I called it that ichigo's bankai was never cracked, Aizen is the troll of all trolls only 2nd to tite kubo-sensei. we all know that won't kill him. also, I think the only real reason lilie was sent down to the seretie previously was to indirectly free aizen, but if kubo was really rushed, then he likely killed lilie off screen by kira and just had ywhach free him due to his cockiness. But the way aizen tricked him was flawless, this also proves that the almighty is not invincible, he can alter the future, but not a future that is an illusion.

also, aizen fought not for soul society, but for revenge for chair-sama.
