When we were first shown the Soul King, it was just his upper body that was secured tightely in that place. It almost seemed to me like Soul King was someone really powerful, whose body was hacked up and he was made the "King" to hold the soul society, Hueco Mundo and The living world together. As if he was a prisoner. Could it be that they went and made Aizen the soul king, seeing how he was peirced through his upper body with these...extensions, while he sat on his chair.

Gah! So many questions unanswered..
