the significant different faces of Ich… Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. Commending Urahara on his deduction, Aizen revealed himself to be behind the disappearances in the Rukongai. However, Aizen is soon interrupted by the arrival of NaNaNa Najahkoop, who uses his abilities to attack Aizen but is soon shocked that the bound prisoner does not even pass out from the attack despite being an easy, stationary target. [106], 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. As the two reach the Dangai's exit, Aizen declares they will go to the edge of reason. When Kyōraku reminds him that he is only permitted to remove three of Aizen's seals, the former Captain sighs, commenting that he is expected to stop Yhwach from a chair, suggesting that he won't have the power to do this while restrained. Stating it is too late to stop it, Urahara fires Hadō #91. [154], As Aizen moves away in a flash of light, Ichigo taunts him. 1.

First Fusion: Aizen embeds the Hogyoku into the center of his chest. As Aizen says he will unsheathe his sword especially for him, Shinji approaches his former lieutenant to engage him in battle. Intervening, Urahara binds him with Shibari, Benihime and uses Hiasobi, Benihime, Juzutsunagi, creating a massive explosion. His facial expression rarely changes, though he is almost always frowning. The only decoration is the tsuba, which is a hexagon. [38] He invested himself in the research and creation of the Hōgyoku even before Kisuke Urahara.

There is a diamond-shaped object embedded in his forehead. [161] Subsequently, Yhwach discovers he lost track of time during his meeting with Aizen. The diamond shaped point breaks open, revealing a vertical black third eye upon the center of the forehead, and the skin on his face splits open down the middle and pulls back around the sides of his head to reveal a blackened, demon-like skull. 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. 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. When Aizen makes an offer to Starrk to join him as an ally, Starrk believes Aizen to be strong and agrees to join him. As both Starrk and Harribel notice this, Starrk notes Aizen has nothing to say at Baraggan's passing.

[62] Commenting on the quality of Urahara's cloak and how simply kneading Kidō into it will let the wearer blend into the air, Aizen prepared to leave, stating that Isshin would not be able to use Bankai in his current state and that the Hollow experiment was a failure if a captain could take it out using only their Shikai. Black, flame-like markings spread across his chest and wrap around his left arm, and the remains of a tattered black cloak cover his lower body. [133] As their battle continues, Isshin notes Aizen is tiring, prompting Aizen to reveal he has reached the limit of his Shinigami self and the Hōgyoku has begun to understand his desires. [80] Commenting on how nice it is to see ice at this time of year, Aizen is stopped by Unohana, who has figured out something is wrong with his corpse doll, only for Aizen to bring out his corpse doll and disclose to Unohana and her lieutenant, Isane Kotetsu, the true abilities of his Zanpakutō. He decides to bring down the Soul King Palace by using his Reiatsu to widen the cracks caused by his blast.[169]. [77], Reiatsu Presence: The Reiatsu of Kyōka Suigetsu gives it away to those who are unaffected by the hypnosis or those who are keen enough to sense its actual presence while under the hypnosis.

[105] When Soul Society substitutes the town for an abandoned duplicate, Aizen muses on how he will have to travel to Soul Society to destroy the real town after he and his forces defeat the remaining captains. Commenting upon Ichigo's words, Aizen theorizes about the nature of his power. 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. [36] He disagrees with Yhwach's philosophy about combining all three planes of existence to eliminate the fear of death and believes that people would never have the courage to move forward against such a threat in Yhwach's world. [241] Later, he remained unfazed after being dismembered and impaled by a Soul King-empowered Yhwach, and survived being engulfed by his immense and chaotic Reiatsu.[36]. [104], 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.

Arriving, Urahara takes responsibility for the attack and reveals he fired a Kidō into Aizen's body on the back of another Kidō before Aizen achieved complete transformation. 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. [56] With his interest piqued by them, Aizen realized their potential and took them all into his division. [27], Gin Ichimaru has some sense of Aizen's emotions and feelings, correctly pointing out Aizen was enjoying the invasion by Ichigo and his friends and their successes within Las Noches, which Aizen himself confirmed,[28] and noting Aizen was surprised by the arrival of Momo during the battle of Fake Karakura Town. Startled by Ichigo's arrival, Aizen turns his attention towards him. [258] When Aizen is attacked, his body appears to crack and fold under damage, only actually bleeding when an attack is powerful enough. Afterwards, Isshin attacks Aizen with a Getsuga Tenshō. Stopping the fight between Gin and Shinji, Aizen tells Gin this is enough and states it is time to end this fight. His feet become single claws, and his hands becomes blackened. Applauding his ability to dodge, Aizen expresses happiness with the improvements in Renji's skill because he was one of Aizen's subordinates. As Aizen says he had reached the end of his speech, his body is enveloped by the Hōgyoku. His lieutenant was Momo Hinamori. [100] As they are drinking their tea, Aizen reveals to them the presence of Ichigo, Uryū, and Sado. Dodging, Aizen continues his taunts. Aizen no longer has any semblance of clothing in this form, and his musculature becomes more defined.

He formerly served as the lieutenant of the 5th Division under Shinji Hirako. [167] Upon seeing the shocked faces of Rukia and Renji, Aizen mockingly greets them and congratulates Rukia for being promoted to the role of lieutenant within the 13th Division, suggesting it was good that her abilities were finally being recognized. [3] During his ascent to Hueco Mundo, he removed his glasses and swept his hand through his hair, revealing menacing eyes and a very different hairstyle; his hair is now swept back, with a strand hanging down his face. The form-fitting white robe which enveloped Aizen in his past two forms lengthens, and flares out at the ends. When he is threatened with death from 2nd Division Captain Suì-Fēng's Zanpakutō if he moves, Aizen calls Yoruichi a nostalgic face and notes how not even Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng will be able to come after him while fighting the hypnotized Gatekeepers. [13][14][15][16], Aizen initially appeared to be a very kind, well-respected captain and was looked up to by many, especially his lieutenant, Momo Hinamori.

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. Claiming it has brought about the events surrounding Ichigo, Rukia, and Urahara, Aizen states Urahara misunderstood the nature of the Hōgyoku because the breakdown of the barrier between Shinigami and Hollow was his own desire. [207] Even during his time as a lieutenant, he could block high-level Hadō spells such as Hadō #88 from the likes of Tessai Tsukabishi, captain of the Kidō Corps and the most proficient Kidō master in Soul Society at the time, with Bakudō #81.

Aizen has Gin bring the two of them to Sōkyoku Hill, where Tōsen had brought Renji and Rukia to him. [23], Genius Intellect: Arguably, the most fearsome trait of Aizen is his tremendous intellect. [194] He has an innate knowledge of the Hōgyoku, rivaling that of its creator, Kisuke Urahara, even knowing how to destroy it. Repeatedly, Aizen has caught his opponent's weapons with a single bare hand. Isshin used to be a Soul Reaper, one of the spirits that helped souls get to the afterlife and slay evil spirits known as Hollows, and was captain of Squad 10 in the Gotei 13 and the head of the Shiba clan. [32] Due to this newfound power, Aizen has developed an arrogant and overconfident attitude, often not even thinking his attacks or defense through any longer like he used to, or even bothering to find out the effects of his opponents' and his own attacks. As the sky begins to crack, Ichigo breaks through behind Aizen. 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. As Harribel expresses surprise, Aizen tells her it appears she is not strong enough to fight for him before telling Gin and Tōsen it is time to go.

Hello! Stating he could have always refused to be Shinji's lieutenant, Aizen revealed he decided against this action because his captain's skepticism made the position ideal to carry out his plans. As the ability of Sakanade takes effect and reverses the world around them, Shinji attacks and manages to cut Aizen. [225] His immense Reiatsu is the reason why Aizen was chosen as one of the 5 Special War Powers by the Wandenreich.[226]. When Komamura activates his Bankai, Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō, Aizen slices through it, cutting off Komamura's arm. [23], As the commander of his army of Arrancar, Aizen controls his minions through acquired respect or fear. Charging Aizen, an enraged Hiyori is bifurcated by Gin. 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. Glaring down at Aizen, Urahara admits it is true he was unable to master it in the past. [52], At some point after the Hollowfication incident, Aizen became captain of the 5th Division, and eventually revealed to Gin the secret to avoiding the complete hypnosis of Kyōka Suigetsu. By the point of his Final Form, he's taken a) being blown up by his own reiatsu, and b) having half his body disintegrated by a powerful poison.

Leaving the scene of the crime with Gin and Tōsen, Aizen said that there was nothing more to do there. When the dust from the destruction settles, Aizen reveals that he is surprised that the chair he is bound to was able to survive the blast intact. The last fight (and a big one for that matter) is 308 and finishes in Episode 309. [110], Observing Starrk's defeat as he falls to the ground,[111] Aizen subsequently takes notice of the fight between Tier Harribel and Hiyori Sarugaki, Lisa Yadōmaru, and Tōshirō Hitsugaya. Cornering the messenger by catching him in a lie of omission, Aizen demands to know who sent the Exequias after Dordoni. Arriving at the Dangai with Gin, Aizen notices the approaching Kōtotsu. 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. When Aizen, Gin, and Tōsen are bathed in light, Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto calls the others off and reveals Aizen, Tōsen, and Gin became completely untouchable the moment they were covered in this light, called a Negación, a separate world created by Menos Grande when rescuing one of their own which transports them to Hueco Mundo. The big issue with any form of Hogyoku Aizen vs the Royal Guard (or TYBW characters in general) is Kubo seemed to drop the idea of transcendental beings after Deicide and more specifically that less "evolved" beings' attacks become less and less harmful the greater the difference in evolution (Aizen being able to defy "logic" and destroy the Cleaner for example). Trapped by spiritual energy cuffs at his wrists, Aizen stares in shock. During his ascent to Hueco Mundo, he removed his glasses and swept his hand through his hair, revealing menacing eyes and a very different hairstyle; his hair is now swept back, with a strand hanging down hi… Telling them they are all completely open, Aizen cuts down Hitsugaya, Shunsui, Suì-Fēng, and Shinji. [97], 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. Kyoka Suigetsu (Japanese for "Mirror Flower, Water Moon"): In its sealed form, it resembles a normal katana. 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. Being the only one who has not yet seen Aizen's Shikai, Ichigo shouts at the captains, causing them to realize Aizen used Kyōka Suigetsu and switched places with Momo. [34], By the time he is released from Muken, he has reverted to his calm, casual personality, brushing aside Shunsui Kyōraku's praise regarding his current abilities,[35] and somewhat undergoes a change of heart, even being willing to fight against Yhwach and assist Ichigo before returning to Muken. Stating everything is going according to his plan, Aizen says it all begins now. As Gin reveals the one weakness in Aizen's Zanpakutō, a bleeding Aizen tells Gin he knew Gin would betray him. [235][236] Aizen further displays his strength by cutting through the sword and wrist of Komamura's Bankai. ... later forging his asauchi into its final form. He wore the standard Shinigami uniform with a captain's haori. Now taller and with longer hair from his time in the Dangai, Ichigo places Isshin Kurosaki on the ground and thanks him. Just make eye contact and Madara already wins. As everyone is alerted to Aizen's presence, 3rd Division Lieutenant Izuru Kira fears Soul Society may have lost, only for the Visored to arrive. Sasuke, in his final form, almost defeats Naruto, so that's already saying something. [44], The following night, after Urahara's appointment as the new captain of the 12th Division, Shinji had a short talk with him about his new role as captain. Ichigo arrives with his unconscious father in Karakura Town in Soul Society as Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto grieves for Gin Ichimaru, who was earlier attacked and fatally wounded by Aizen. When Gin asks Aizen about his plans, Aizen reveals them. Aizen, in his final form, is a transcendent being. There is a cross in the middle of the cloak, showing where the Hōgyoku is embedded in Aizen. Part of his bangs fall between his eyes, and he has distinctively thick eyebrows. As he and his fellow traitor captains were departing from the Soul Society, he told 13th Division Captain Jūshirō Ukitake "no one has stood on the top of the world", not even the gods, but he aspires to "stand on the heavens and end the unbearable vacancy on the world's throne". Yhwach questions why it would be in Aizen's interests to defend Soul Society, and Aizen replies that this has nothing to do with interests, but is only him repelling those who would try to rule over and control him. Complimenting Ichigo's Reiatsu, Aizen states Ichigo has grown as he had planned, surprising Ichigo. While leaving, Shinji revealed Aizen, who had been concealed behind camouflage. [141] As they arrive, Aizen notices they are not in Karakura Town because he destroyed the Kōtotsu. Isshin went to investigate a disturbance in the world of the living, and encountered a powerful Hollow named White.

When Gin spots Tatsuki Arisawa, Aizen identifies her as Ichigo's ally. He is skilled enough to use Kido without the use of their incantation. [116], The release of Shinji's Shikai prompts Aizen to note it is an interesting shape for a katana. Confirming this, Aizen appears behind Urahara and attacks him. At least I hope not. Thinking Ichigo cannot harm him, Aizen refuses. [142] As they walk, they come into contact with a man who turns to dust upon getting close to Aizen due to his spiritual power. [135], After Urahara says it has been a long time since last they met, the two banter about Aizen's fusion with the Hōgyoku. Claiming such action would be unnecessary, Aizen states the power of his Espada alone will be enough to defeat the Gotei 13. The two sides parallel to the blade are long, whereas the four sides above and below the blade are shortened, making it into almost a diamond or prism-like shape. When Aizen noted that the Hōgyoku in its half-awakened state can be fully activated when temporarily fusing with someone with at least twice as much spiritual power as an average captain-level Shinigami, he calmly proved able to do so himself. [173], After Yhwach begins attacking Ichigo, Aizen attacks him while disguised as Renji with his Bankai active, only for Yhwach to sever his left arm while deciding to crush him with his own hands. Aizen mocks the Shinigami for trying to destroy the creatures with their Zanpakutō before instructing them to crush them with Reiatsu as he is doing. Aizen's perfect hypnosis has no possible way to counter the Six Path Susanoo, an all-inclusive technique whose offense and defense are both unparalleled. Aizen uses a full-powered Hadō #90. As Aizen says the Hōgyoku is beyond Urahara's comprehension and this battle is a waste, Urahara unsheathes his Zanpakutō. Ichigo Kurosaki is a high school student who long had the ability to see ghosts, allowing him to meet the Soul Reaper Rukia Kuchiki while she was hunting a gluttonous spirit called a Hollow. Aizen slashes Gin after his failed attempt to kill him. [137] noting Yoruichi's armor must be special for her to survive his attack, Aizen states he plans on destroying this. [98] Ulquiorra succeeds in forcing Orihime to join Aizen's side and brings her to Las Noches, where he has her display her power by restoring Grimmjow's amputated left arm and reveals to the Arrancar present how Orihime's powers are rejection, meaning she can "reject" anything which has happened.[99].
