Okay so this is a lot to take in all at once but here are my thoughts. Original post did say kill not defeat. No Yamamoto couldn't kill Aizen. Kisuke basically says Aizen is immortal. A strong piece of evidence of this is that they don't execute him they make the effort to have Mayuri make that chair to seal him. I think it would have been easier to kill him if it was an option. Defeat yes kill no. Yamamoto was absurdly powerful. I think that he probably wouldn't have been allowed to use his bankai. The fake karakura town was technically a part of soul society but beyond those 4 pillars they were in the world of the living. They said that the power if his bankai was so great that if he was to have it activated for a long time it would destroy soul society. I'll be honest I've no idea what this fragor attack someone mentioned was. I do feel like there was a lot of inconsistencies in how spiritual pressure works. Ywach was able to defeat Yamamoto but he didn't really play fair. He didn't face Yamamoto at his full power. Yamamoto lost one of his arms in the Aizen fight and before he fought the real Ywach he fought Lloyd Royd or whatever the Y sternritter were called before hand. I too think name calling is rude and should be avoided whenever possible I can't speak for everyone but I have a lot of trouble finding people who know enough about this stuff to have this kind of conversation with so I think it best to remain civil when possible and it is ironic to call people idiots about not remembering a character whose name you can't remember yourself ( Wonderweiss btw). I hadn't thought of the possibility of him only sealing shikai but not bankai but with the amount of planning and Aizen's think of everything attitude I feel he would have a contingency plan if that were the case. I believe he said that it sealed it ability to make flames and sealed within Wonderweiss the flames already released. We do know Aizen wasn't invincible though. He was susceptible to being physically wounded. When Ichigo grabs him and throws him out of karakura town Aizen says his physical strength momentarily surpassed his own and I'd say that would be proof he wasn't invulnerable. Someone said something about Aizen having hollow powers and another said he didn't have them. The 2nd one was correct. Aizen himself says he didn't and would not hollowfy himself. So basically I think Yamamoto could have beaten him in a fair fight but Aizen was beyond life and death at that point. If he could have been killed they would have killed him and if hogyoku could have been destroyed Kisuke would have done so. Aizen himself never does any damage to Yamamoto at all beyond stabbing him which Yamamoto basically didn't react to even. The damage done to him was by his own power
