User blog comment:Salubri/Final Fight: Reflections of an Unrealistic and Ridiculous Battle/@comment-44061-20100204174815

where does it ever say Aizen was trying to go beyond the limits of Shinigami powers. He obviously did that with the Arrancar but as has been noted he doesn't seem to need any more power. Wouldn't that be overkill on an already overpowered guy. There is likelihood that he believed himself above needing a boost in power when he already was great. Tosen had to hollowfy before he could be a threat. Aizen doesn't. Yea Aizen was showing panic maybe thats his flaw his overconfidence in his power and in underestimation of the others working together. Who knows. Though on the bankai thing yes bankai is a greater reflection of power where the spirit can use its full power as it is brought into the physical world. But there is no deviation into another realm for example.


 * Komamura (shikai: giant appendages, bankai: giant)
 * Hitsugaya (shikai: ice dragon attack, bankai: Ice dragon features more direct manipulation of ice and its related concepts)
 * Tosen (shikai: sound based tones create [multiple blades and induced unconsciousness], bankai: area of sound that cuts off the two major senses).
 * Renji (shikai: extending whiplike blade, bankai: larger extending whiplike snake vertebrae)
 * Ikkaku (shikai: naginata, three-section staff, bankai: spade, naginata blade, axe-shaped blade)
 * Soifon (shikai: finger stinger, bankai: arm stinger/ missile launcher)

My basic point is that it has to be in the realm of an original power. It cant supersede a concept into another realm. Reality warping is way to far from illusion via hypnosis. His shikai would have to manipulate probability in some way for his bankai to be reality warping.
