User blog comment:Salubri/Final Fight: Reflections of an Unrealistic and Ridiculous Battle/@comment-1272757-20100211172557

Well, look at the it this way: Aizen had to use Koyoka Suigetsu. If he hadn't, he would've been skewered. Also, something that seems to really bug you Salubri is how "overpowered" Aizen is, and that it looks like Ichigo will just get a sudden power boost in order to defeat him. However, I recall that in a previos chapter, Unohana believed that Ichigo was at full power due to his captain-level spirital power, when in actuality, his shikahukosho (r whatever you call 'em) revealed that he was at only about a fraction of his full strength. This shows that Ichigo probably has the most Spiritual Power of any character in the series, more than "twice the Spiritual Power of a normal captian", which Aizen himself claims to be his own level of power. Also, we seem to be forgetting that Aizen has been around most of these Captains and Vice-captains for centuries now. Put that together with his high intellect, and it isn't surprising that he's beating them. Granted, he does seem quite powerful, maybe too powerful, but we have to realise that because of the time he spent with these characters, he knows them. How they think, their abilities, their fighting styles; while they no little to nothing about how he really works. So, it's understandable as to why he is winning at the moment. Don't like it, but it's understandable.

We must also recall that we have yet to see some other characters join the battle as well. Yamamoto, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Isshin; heck, we haven't even seen Nanao or Chojiro in the battle. I personally don't get the whole Momo thing, and why Kubo had Ichigo just stand there and watch (something that bugs even me), but we will have to see what happens. Basically, it's just another curveball that Bleach should be all too well known for by now. This one just doesnt happen to be favorable. All you can do is continue reading, and see what Kubo throws our way next. Heck, maybe we could even see Yachiru in combat! You never know.
