There's alot in that fight that doesn't make sense, since Aizen previously had managed to defeat Komamura, Hitsugaya, Love, Rose, Shinji, Kyoraku and Soifon by himself. Suddenly Isshin arrives and is able to best Aizen, without even using his Shikai?!

Aizen must have been holding back, playing with Isshin for some reason. He was probably curious to see what Isshin was planning to do. :/

Gin's Zanpakuto is lightning fast is its Bankai state; not even Aizen could hope to evade a surprise attack from that distance.

But I agree that Gin is stronger than many of the other C-ranked officers on my list, but not enough to make B-rank. (I solved that problem by adding a C+ subcategory due to C-rank being so crowded on my list.) ;)

it's not a matter of speed, in that form aizen was so tough that the Kōtotsu(gin called it a being of reason which one should not go up against with Reiatsu:http://www.mangareader.net/94-53161-5/bleach/chapter-407.html) destroyed it's self by ramming into him. it would take more than just speed to hurt him.

now with the fight between Aizen and Isshin, Aizen was clearly exhausted and slowing down(plus he admitted that he was at his limit:http://www.mangareader.net/94-50586-21/bleach/chapter-400.html).
