I know I've come into this conversation a little late but I'll say whats on my mind anyway.

Aizen's zanpakuto isn't all that overpowered, really it's pretty similiar to the concept of what Tosen's bankai did, you can't trust your senses any longer because you don't know where Aizen really is. 2 drawbacks are you have to see the release first then as shown by the old man you can tell when you've got him by sensing the swords energy especially if it's inside your body, kinda how Kenpachi defeated Tosen's bankai wouldn't you agree?

Anyway with what's going to happen next there's a million ways this could go, I've noticed how Kubo likes to introduce players very early on, for example, all the way back in Chapter 184 Shinji reveals his skill is reversing things when he writes his name on the school's blackboard backwards. It wasn't until 203 chapters went by until Kubo revealed Shinji's shikai, and guess what it's ability was. We already know Inoue is healing Ishida and from there probably Chad and the others so they could always show up now that Mayuri has worked out how to cross dimensions. We don't know where Urahara, Yourichi, Isshin and Ryuken are and I doubt people on their level of skill are just going to sit back and watch the show. We have no idea whats happened with Grimmjow and Nel, and I wouldn't be surprised if at least Grimmjow crosses over partially recovered if not fully to either take on Ichigo again or be convinced to fight against Aizen, and yes I know Aizen's energy alone brought Grimmjow to his knees but like most characters in Bleach surviving a fight is enough to give you a power boost. Just think of the fights as extreme training.

I could list even more ways but still I doubt anybody reading this came here to find a novel so I'm just going to leave it to you guys to discuss for now.
