User blog comment:Caesarea37/Aizen and the current state of his Zanpakutō/@comment-1393830-20130319190356/@comment-4639012-20130319192152

Of course. That is rather simple. Apologies, I seem to have looked too much into this little altercation. I got the impression that Aizen had retained some of his illusory powers and affected Yhwach, but reflecting upon it, it really didn't and wouldn't have achieved anything anyway. Ah well. However, an issue I'd still like to discuss is Aizen's zanpakutou. Some information has been given in the series regarding the regeneration of zanpakutou. Is it fair to say that Aizen either retains his zanpakutou or that he has the potential to recover it? I suppose it might not matter a jot if he were never to be free from Muken, but it's an issue which has vexed me since his sentencing. Does he not also retain the Hogyoku? Come to think of it, perhaps Kyouka Suigetsu's in a sense 'broken' like Tensa Zangetsu and would require the training with the Asauchi that Nimaiya demonstrated? Mere conjecture of course. Apologies if I appear to be running away with my thoughts here.
