How can Aizen be defeated
-- Can Ichigo beat Aizen? No. Not without the help of the Vizards and Shinigami. The most interesting part of the combat won't be the fight against Aizen but what the other characters say, feel, and do. Together they will triumph. Thats not really in question IMO.

Which is a shame because Aizen remains supremely uninteresting in himself. He remains a cardboard cut-out of a villain who says and does things because thats what Big Bads do. We know more about his henchmen then we do of Aizen the leader. When Aizen speaks its only to taunt and verbally skewer his opponents. He speaks of hate and power...but nothing is ever really revealed about the man himself. No flashbacks to reveal why Aizen is such a mench. Aizen is just a shadow on the wall. A very poor choice of ultimate villain by the author of the series.

Heh...Gin would be doing us a favor by putting his blade through Aizen's head and taking up the mantle of Big Bad himself. At least Gin is interesting and shows some sigh of humanity under that mocking grin. Great Cthulhu 21:29, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

I actually think it's a good idea by the writers to not give away too much about Aizen. The characters and readers have the same sense that they really don't know anything about Aizen except that he seems to know everything before hand and is really strong, making his weakness hard to detect. If we knew everything his weaknesses would be obvious. I agree though, personally I'm pretty tired of his arrogance and would like Gin to play more of a role. In the end I'm guessing we'll get a few pieces to Aizen's background, probably from the Captain Commander or Urahara as the story progresses. Ihaveaname 20:51, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

No wonder, Yamamoto didn't stop Aizen in TBTP before he left to Hueco Mundo, I don't believe that Kubo would make Genryusai fight Aizen nor Gin. Anyway they won't be able to kill Aizen in a frontal but rather with a tricky move, say, like a reverse shadow for example...Ace of Spade 11:13, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

I would have been really disappointed if Ichigo, solo, had beaten Aizen through pure strength alone. He's been doing too much of that lately, it just isn't a good plot. Too predictable. Fortunately, the intervention of the Shinigami and Vizards looks as though we might get to see some more Shikais and Bankais - I really hope we get to see Shunsui and Jushiro's Bankais particularly, if Jushiro isn't dead. I still think a better way to end this would be for one of Aizen's subordinates to defeat him though, I'd been hoping for Tosen to do it.

What I think will probably happen, though, is all the Shinigami and Vizards are going to weaken Aizen and then Ichigo will Hollowfy and deal the finishing blow. We haven't seen much of Gin lately though, I suspect he'll probably put in an appearance once everybody seems to have forgotten about him. Snappydog 19:04, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
