There's alot in that fight that doesn't make sense, since Aizen previously had managed to defeat Komamura, Hitsugaya, Love, Rose, Shinji, Kyoraku and Soifon by himself. Suddenly Isshin arrives and is able to best Aizen, without even using his Shikai?!

Aizen must have been holding back, playing with Isshin for some reason. He was probably curious to see what Isshin was planning to do. :/

Gin's Zanpakuto is lightning fast is its Bankai state; not even Aizen could hope to evade a surprise attack from that distance.

But I agree that Gin is stronger than many of the other C-ranked officers on my list, but not enough to make B-rank. (I solved that problem by adding a C+ subcategory due to C-rank being so crowded on my list.) ;) Well, Isshin is pretty strong, despite that Aizen wasn't as defensive since he implanted the Hogyoku into himself. He wasn't as cautious. I dare say that Isshin "could" have been one of the top captains of the Gotei during his time there. Aizen stated White should have been able to defeat any captain level Shinigami with ease if they use just their shikai. Isshin put up a good fight and decapitated its arm. He isn't that weak. thank you
