User blog comment:Caesarea37/Aizen and the current state of his Zanpakutō/@comment-5675229-20130321022323

I just put it together! Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu ability is complete hypnosis, no? You notice how when the Hogyoku disintegrated his Zanpakuto, his powers went away shortly after? Maybe, just maybe, Aizen's complete hypnosis affected him, and he thought (as well as others) that he had some crazy powers, when in reality, they were just an illusion created by the will of Kyoka Suigetsu. So, Aizen never had any real power, except in his Zanpakuto. And the Hogyoku? An illusion. if he can swap places somehow with Hinamori, then this should be plausible.
