I doubt Ryuken would stand a chance against Aizen, even if he's Ishida's father, and he had his bluff moment killing two Arrancars in one shot, we don't really know how strong he is, and the fact that he's a Quincy means that he's human, so he's not like other characters that have centuries training, years of planning and preventing, not to mention that, due to him being human, it's highly unlikely that he knows much about the Aizen deed asides from the basic "he wanna rule over tha world". But I do believe Yoruichi is a whole different story. Not only is she a former captain, meaning she can perform Bankai, but she's also Head of the Shihoin Clan and former leader of the Onmitsukido. Granted, she always fights hand-to-hand, but I believe that if the situation called for it, just like Soifon used her Bankai despite hating it, she would use her zanpakuto. And I insist that I doubt Isshin will participate in this war. Heck, I'm not even sure Urahara will show up. We're way too into the climax to have more sudden new miracles appearing. Shame it is, what we wanted to see from his war was the Vizards and Urahara fighting for real, and the Vizards were really wasted by Kubo, but that's what I think
