Way too much stock is being put in things unverified by looking only at situational points that cant be backed up. Ichigo in one instance in the series developed a lvl of power that allowed him to manhandle Aizen. That lvl of power required a specific set up of circumstances in order to get to and was gone by the end. But lets not forget that it wasnt really the correct version of his power. At best its the rushed situational version. With Yamamoto who was already peaked in power. Lets look at the reality. Before Aizen's hogyoku power ups when he was a typical shinigami. It was clear that he wasnt able to take Yamamoto in a fight. He even creates a Arrancar specifically to take out Ryujin Jakka thinking that would help. Why is this because prior to the transformations Aizen may have been more capable then the rank and file for various reasons but not against Yamamoto in a fair fight. Aizen didnt actually disintigrate people until his 3rd from and that was like a regular person, Ichigo's friends were not even affected. Once again in relation to Ichigo it was one instance in the series never shown again. Proving that Ichigo was more powerful then Aizen in that instance but not showcasing that same level of power after these displays of power. Dangai Ichigo is currently irrelevant to the story as is Aizen's previous forms. As powerful as Aizen is he is still strapped to a Chair and held as a prisoner. Your putting alot of stock into a character that was so powerful he got beat and imprisoned and another who has consistently got beat after his amazing dangai showcase.
