Now you might say that Aizen nearly destroyed Karakura Town and killed his own subordinates, but is he really the villain? Ichigo stated after the battle with Aizen that Aizen willingly rejected his own powers and that he just wanted an equal? Which begs the question, why didn't Aizen destroy Karakura when he first arrived? If his true goal was to become the Soul King, why did he bother allowing Ichigo a chance to surpass him? He declared this whole war on Soul Society, but was it really so he could become God? What if this whole war was just so that someone could finally defeat him? Some of you will bring up the Yamamoto power blocking thing as Aizen trying to prevent someone from being more powerful than he is, but what if Aizen did want Soul Society to change, but he wanted it to change through Ichigo instead of him and becoming the Soul King was just Plan B. This is just a thought, but it might lead to an interesting discussion.
