Ichigo manages to hit Aizen with Getsuga Tenshō, but Aizen tells him he has failed to kill him. The cut in Aizen's shoulder heals rapidly and he reveals that the Hōgyoku has been embedded in his chest. Aizen then proceeds to tell Ichigo that he was behind his development as a fighter every step of the way, monitoring him and maneuvering him for his needs.
