That part was dank af. Hitsugaya was actually making moves in this whole arc of the series but when ge finally squared up on Aizen he got totally and conclusively defeated. I love Hitsu hes actually my favourite captain next to Unohana and Kenpachi ofc. His character development and combat ability cannot be understated..and he’s naturally gifted with the one of the best Zanpakuto in the series, and his Bankai was the coolest for a long time in Bleach. Until later we got to see other crazy Bankais. Seeing Hitsugayad bankai now since Unohanas,Yamamotos and the power level of the quincys…his Zan/Ban is no longer viable. Anyone with strong enough riatsu can put enough pressure on his ice to shatter it haha
Just once, I wish they would show what Aizen is doing during Kyouka Suigetsu (from his vantage point). It would be funny to see him drinking tea or casually picking flowers while his enemies annihilate each other.
@@AntoinneWilliams he was just watching what he already knew what was going to happen when he made his whole plan originally. Every single thing that happened in bleach he knew and manipulated/used to his advantage. And if he couldn’t work them into his plan then he worked on how he would get rid of them after they served their purpose in his agenda. He saw everyone and everything as tools and pawns to be used, if they couldn’t be trusted used then they were nothing to him. Aizen is a true psychopathic genius, he took his shot and made it so far. But mark my words even his defeat and imprisonment for eternity is also planned 😂 hes just been chillin waiting for Yuabach to invade with the Quincy and trigger the next phase of his scheme…we all know its coming 🤦♂️😂
When Ichigo was fighting him, he was real since Ichigo never was affected by his sword. But right after he could just walk away. Even Ichigos screams could be nullified until aizen wants them to hear it
@@Demotae they were getting whopped by Hinamori who was hypnotized to fight like Aizen. While the others were looking at Hinamori and were thinking that they were fighting Aizen. The only people who saw what really happened is Gin and most likely Ichigo.
@@Sanbonzakuraahe didn't lose miserably. It's stated that Kisuke is smarter than Aizen, so he prepared himself for the opportunity and used kido on Aizen when he wasn't fully fused. And thanks to ichigo, it gave Kisuke an opening to activate his sealing kido. It's not a miserable lose, it's just being outsmarted
I will always love the fact that Ichigo was just standing there, whatching in awe, while the captains and visors were clapping the hell out of Hinamori. Only after she was stabbed decided to say something lol
kyoka suigetsu is a broken zanpakuto being too OP to borrow Aizen's words and apply it to Ichigo, when did you think he started shouting to them, only when they stabbed her? he's probably telling them Aizen already switched with Hinamori, probably when he taunt Hitsugaya about her, but they aren't hearing him due to complete hypnosis
Hinamori wouldn't have gone toe to toe against even a single captain...He must have switched probably when he was about to be stabbed or something...else it no make sense!
@@harrylagunsad570 You have a point but If Ichigo could see they were fighting Hinamori he should have interfered and not just be shouting in the same place.
First time I saw it I was like, "Ohhhhh shit...Aizen's finally done after just screwing with them all!" These scenes in the manga are MUCH more violent too...He literally sliced completely down through Hitsugaya's body, basically separating his heart from his body...Blood was literally EVERYWHERE throughout these scenes...In the manga too a little bit before this, the female Vizored Hiyori, charges at Aizen...Gin uses his Shikai, 'Shinsou' and literally BIFURCATES her from her waist down....In the anime as we all know, it just shows Gin activate 'Shinsou' and simply pierce her through the chest. The Shinigami better thank their sweet stars that there....WAS ONCE a comrade in arms that could heal pretty much WHATEVER sort of awful wound(s) that you may suffer. YACHIRU UNOHANA + 'MINAZUKI'. Among the oldest Shinigami....You want blood?! You got it! 🩸🩸 But yeah, the ending of this episode was absolutely stunning...Wrecking all who even attempted to raise their blade towards him....BOOOM...."TO BE CONTINUED....:!"...Aizen just stands tall, smiling as blood is just flying everywhere......Simply epic. 🏁
Bruh,Aizen is literally staying and watching how everyone destroys each other without realizing they are in complete hypnosis. Most broken ability in Bleach.
Kyoka Suigetsu, The Almighty and The Balance (Steinritter B) are the most broken abilities in fiction imo. No matter how strong a character is mentally or physically, those abilities have near to no counter.
@@PickAShoe1 Not really, you could hand the most op things to one character and him could screw things up. If aizen is not written really good, he would have made a mess with these abilities
@@PickAShoe1 how bleach is mid?? How aizen isnt masterfully written?? Aizen have a whole different presence in story he is an example that you dont want to have a tragic backstory to be a good villain and aizen is actually evil which most of the villain lacks like obito, madara,pain they were just victims...aizen isnt....this dude make memories with people to manipulate them like hinamori Aizen backstory and motive is clear he hates the god they worship because he is useless and he believe that he can make a better world...go see aizen speech "how gods are born" .. And if bleach was mid it wouldn't have came back .. If bleach was mid it wouldnt have inspired jjk,black clover, demon slayer .. Bleach even inspire another artists by manga covers ... Bleach even sold 10 million copies even after 6 years manga ended ... So yeah bleach isnt mid bozo 🤡 And hating on bleach doesnt make u cool
I watch this interaction between him & Ichigo several times, it doesn’t even feel like taunting anymore, its like a master teaching his student to wise up, obviously when the final battle occurs Aizen is surprised at how fast his student has grown, he didn’t expect the student to surpass the master, man i love it
This entire sequence was far past it's time. The most epic fight scene at this point in anime history. Aizen absolutely overpowering the strongest characters in the verse and he gives them a glimpse of hope just to turn it into complete and utter despair. What a beautifully written masterpiece.
When Gin talks about how inferior everyone's plans are compared to Aizen he shows why his plan was necessary to take down Aizen and that nothing less than a sacrifice at Gin's level and patience in planning would be enough.
The most fucked up part, Aizen knew from the very beginning that Ichimaru planned on killing him, he kept him around just to see how he’ll try to do it.
@@jchavs0212 plotwise he wanted ichigo to not be affected by his hypnosis because of juha bach. Id imagine naruto would have ended in sasukes favor if he just insta tsukuyomi him
People forget AIZEN is the prodigy that they Talk about in the beginning of BLEACH. It wasnt GIN but Aizen. I mean Aizen only loses to Yamamoto and the hybrid Shit that is Ichigo.
SPOILER It’s a gamble that he winds up paying the price for in the end when he transforms into a wolf permanently after using Dangai Joe on Bambi and loses his Soul Reaper powers because he got the ability to use it with the purpose of getting revenge on Ywhach. Unfortunate end for the 7th Captain.
@@thiagor.324 You didn't read what happened properly right after he defeated Bambi. He attempted to approach the Royal Palace to get to Ywhach afterwards with the intentions of avenging Yama, and soon after the effects of the Humanization Technique were wearing off. His grandfather proceeded to mock him for succumbing to revenge since their clan's nature was defined by it, and even Komamura knew himself that he was being a hypocrite to the beliefs he initially preached to Tosen. It follows in line with one of Bleach's themes that pursuing revenge is a fruitless objective which only leads to failure and great costs being made.
It's a really nice touch that Shinji's last desperate attack gets blocked by the same barrier that stopped Ichigo at the beginning. Highlights both his recklessness and Aizen's total disrespect as he just takes it and then finishes him.
You gotta think. This guy so OP right now, goes through 4 unfathomable transformations, ascends past reality, and Ichigo manages to go from not even comprehending his movements, to negging his entire existence. What a journey lol.
@@dmitc01 you can let it slide because ichigo himself is a cheat code . Has has almost every bloodline in the story plus fullbring abilities . Now that’s OP . Given that Yhwach himself has been suppressing his power by more than half , u can say ichigo was born a menace . Like S tier menace to society .
@@jjlouis7762 the problem is that wasn’t nearly alluded to enough. If we had more hints about his quincy bloodline on top of his hollow powers being infused in the dangai form design, then I trust there would be MUCH fewer complaints
Yhwach literally tore him apart physically but he still played a vital role, Yhwach was just a ridiculously OP character on some insane broken reality warping shit. So fucking annoying how WSJ screwed us out of a longer ending, it was so messed when we had the 5 chapter warning till it would be done, definitely would have had a bigger final battle otherwise.
@@harleyhunt6073the anime will probably fix that. Since they are adding things that were not fleshed out in the manga. We may see a longer fight, just as we saw squad zero fight and kick ass that wasn't in the manga
@@spartanAXA he truly needed that lesson from Aizen, unlike the previous generation of Gotei 13, this generation is very weak at its time. Hitsugaya esp, has the strongest ice type but his experience and maturity is still very weak, thus losing, and the fact that he always had to pull out bankai right off the bat
Man Aizen is the best planner and unbelievably accurate in his ability to predict how his entire ploy would play out. His forsight and intellect is on another level, but its a different type of intelligence…the gift of being able to boil down ANYONE and know how they will react and then use that in a massive spiders web to weigh how EVERYONE will react in tandem with eachother…hes insane
@@megalucario4909 tbf urahara didnt outsmart him. Its his own subconcious conflicting will that cost him. Tbf aizwn coukd have urahara killed if he wanted. Urahara is no threat to aizen.
@@aimanbabahmed7449 ahahah "Urahara is no threat to aizen." reallyyyyy? At the end of the day, it was urahara and his plan that defeated aizen.There is no character in bleach that can fight urahara in intelligence
Did you know that Kubo didnt know where to lead the story of Bleach? That was until he created Aizen and Aizen shaped everything according to his plan.
couldnt take down yamamoto, firstly he created someone else to do it, secondly when he was fighting him he only won cause yamamoto had to sacrafice himself from his kieoto from destroying everything
@@TheGeoffrey0 I honestly think that it is a difference in speciality. Both are equally powerful fighters, but Yamamoto Zampakuto was more suitable for direct combat while Aizen was more subterfuge and tricky,
Hinamori is super strong. Look how many captains were needed to stop her rampage. Its shockng they didnt give her their own division after defeating Aizen.
I always knew Unohana was a powerful sword master thanks to reading the databooks and seeing her stats. I was baffled when she never entered the fight. But it would spoil her backstory.
People often forget that Aizen isn't simply op due to KS. It is stated multiple times that base Aizen reached the peak of a shinigami, reiatsu and base stats leagues above every captain (except yamamoto), smartest character in the show next to Kisuke, know every single Kido and have the most broken ability in the show next to the almighty. Even in CFYOW only Zaraki would be able to defeat base Aizen thats just how op he is, especially since KS make him virtually invincible.
"Only two things matter: Force in as great a concentration as you can manage, and style. And in a pinch, style can slide. In any battle, there's always a level of force against which no tactics can succeed."
It’s the amount of disrespect that chest touch had at 2:32 he slowed down just so ichigo could see how badly he could speed blitz him without even trying
Yes. This is what people don't get when they say Ichigo should have yelled at the captains sooner. He yelled as soon as he saw something was off... it happened that fast. Aizen speed blitzes Shinji so hard Shinji goes "wtf?!!" from all the after images. His speed is insane and he almost never shows off how fast he really is. It's like he keeps it at a 4 just to jump to 9 and never even needs the full 10.
@@martinchristianaguilar5135 We have to be honest here. Madara could've done it barefoot if he wanted to. The ONLY way to beat Madara is to make sure he is NOT the main character. Other than that, Madara>>>>
This moment is not only sadness for our captains but TRUE evil incarnate. All of our allies simply went with the idea that Aizen wasn't using his true power only because he told them he wasn't AND they believed him! So when they finally realized he's using his Kyoka Suigetsu ...they ask "When did you start using it??" He replies with "the question you should be asking is when haven't I?" So our heroes just believed him and assumed 😂 only for him to show how minor intelligence they shown and how simple it was to trick them by just L Y I N G . Aizen is great.
Aizen may be evil but no more so than the soul society at large. Considering everything the first gotei 13 did, and what the nobles did, Aizen was mostly justified. The fact he survived and the fact soul society got ravaged by the quincies shows that the scales of justice are always being weighed. Soul society deserved what it got but the innocent were spared. As for Aizen I believe he has the potential to mature and become compassionate the same way Yamamoto did after thousands of years.
Aizen could’ve been the next captain commander or member of zero squad. But he would’ve been eventually sealed away if he from when he was young revealed his true abilities to the Gotie 13.
@@bleachcentral4613 No wonder Yhwach said gotei 13 died with him a thousand years ago. The peace had made them soft. The original gotei would've done whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Like not arresting Koga Kuchiki and Soya Azashiro(8th kenpachi). Or keep refining the mod soul and allowing the use of forbidden kido etc.
from 3:30 to 6:00 was them actually fighting Aizen. Ichigo has never been under the hypnosis of Kyoka Suigetsu. So his recollection from 6:01 to 6:03 is what ACTUALLY HAPPENS.
They really got her ass man it wasn't even a fair fight for one lieutenant to be fighting like what? A quarter if not more of the captains plus all those ex captain and lieutenant visored.
This reminds me of when I started teaching martial arts (Capoeira). They had the new teacher spar all the other instructors/top students in the school. I have been practicing combat sports/Martial arts for 18 yrs at this point and was in my 5th year in Capo. Needless to say, 11 people and one afternoon later, it ended like this. Just without the swordplay n murder. Humbled a few folks that day. There is always someone stronger and better than you expect.
I low key wish that Aizen was the final boss in Bleach rather than Yhwach. This guy is so cool as a villain and definitely has got those powers. Imagine after killing Yhwach, Aizen is freed of all the bondages somehow and the last fight is between him and Ichigo in his true bankai form. That would have been the most epic battle.
@@aimanbabahmed7449 Well Ichigo has beat him before and maybe can also in future. But anyway, everything depends on manga artist on how to lay out the story for it in that case. Evrything is possible for him.
He could bring Grimmjow to his knees just by flexing his reiatsu a bit. Imagine if he did the same when facing the Gotei 13, but going all out. I bet only Shunsui would be able to stay standing
@@notyourdaddude1957 kubo has actually said he's open to the idea of a Bleach remake. Beautiful modern animation, as well as fixing all the story mistakes, retcons, plot holes etc. Imo it should be called Bleach: Reignition
On one hand, Aizen is a great villain, on the other, he is kinda OP. Its kinda hard to believe the disparity between him and almost everyone else. Its like a giant stomping the ants.
how we can assume that aizen just standing and watching he could’ve having conversation with gin about the secret on where the hell he get water in hueco mundo to make that tea
It was at 6:00 that Aizen switched places, you can tell by Ichigo's recalling of events being the real Aizen and just after, Aizen no longer attacked anyone and started to panic.
Like honestly lol how did they not consider Aizen was already using his Shikai. I knew it immediately when I was reading when he started to look worried and knew that it didn’t make sense. I didn’t expect the hinamori paet
@@user-wz4mx2nz3y I'm pretty sure dudes like this guy watch the anime with his eyes on the action not on the subtitles or listen to what they're saying,
Aizen first activated KS right before Ichigo jumped out of the dangai, which is about where you're talking about. He activates it again when he thinks "You are too young" about Hitsugaya. He lifts his blade and that is the moment he switches with Hinamori.
@oneleaf6884 Urahara has secret kido, hado 99, hado 91, an OP Bankai that also enhances his strength to the level where he can easily send an Elite Guard flying across city blocks. Aizen and Kisuke were both part of the war potential list. I think it would come down to the scenario but I think kiske is smart enough to figure a way around Kyouka Suigetsu like old man Yammy did
@@christopherhernandez8856 aizen knows every kido kisuke knows and more... Kisuke even admits that he would've never been able to defeat base Aizen because of his cautious nature..
@mikecash2384 about Aizen knowing more kido thank Kisuke where was that stated? And Kisuke did not say he wouldn't have been able to defeat him he stated that the reiatsu cuffs would not be enough to defeat him and that he would not have been able to use them on him had he not fused with the hogyoku because he had become a bit careless.
@@christopherhernandez8856 In cyfow Kisuke says that Aizen is unparalleled in Kido like how Aura is at using her fullbring abilities.. and in the manga Kisuke says he would've never been able to even touch Aizen much less get the cuffs on him in his base state... the rest is common sense and reading inbetween the lines
