User blog comment:Salubri/Aizen, Yamamoto and Wonderweiss/@comment-44061-20100227001850

You said in your first post Aizen was talking about brute strength. Where does he say anything referring to brute strength? When your in a fight attack strength makes a difference. If no one had attack strength then there would be no fights. Your downplaying the fact that Yama is very likely more then capable then Aizen in most combat and Reiatsu is a direct representation of the power so saying there the same level is not true in fact if Yama's attack power is greater, seeing that the reiatsu is what fuels that zanpakuto, means he is also more powerful. Aizen could negate Soifon's shikai but he could not do so much to Yama's. He is more powerful then Soifon in that regard but not Yama.

Also stating that just because Aizen made wonderweiss he must be more intelligent means nothing, Urahara made the Hogyoku and the tech to transfer a whole city into another dimension. So by that logic he's smarter then Aizen who couldnt make a hogyoku and in fact needed it to achieve his goals. Once again your talking about sacrificing himself as if thats the only way he can achieve victory when the sacrifice was to make sure Aizen didn't get away from the attack. As Yama states its about going all the way to achieve his goal, if necessary kill himself to do it. Your taking that to be weakness on his part without saying as much but your intention was quite clear. when you keep bringing up if he was so powerful then why sacrifice himself. Yama is no fool he has to take into account how Aizen dodges attacks and his use of illusions, as was his reasoning of the trap.

Unohana never states anything other then Ichigo has and advantage having not seen Aizen's release and she also comments on his amazing reiatsu saying that because of it he will be there trump card. There are two things giving him an advantage. She never states in any way that he is the only one or anything of the like just that he is a trump card. There really can't be any assumption on what she said more then what she said.

Im not avoiding anything of Yama said your taking it as weakness which is not what it is, its in fact strength and spirit. He never says the only way i can defeat you is if i kill myself too. He says im gonna take you and ill take everyone in the area with me if it means killing you.

If anything your not making your point clear at all cause its all over the place you never clearly state you think anyone is the same level until recent posts, it more or less sounds like your downplaying Yama entirely and then half the things are either your interpretation or not established fact. Your simple statement on the blog should have been I think they are the same level. I dont agree at all but your arguments aren't based on fact but interpretation of those facts. You state as if fact that Yama only is superior in attack power. He is 2000+ years old and the founder of the school that teaches souls to be shinigami. I think its safe to say he has more experience then Aizen in combat.
