Actually kubo revealed it in 2012 after he drew last chapter, he drew a panel showing himself sitting at the desk drawing bleach manga and Aizen behind him controlling him
According to the light novel “Spirits are Forever with You”, which Kubo illustrated and read/gave his ok and praise, Aizen still has the hogyoku. Also in the anime I believe yhwach confirms this when he says something along the lines of “killing him would take too long because of the hogyoku”.
It's stated even without the Hogyoku he is immortal now, so even if he lost the Hogyoku (which should be the case as it didn't recognize him as master anymore) he still kept the abilities it bestowed upon him because they weren't tied to the Hogyoku. Though his powers were still growing while in Muken so he probably still has it.
@@iXSIKOBOIXi AIzen and the hogyoku are fused, it is on this that his immortality depends, it is not written anywhere that without the hogyoku he is still immortal, Yhwach explicitly specifies that the hogyoku is the reason why he cannot be killed immediately therefore logically without the stone it is vulnerable

Here’s to hoping the anime heavily expands that fight with Aizen and Ywach. He was heavily underutilized in the war. The guy should have fought some of the elite sternritter to flex his power. Btw renji was never in that final battle with ywach. Remember it was part of the illusion. Aizen never saw renji’s new Bankai and the “renji” that lost his arm is the same “ichigo” that also lost his arm
Aizen wasn't the only one underutilized. A lot of them were. Like what the hell did their dads look cool for at the end of one chapter when all they did (last thing they did) was just deliver a bow tip at the end last page of the next chapter. Kind of a shit setup.
@@guyatwork5527 still alot better then most shounens, side characters actually fight important and potentially impactful antagonist.

It would honestly be quite interesting, if part of the reason Aizen was able to for see so many things correctly is that on top of him just being really smart. His Bankai is not combat related but is the opposite of his Shikai. So instead of casting illusions on others, his Bankai casts aside all illusions in reality and allows him to reach a state of enlightenment. The specifics of how this works would probably require some sort of conditions so that it isn't just a rip off Ywatch ability seeing the future, but perhaps it could be to see and understand everything related to a specific thing innately and that it would require conditions to use that scale with how powerful it is kind of like Shunsui's Bankai. This would explain why he was so good at Kido while being a Lieutenant and also how he was able to so consistently manipulate so many characters over a hundred year time span. Perhaps the conditions for this could be related to either spiritual pressure or for him to have to be already more enlightened than the opponent he wants to use it against, so for example, Urahara would be ahead of him, so Aizen cannot use his Bankai to understand or see through Urahara nor Ywatch, same for Dangai Ichigo. Additionally, he may not enlightened already which would be a good way of balancing him since he is so smart he could end up blocking off his own Bankai by logically deducing things. And perhaps he can only be enlightened on a limited number of things at a time, so for him to remain enlightened on his plan for everything during a majority of the story leading up to when he gains the Hōgyoku, his bankai cannot be used on the condition it has already been used for 1 state of enlightenment. Maybe there are 3 steps of enlightenment, Mind & Body, like Yin & Yang and then a 3rd step that can only be used under very specific circumstances that would allow him 100% info and understanding of an opponent but to create the Hōgyoku(Enlightenment of Body), he had to sacrifice 1 of these states of enlightenment to achieve it because then that state would be active permanently, existing as the Hōgyoku. Because of this he can only ever achieve 1 state of enlightenment after(before merging), this could also be official reason he was able to merge with it, as that would allow him to permanently achieve the final state of the Bankai but Ichigo was beyond him and thus did not satisfy the condition to use it against him. This would also make sense as to how Aizen intended on taking on a being that literally existed as God, the creator of everything. As he would need this third, broken tier of Bankai to challenge him, say if Dangai Ichigo pushed him up several more evolutions and then had his power absorbed by Aizen. Think of it kind of like the Six Eyes that Gojo has in JJK, except much more limited and with conditions.
Kind of funny that because Yhwach can see possibilities and in one of those he saw the release of Kyoka Suigetsu, thus fulfilling complete Hypnosis's conditions
Just a prediction but the reason why Aizen was so calculative in soul society was all due to old man Yamamoto's Bankai. After seeing what that thing could do in the final arc, I understand why he moved with such caution regardless of his power. I still think there were a lot of writing inconsistencies with the final arc and too many broken Quency powers. But still, I love the anime so don't @ me please.
No wonder the Quincy are strong they're literally the strongest ones left and chosen only because they're the strongest of the ones left... Why none of them have shit abilities... Yhwach can see the future so why give his subordinates some of his blood if they have a shit ability and remember he can give other species letters like the Quincy they're placed on the soul
When I think of Aizen's bankai only one thing comes to mind and that's reality manipulation/control,(at the very least). Bankais are generally just more powerful version of the shikai, so if Kyoukasuigetsu has the power of hypnosis over all 5 senses to create illusions then the next step would be those illusions becoming reality itself. I can see why Kubo has never and will never reveal his bankai, it's just too op.

@@TheChill001 he is basically in the exact form we saw him get sealed in. still fused with everything and still able to use its power. he is literally just sealed away. If you remember the seal itself needed aizen to be a certain power level to even work

@Andrew Gan that would make sense, that or its literally the mirror image of whatever is looking at it (him) or it has no true appearance and just appears however he imagines it.
I think the one responsible for breaking Aizen's seal is Soya Azashiro because if he can break it by himself aizen can not being sealed anymore, he can wait in front of the muken door, killing those who enter and then leave with ease, Aizen is not only fused with his Zanpakutō but also with his Hogyoku.
Aizen in the story is a conflicted person. Due to Ichigo stating he felt loneliness and ichigo felt bad. So Bleach's power system is very different and unlike other's. So unlike many shonen, ichigo is the perfect example. Ichigo was strong as a human, he knew who he was, then rukia comes and then ichigo "Has to" Stay a soul reaper. Then he fights grand Fisher and his father tells him " if masaki saw you hurting, I couldnt face her knowing I failed". Then kisuke comes in,then his fight with kenpachi, he get dragged into his inner world to fight White, and gives the the " just because you know a name doesn't make him a friend. Then shinji comes to okay, and how dies he get his hollow down, he fights and talks with White who helps him understand with the king and the horse. Later in dangai he battles tensa zangetsu for 3 months and to understand the "The final it was to let zangetsu fusion with you. So anyway Aizen is strong but not emotionally. Which is why he stayed in the mukën self reflect and as states by kisuke Aizen got stronger. So it's not time due that his shikai already
noone knows his bankai. Kubo never intended on giving him one hence why he transcended with the hogyokyu. He is above bankai and shinigami. His bankai is hogyogku. Whatever he desires is his. So yes it is reality warping
@@donaldbarnes2677 I mean It'd still be cool to see his bankai. Imagine the HYPE. Aizen megafans like myself would be shitting their pants. Like it'd be such a huge fanservice but also one of the most definitive moments of bleach if that ever happens. Although the mysteriousness and nature of him not using a bankai or having one makes his character stand out that much more.
@@nailinthefashion Ywach’s ability is to foresaw that future and make it a reality, meaning he can only control the scenarios, while aizen’s bankai is boundless and limit only to imagination!
@@zerocrusade2531 not me I like to think my imagination has no limit but that's just me I think I can Invision a possible bankai for Aizen trust me I have seen crazier powers that would break most people's minds trying to understand.
What if Aizen could reverse his own perceptions of time thereby sending him back to the point he is currently perceiving? That would explain why Aizen knows everything about anything as he’s already seen it before. That would fundamentally make him unbeatable as he need not plan for all eventualities but rather the actions his opponents are going to do at any given moment with the optimal counter. Also due to his ability being perception based I think his only shows him the one true timeline that is always destined to happen rather then the infinite manifold possibilities that may or may not happen
He didn't body EVERY captain. He created a scenario where he didn't have to fight the strongest captains aside from the head captain and for some reason Unohana did f*ck all too despite being there when Aizen was picking the other captains apart. If she fought, that battle would have turned out a lot different. Time stop as his bankai ability also makes no sense because his shikai is complete hypnosis, a bankai's abilities are supposed to significantly enhance the abilities of the shikai...not change all together.
18:01 OMG Aizen is quite wise and I like his lesson. Suffering makes hope and courage. I learned this from him. He is a true teacher of life, more than life coach!!! Love and respect him!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Nah. Did he really mess with Yhwach's perception of time? I think he just made the whole elevator ride, walk, and conversation, look shorter than it is. Yhwach could have been caught doing multiple blank stares but he actually thinks he just had a minute-long verbal exchange with Aizen. All according to Aizen's plan? All allowed by Altair to be written.
I always wondered about that. Since his Kyoka Suigetsu manipulates the 5 senses, what senses would one need to specifically target to affect someone’s perception of time? I feel like your perception of time is something separate from your 5 senses, unless he can manipulate more than just the 5 senses but I don’t remember him stating that he could.
I've always been of the opinion that Azien never had a bankai he used his shika to pretend to have one Though I've heard a theory that I think could be likely that he never used his bankai cause the effects of his shika would end of the did
I have a feeling that with Aizen being so meticulous about everything, revealing how his Shikai works is something Aizen would never do. I think his shikai is also not what he claims.
His shikai is able to effect the five senses, his bankai must be able to alter all of his opponents perception. This includes time, pain, spiritual pressure, fear, confidence, you name it. This would be the only explanation of how Aizen could control Yahwha sense of time since it’s not a five sense. Nobody has heard or seen his bankai’s activation bc he probably uses his shikai to mask its release.
Aizen has never used his Bankai. No it is not shielded, he simply has never used it. He it is unknown if he actually has one. Also it his Bankai could be completely different than his Shikai. Also he only tricked Yhwach's five senses. Think sensory deprivation tank. You lose track of time.
@@pyrolight7568 sense of time is how long you perceive event play out. Alterations of none of the five senses, nor sight or hearing, can effect it. Sense of time is also listed as a different sense then the other five senses of you look it up
All of those are dictated by the 5 senses. Perception of space and time is directly reliant on the 5 senses, spiritual pressure is explained to be tied to the sense of sight. External reikaku is at least. You can even trick someone into experiencing pain and fear through the 5 senses. By taking control of you 5 senses, Aizen quite literally takes over your sense of reality.
@@corruptangel6793 guess blind and deaf people have no perception of time. Unless touch, taste, and smell are huge components of it. Oh and which five senses does your circadian rhythm fall under
@@justinfox1432 yes but aizen can affect perception of events even if he's not altering time he can change the perception of an event by altering their five senses
Aizens Bankai is probably something that’s is verily situational Aimee to shinjis and that way he never used it because his Shikai is more useful to him
I have only just realised that aizen in his crysalis stage looks like an azuchi(the zanpaktou things) kinda mirrioring them until it meshes with his soul , like the azuchi do with ichigo, renji etc
Aizen could have easily made it seem like he mastered bankai. He controls all of the 5 senses, which gives him the capability to not let his opponent see or hear his shikai command. But then again Aizen is a genius he probably understands the benefits of learning bankai, so he eventually had one.
@@no1any He is the perfect being. And Bankai is a 10x multiplier, there is no reason not to achieve it, especially since he went so far in order to become stronger.
Aizen and Ichigo are the only 2 shinigamis who have achieved the highest form of Zampakto fusion. 1st Stage - Zampakto Hollofication powerup. 2nd Stage - Zampakto blade fused with the User. No handle. 3rd stage - Aizen's Complete fusion with K.S and Ichigo's "The Blade is me" moment. It's just that the path they took were different. Aizen used Hogyoku for his Fusion and was a Physical fusion to his Body. But Ichigo trained showed trust to his Zangetsu's. So his fusion with Zangetsu is more like a sweet metaphor and a Spiritual and emotional bond. P.S. You could argue that the Final Getsuga could also be counted as a complete Fusion with his Zampakto but it's a one time thing so... keeping it aside.
time distortion would make sense since his shikai only manipulates 5 senses and time would make it 6, not to mention it would also make sense he doesn't use it in his battle with the captains as they really aren't trying to buy time for anything and would fight him as long as it took whether it be 2 seconds or 2000 years so it would be pointless and if its pointless then its no use for azien. it could be it also manipulates more sense like balance and temperature, along with time
He also, beat that Bull arrancar, basic bitch form ichigo, that one xcution member with then muddy ass boots, and then after the show was done he beat rukias box.
The only thing I can see his bankai being is gaining the ability to change and alter some ones memories to the point they're a new person, complete mind manipulation. But my theory is he has the capacity to wield a bankai but hasnt controlled his zanpakuto's spirit. He probably fears fighting himself the most because if he takes on that battle to obtain his bankai he'll face his own shikai and relive what he hates most, his god complex comes from his strength and wit not his heart.
@@GoldWristX it wasn’t his Bankai that was True Shikai not bankai. Every time he tried active it got broken cause Yhwach said it was too overwhelming for him
I can only imagine that Aizen's bankai would be very chaotic and uncontrolled. I imagine it would alter, distort, and destroy reality in ways that are quite probably deadly to Aizen as well.
He mentioned he subjugated It’s absorbed into his body physically. Yes. But he didn’t absorb it. He just took it under his control. If you remember he said the hyogoku had a will of it’s own. And he was able to put it under his control. To use. Because he is so strong.
An interesting theory, but I think the assumption that perfect hypnosis can't effect the perception of time will be a stumbling block for most people, if only because pretty much every other comparable power in anime explicitly can, so why wouldn't the most unbalanced and unrestricted version be able to. Still, good call out for all the evidence that he does actually have one that Kubo never used.
Another top tier in-depth break down analysis of one of the greatest bleach characters that is Aizen . Well done ABD well done 👏🏿. In your opinion is Aizen greater than Uwuabach and the soul king? Who can rival Aizen or even superior to him?
The silver arrow hitting Juha would've made more sense if aizen manipulated him at that moment. I hope we get an explanation to that or extra scenes. I think Aizen having an impact on juha where it gave uryu an opening would've made it more understandable.
The Antiteses was actived, and the Almighty can't seem to see all of it, probably the Antiteses and Soul King pieces. No need to Aizen hax in that moment.
Shatter is what breaks the illusion, Aizen doesn't actually have a Bankai. As he never considered he needed one. He doesn't care about his sword. He used his shikai to make others think he has an ice type bankai so he could become captain.
Few things to point out 1. Aizen still has hogyoku inside him , Just It does not grant wishes anymore only immortality and reaitsu 2. Aizen is no longer in Prison after 10 year skip One shot of Hell Verse it was revealed that he had DIsapeared.
No hes still in muken its just that because hes inmuken his reiatsu cannot be felt in soul society, its as if his reistu isnt in soul society anymore, that plus yamas reiatsu actually dissappearing from soul society because its in hell is was caused the balance to be thrown off allowing people to escape hell.
11:30 i wholly disagree with this point. Aizen said once under his shikai he does not need to release it again to manipulate your senses; and we know for a fact he showed ALL the captains his shikai in the captain ceremony thing where you show every captain and VC your shikai and bankai. That was how he got everyone under KS to make them think he had a water type zanpakotou
My theory; Aizen activated his bankai prior to becoming a Captain and the Aizen we see now is just the spirit of his sword taking his place… as he watches from his own “realm” he developed. The next arc is definitely going to be The Rain of Aizen
Shinji and the other vizards weren’t exiled. They were meant to be killed but Yurichi took them to the land of the living with Kisuke when they escaped. This is explained in both the anime and manga.
I think Ichigo is like a pet project to Aizen. Aizen could have gotten Ichigo under his swords power at any time, but seemingly chose to never do so. It makes me wonder if Aizen purposefully made Ichigo his fail-safe as well as his own personal loop hole. Even though Ichigo beat Aizen, it wasn't outside of the bounds of Aizen's plans. I would almost believe that Aizen knew so much about Ichigo (likely his entire heritage and what he has inherited) that he knew he shouldn't interfere with him because he knew he could use him; even after losing to Ichigo.
I have my own theory I don't think he has one purely because he doesn't need one his shikai suits his needs. With how manipulatives he is he could easily subjugate his zanpakuto spirit. And the test approved he has a bankai not like he even has to try it with that he could just put everybody under his perfect hypnosis and make them believe he has one
The reason Aizen didn't use or unlock his Bankai because Ichibe would have been able to know the name and use of his Zanpakto and stop him. Aizen simply didn't unlock Bankai even if the Zanpakto spirit is under his control.
Actually kubo revealed it in 2012 after he drew last chapter, he drew a panel showing himself sitting at the desk drawing bleach manga and Aizen behind him controlling him

@Andrew Gan that would make sense, that or its literally the mirror image of whatever is looking at it (him) or it has no true appearance and just appears however he imagines it.
Yes he has, search it, you'll find it.
Loved the way you said, "literally evolved like a butterfly" 8:32
Aizen: "behold my Bankai, ZA WARUDO!"
Yhwach: SUTAA PLATINA: ZA WARUDO
I think the one responsible for breaking Aizen's seal is Soya Azashiro because if he can break it by himself aizen can not being sealed anymore, he can wait in front of the muken door, killing those who enter and then leave with ease, Aizen is not only fused with his Zanpakutō but also with his Hogyoku.
Aizen in the story is a conflicted person. Due to Ichigo stating he felt loneliness and ichigo felt bad.
So Bleach's power system is very different and unlike other's. So unlike many shonen, ichigo is the perfect example. Ichigo was strong as a human, he knew who he was, then rukia comes and then ichigo "Has to"
Stay a soul reaper. Then he fights grand Fisher and his father tells him " if masaki saw you hurting, I couldnt face her knowing I failed".
Then kisuke comes in,then his fight with kenpachi, he get dragged into his inner world to fight White, and gives the the " just because you know a name doesn't make him a friend.
Then shinji comes to okay, and how dies he get his hollow down, he fights and talks with White who helps him understand with the king and the horse.
Later in dangai he battles tensa zangetsu for 3 months and to understand the "The final it was to let zangetsu fusion with you.
So anyway Aizen is strong but not emotionally. Which is why he stayed in the mukën self reflect and as states by kisuke Aizen got stronger.
So it's not time due that his shikai already
this channel is the only channel i hit like before starting the video. you guys funny asf
Aizen playing 4d chess while everyone else is playing tic tac toe
noone knows his bankai. Kubo never intended on giving him one hence why he transcended with the hogyokyu. He is above bankai and shinigami. His bankai is hogyogku. Whatever he desires is his. So yes it is reality warping
@@donaldbarnes2677 I mean It'd still be cool to see his bankai. Imagine the HYPE. Aizen megafans like myself would be shitting their pants. Like it'd be such a huge fanservice but also one of the most definitive moments of bleach if that ever happens. Although the mysteriousness and nature of him not using a bankai or having one makes his character stand out that much more.
Yourube tells me ive already seen this video but im still gonna watch it again just for the GOAT of all antagonists
I think Aizen's Bankai makes his illusions into reality and thus makes it very risky to use.
Basically a more OP version of Kyoraku's Bankai.
The irony of a Quincy doing that now
@@nailinthefashion Ywach’s ability is to foresaw that future and make it a reality, meaning he can only control the scenarios, while aizen’s bankai is boundless and limit only to imagination!
@@zerocrusade2531 so basically the visionary? I always speculated Aizens bankai is like the reality stone form marvel.
@@blackAngelProductions Yes but maybe the author has surpassed my imagination in his idea of Aizen's Bankai.
@@zerocrusade2531 not me I like to think my imagination has no limit but that's just me I think I can Invision a possible bankai for Aizen trust me I have seen crazier powers that would break most people's minds trying to understand.
17:56 hits harder and depressing
Wait, i thought Aizen's bankai is to summon Momo the immortal to get wrecked in his place.
What if Aizen could reverse his own perceptions of time thereby sending him back to the point he is currently perceiving? That would explain why Aizen knows everything about anything as he’s already seen it before. That would fundamentally make him unbeatable as he need not plan for all eventualities but rather the actions his opponents are going to do at any given moment with the optimal counter. Also due to his ability being perception based I think his only shows him the one true timeline that is always destined to happen rather then the infinite manifold possibilities that may or may not happen
That's just The Almighty with extra steps
@@drkblu3394 yep HAHAHA the almighty but longer.
He didn't body EVERY captain.
He created a scenario where he didn't have to fight the strongest captains aside from the head captain and for some reason Unohana did f*ck all too despite being there when Aizen was picking the other captains apart.
If she fought, that battle would have turned out a lot different.
Time stop as his bankai ability also makes no sense because his shikai is complete hypnosis, a bankai's abilities are supposed to significantly enhance the abilities of the shikai...not change all together.
This man is responsible for Ichigo existence there wouldn't be no bleach without aizen he was cocky smart manipulative powerful
AIZEN's bankai's ability would manifesting everyone and his inner self reflection into reality
Aizen finally getting the recognition he deserved...Since Bleach returned people finally witnessed who Aizen is...
the GOAT.🥶
AIzen never wanted to destory soul society he always wanted to overthrow the soul king who he deemed unfit to rule over all of soul society
Plot twist: Turns out Aizen's bankai was actualy Ichigo all along
Imagine Aizen, Meyuri and Urahara all working together, it would be bussin
No thanks. I ought to be thinking twice to be fighting all three of them
18:01 OMG Aizen is quite wise and I like his lesson.
Suffering makes hope and courage.
I learned this from him. He is a true teacher of life, more than life coach!!!
Love and respect him!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Nah. Did he really mess with Yhwach's perception of time? I think he just made the whole elevator ride, walk, and conversation, look shorter than it is. Yhwach could have been caught doing multiple blank stares but he actually thinks he just had a minute-long verbal exchange with Aizen.
All according to Aizen's plan?
All allowed by Altair to be written.
I always wondered about that. Since his Kyoka Suigetsu manipulates the 5 senses, what senses would one need to specifically target to affect someone’s perception of time? I feel like your perception of time is something separate from your 5 senses, unless he can manipulate more than just the 5 senses but I don’t remember him stating that he could.
@@woosh1342 lol
Try some grass and you’ll see.
@@bkroberts89 ?
@@royalreptile923 He affected his sense of time.
Aizen really hit them with the bishop sniper🥵🥵
Could it be... that Aizen tricked them into thinking that they sealed him for good when in fact he's free out there planning his next moves?
Wow Never been this Early
Keep up the good content
They never show aizen bankai in the manga but I'm here cause I'm a fan 😂
I've always been of the opinion that Azien never had a bankai he used his shika to pretend to have one
Though I've heard a theory that I think could be likely that he never used his bankai cause the effects of his shika would end of the did
Yesss finally!,an aizen video 🔥💯
I have a feeling that with Aizen being so meticulous about everything, revealing how his Shikai works is something Aizen would never do. I think his shikai is also not what he claims.
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
1)changes the fate.. ichi san.. 2)stop time.. aizen san..3)see the future..yuha bach san
3) Rewrites the future at will... Yuha Bach san.
@@TheArcSet Shūkurō Tsukishim .. rewrite the past
His shikai is able to effect the five senses, his bankai must be able to alter all of his opponents perception. This includes time, pain, spiritual pressure, fear, confidence, you name it. This would be the only explanation of how Aizen could control Yahwha sense of time since it’s not a five sense. Nobody has heard or seen his bankai’s activation bc he probably uses his shikai to mask its release.
Aizen has never used his Bankai. No it is not shielded, he simply has never used it. He it is unknown if he actually has one. Also it his Bankai could be completely different than his Shikai.
Also he only tricked Yhwach's five senses. Think sensory deprivation tank. You lose track of time.
@@pyrolight7568 sense of time is how long you perceive event play out. Alterations of none of the five senses, nor sight or hearing, can effect it. Sense of time is also listed as a different sense then the other five senses of you look it up
All of those are dictated by the 5 senses. Perception of space and time is directly reliant on the 5 senses, spiritual pressure is explained to be tied to the sense of sight. External reikaku is at least. You can even trick someone into experiencing pain and fear through the 5 senses.
By taking control of you 5 senses, Aizen quite literally takes over your sense of reality.
@@corruptangel6793 guess blind and deaf people have no perception of time. Unless touch, taste, and smell are huge components of it. Oh and which five senses does your circadian rhythm fall under
@@justinfox1432 yes but aizen can affect perception of events even if he's not altering time he can change the perception of an event by altering their five senses
Rengi abari is so good at taking L's he takes them even when he's not even there
Hey yo , loving this vid , I didn't think azien had bankai , and I love that beat at 4:39 in the vid, keep doing what y'all do best and✌🏾😁
Aizens Bankai is probably something that’s is verily situational Aimee to shinjis and that way he never used it because his Shikai is more useful to him
Goku and Freeza : ICHIGO AND AIZEN! LETSS GOOO!!!
Idk if i like Aizen with glasses w:o or masked up but Regardless he got the Villian antagonist game on lock 😭
Aizen is probably trying to see how strong he would get in the next 20000 years. That's why he willingly got himself sealed again.
He had to have a bankai and showed the 13 court guards
I have only just realised that aizen in his crysalis stage looks like an azuchi(the zanpaktou things) kinda mirrioring them until it meshes with his soul , like the azuchi do with ichigo, renji etc
Aizen could have easily made it seem like he mastered bankai. He controls all of the 5 senses, which gives him the capability to not let his opponent see or hear his shikai command. But then again Aizen is a genius he probably understands the benefits of learning bankai, so he eventually had one.
This is what happened, he didn't need a bankai because his shikai is so OP. He might not have one a bankai in the first place.
@@no1any But wouldn't having a bankai ensure his victory on the Soul King
@@no1any He has no reason not to have one.
@@no1any He is the perfect being. And Bankai is a 10x multiplier, there is no reason not to achieve it, especially since he went so far in order to become stronger.
Aizen and Ichigo are the only 2 shinigamis who have achieved the highest form of Zampakto fusion.
1st Stage - Zampakto Hollofication powerup.
2nd Stage - Zampakto blade fused with the User. No handle.
3rd stage - Aizen's Complete fusion with K.S and Ichigo's "The Blade is me" moment.
It's just that the path they took were different. Aizen used Hogyoku for his Fusion and was a Physical fusion to his Body. But Ichigo trained showed trust to his Zangetsu's. So his fusion with Zangetsu is more like a sweet metaphor and a Spiritual and emotional bond.
P.S. You could argue that the Final Getsuga could also be counted as a complete Fusion with his Zampakto but it's a one time thing so... keeping it aside.
Aizen never used Bankai in Bleach. That MAY be shown in the new Hell arc coming.
time distortion would make sense since his shikai only manipulates 5 senses and time would make it 6, not to mention it would also make sense he doesn't use it in his battle with the captains as they really aren't trying to buy time for anything and would fight him as long as it took whether it be 2 seconds or 2000 years so it would be pointless and if its pointless then its no use for azien. it could be it also manipulates more sense like balance and temperature, along with time
"Renji is the king of taking L"💀💀💀
Renji definitely didn’t lose to everybody, he beat mask de masculine.
He has at least 1 win in every arc. Well, except for the Soul Society arc, unless you include symbolic victories.
Bro dodged a light beam in Shikai, took an onslaught of city block+ attacks and survived a vaporizing star beam... Then proceeded to merk this fool.
Renji is Bleach's Krillen 😂😂
He also, beat that Bull arrancar, basic bitch form ichigo, that one xcution member with then muddy ass boots, and then after the show was done he beat rukias box.
Everyone : Shinji Hirako is such a noob.
Shinji Hirako: I used to be a captain of Azien.
Actually Aizen is still fused with the hogyuku and we likely can expect more from him in Kazuis story
I highly doubt even aizen has a zanpukto spirit at this point he is op on his own
I'm really happy to see aizen's redemption.. I always knew he had some good in him
Said nobody ever...he will never seek redemption!
6:18 Espadurrrr Lmao
Aizens Bankai is the ability to manipulate reality around him not the senses of his enemies.
The only thing I can see his bankai being is gaining the ability to change and alter some ones memories to the point they're a new person, complete mind manipulation. But my theory is he has the capacity to wield a bankai but hasnt controlled his zanpakuto's spirit. He probably fears fighting himself the most because if he takes on that battle to obtain his bankai he'll face his own shikai and relive what he hates most, his god complex comes from his strength and wit not his heart.
By far aizen is my favorite anime character beside itachi
Aizen still had the Hogyoku while in Muken. Yhwach even says it might be an issue if they fought
Ichigos' plot armor was his bankai. Ichigo couldn't have grown without him and in the end saved everything.
@♢ The Dream Arena his plot armor is his genetics. But he keeps doubting himself.
💀 ichigo bankai was never shown that was his True shikai
@@randybrown5031 It was
@@GoldWristX it wasn’t his Bankai that was True Shikai not bankai. Every time he tried active it got broken cause Yhwach said it was too overwhelming for him
I can only imagine that Aizen's bankai would be very chaotic and uncontrolled.
I imagine it would alter, distort, and destroy reality in ways that are quite probably deadly to Aizen as well.
Aizen never lost the hyogoku, he absorbed it
He mentioned he subjugated It’s absorbed into his body physically. Yes. But he didn’t absorb it. He just took it under his control. If you remember he said the hyogoku had a will of it’s own. And he was able to put it under his control. To use. Because he is so strong.
This video is top shelf content!
This video may see itself being true when the fight occurs in the anime. Great content as usual.
Basically Aizen become like the Soul Kings both in power and mindset. He accept his fate and stay being sealed by shinigami..
I'm convinced from the beginning of the show, he always had his bankai active. We just believed it was his Shikai.
That would lowkey piss me off
@@KushKillz to the extreme degree
An interesting theory, but I think the assumption that perfect hypnosis can't effect the perception of time will be a stumbling block for most people, if only because pretty much every other comparable power in anime explicitly can, so why wouldn't the most unbalanced and unrestricted version be able to.
Still, good call out for all the evidence that he does actually have one that Kubo never used.
Another top tier in-depth break down analysis of one of the greatest bleach characters that is Aizen . Well done ABD well done 👏🏿. In your opinion is Aizen greater than Uwuabach and the soul king? Who can rival Aizen or even superior to him?
nah he can be the author of everything written, being written and to be written
The silver arrow hitting Juha would've made more sense if aizen manipulated him at that moment. I hope we get an explanation to that or extra scenes. I think Aizen having an impact on juha where it gave uryu an opening would've made it more understandable.
The Antiteses was actived, and the Almighty can't seem to see all of it, probably the Antiteses and Soul King pieces. No need to Aizen hax in that moment.
Time’s passage is heavily affected by perception. He didn’t have to manipulate time, just Bach’s perception of its passage for him to be stalled.
I’m gona be so balls ⚽️ 🏀 🏈 deep in anime this year I’m gona start my own Harem
Aizen is the perfect example of
Fear the most silent one in the room
What if Udahara is the mind of the soul king
Thats gremmy
Shatter is what breaks the illusion, Aizen doesn't actually have a Bankai. As he never considered he needed one. He doesn't care about his sword. He used his shikai to make others think he has an ice type bankai so he could become captain.
Few things to point out
1. Aizen still has hogyoku inside him , Just It does not grant wishes anymore only immortality and reaitsu
2. Aizen is no longer in Prison after 10 year skip One shot of Hell Verse it was revealed that he had DIsapeared.
No hes still in muken its just that because hes inmuken his reiatsu cannot be felt in soul society, its as if his reistu isnt in soul society anymore, that plus yamas reiatsu actually dissappearing from soul society because its in hell is was caused the balance to be thrown off allowing people to escape hell.
11:30
i wholly disagree with this point. Aizen said once under his shikai he does not need to release it again to manipulate your senses; and we know for a fact he showed ALL the captains his shikai in the captain ceremony thing where you show every captain and VC your shikai and bankai. That was how he got everyone under KS to make them think he had a water type zanpakotou
My theory;
Aizen activated his bankai prior to becoming a Captain and the Aizen we see now is just the spirit of his sword taking his place… as he watches from his own “realm” he developed. The next arc is definitely going to be The Rain of Aizen
Crazy that the end of aizen story is almost like the beginning of a redemption arc haha
I’ll never understand these videos waffling over nothing he doesn’t have a Bankai confirmed anywhere
Garbage channel, he's all about that clickbaiting, nothing worthy really lol
He does. Kubo himself confirmed in an interview, and that his Bankai only works on people who are already under the influence of Kyoka Suigetsu.
Continue to believe in your idiocies. When someone tells you the truth you don't want believe
Not even a bleach fan, get out of here
Aizen is such a giga chad he reflected on his mistakes
Shinji and the other vizards weren’t exiled. They were meant to be killed but Yurichi took them to the land of the living with Kisuke when they escaped. This is explained in both the anime and manga.
I think Ichigo is like a pet project to Aizen. Aizen could have gotten Ichigo under his swords power at any time, but seemingly chose to never do so.
It makes me wonder if Aizen purposefully made Ichigo his fail-safe as well as his own personal loop hole. Even though Ichigo beat Aizen, it wasn't outside of the bounds of Aizen's plans. I would almost believe that Aizen knew so much about Ichigo (likely his entire heritage and what he has inherited) that he knew he shouldn't interfere with him because he knew he could use him; even after losing to Ichigo.
aizen only lose to plot armor
Yhwacht: your kyouka suygetsu is broken!!
Aizen: ZA WARUDOOO
I have my own theory I don't think he has one purely because he doesn't need one his shikai suits his needs. With how manipulatives he is he could easily subjugate his zanpakuto spirit. And the test approved he has a bankai not like he even has to try it with that he could just put everybody under his perfect hypnosis and make them believe he has one
My man planned the whole show with Kubo himself 🛐🗿
The reason Aizen didn't use or unlock his Bankai because Ichibe would have been able to know the name and use of his Zanpakto and stop him.
Aizen simply didn't unlock Bankai even if the Zanpakto spirit is under his control.
He not scared of Ichibe
