i hypothesize that aizen is planning on getting himself killed, that's why he pushed ichigo so hard to become stronger with all those battles. and he's probably pushing all of the others with the arrancars. i don't think he KILLED them so this could actually be true. now he's waiting for ichigo to fight him one on one to further his power and defeat him. and he may even have arranged battles for ichigo for after his death. we may never know. he may never tell us. and again, THIS IS JUST A HYPOTHESIS!!!
