Shinji reveals the ability of his Zanpakutō but Aizen is unimpressed.
Summary:
Meanwhile, Tōsen remembers the time when he found out that his friend's killer would not be executed. He begged Central 46 to reconsider and goes on to remember his friend, Aizen, his Hollowfication and the funeral of his friend. He then opens his eyes to see Komamura and Hisagi. He starts to speak but Komamura tells him not to, saying that his Hollow powers let him live and while he can speak, it is better not to as his throat is torn. Komamura then goes to ask Tōsen about what he said prior to them starting to fight, about knowing that they would eventually cross-blades. Komamura admits that he knew that while fighting they would eventually cross blades as well, mentioning that Hisagi certainly thought the same thing too. He states that it was as if the relationships between them were brief, fading in and out of existence or possibly small and unimportant and yet they would still cross swords. Komamura comments that Tōsen still being alive must be destiny after gaining understanding from the heart. Komamura goes on to tell Tōsen that he will not ask him to not be angry or to stop hating but simply for him to not be so consumed by his revenge that he loses himself. Komamura states that his heart would be empty, just like Tōsen's, if he lost Tōsen. Tōsen is moved to tears by Komamura's words and thanks him.
Tōsen then asks Hisagi to show him more of his face, being still partially Hollowfied, Tōsen could still see and wishes to remember Hisagi's face but suddenly Tōsen explodes in a burst of blood and flesh. As Hisagi screams for his Captain Komamura turns his gaze to Aizen and shouts out Aizen's name. As Aizen glances at Komamura, Ichigo breaks through the sky behind him, poised for an attack.

388. Eagle Without Wings 2 (EXTREME BATTLEMASTER MIX)
Ichigo and Aizen cross blades.
Summary:
As he has been instructed not to look at Aizen's Shikai, as he runs through the Garganta, Ichigo decides that he has to settle this with one strike. Ichigo says that he will kill Aizen, he will cut him down. When Ichigo exits the Garganta, he arrives behind Aizen. Ichigo takes the opportunity to strike at the back of Aizen's neck. This causes a reaction that shocks Shinji and Komamura. Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshō hit a shield. As the explosion of power clears, Aizen greets Ichigo. The shocked Ichigo jumps away from Aizen as he wonders how Aizen blocked the first attack. Aizen tells him that while it was a good slash, the spot he picked was not good. Saying that behind the neck is the biggest blind spot for all living creatures and as such it was ludicrous to think that Aizen would enter battle without putting some sort of defence on that spot. Ichigo thinks that he was careless and that because he was afraid to lose himself, he did not use Hollowfication and he should have used it for that attack. Aizen guesses Ichigo's thoughts and mocks him for them. Telling him to come at him Hollowfied and that he will show Ichigo how conceited those thoughts are.
Ichigo uses Hollowfication and releases another Getsuga Tenshō but Aizen evades it and appears behind Ichigo. Ichigo increases his distance from Aizen again, causing Aizen to wonder why Ichigo is keeping his distance. Aizen tells him that distance only has meaning in a battle between equals but that between him and Ichigo, distance is meaningless and that he can always touch Ichigo's heart. As he says this, he appears right in front of Ichigo and lays his fingers on his chest. Ichigo attempts to attack again but Aizen evades. Aizen then asks why Ichigo is fighting him, whether Ichigo hates him. Aizen tells Ichigo that by looking at his face, Aizen can tell that Orihime Inoue is safe and that none of Ichigo's other friends have died. As such it is impossible for Ichigo to hate Aizen and therefore, Ichigo is just brandishing his sword out of a sense of responsibility. However, Aizen tells him that that is not enough and that a fighting spirit without hatred is an eagle without wings. Aizen goes on to tell Ichigo that powerless comrades cannot be anything but weights that break your legs.
Ichigo begins to waiver but then feels Komamura's hands on his wrist. Komamura tells Ichigo not to be taken in and that provoking opponents is Aizen's forte. He goes onto say that if they lose themselves, they lose their lives as well. He tells Ichigo to be at ease and that they understood immediately why the captains who had gone to Hueco Mundo sent Ichigo to Fake Karakura Town and they will not let him see Aizen's Shikai. That they will fight and protect Ichigo, thus the Gotei 13 captains and the Visored present an united front against Aizen, standing between him and Ichigo.

389. Winged Eagles 2
The Gotei 13 and the Visored launch a combined attack on Aizen.
Summary:
As Ichigo watches them, Komamura thanks Ichigo for arriving when he did. Saying that if Ichigo had not come when he had, Komamura would have charged Aizen out of anger, referring back to how Tōsen suddenly exploded. He then charges forth. Shinji wonders why Ichigo didn't bring Orihime, saying that if Orihime had been here she could have healed them all and then they could have fought Aizen at full strength. Shinji, however, goes on to say that he is not too angry with Ichigo as he did come back with Unohana. Saying that in a battle she is probably the better choice. As he says this, Unohana is seen approaching Hachi and the bifurcated Hiyori. Shinji then calls on Love, Rose and Lisa, as they charge Aizen together. As Ichigo stands around in a daze, Suì-Fēng wonders how long he is planning to do that. She tells him that an opening on Aizen will not last long, and Ichigo will lose his opportunity if he is not careful. Suì-Fēng tells him that this is a fight of survival and they are fighting to keep themselves alive, keep Ichigo alive and to keep all others from harm at Aizen's hand. She warns him not to fall behind as she charges, flustering Ōmaeda who rushes to catch-up with Suì-Fēng. Ichigo then recalls the words of Byakuya, remembering what he said about no one in the Gotei 13 needing the assistance of Ichigo. Remembering this Ichigo acknowledges that he does not have to worry about the Captains and the Visored, stating that he believes in them and all he has to do is borrow everybody's strength and look closely at the whereabouts of this battle.
As Hitsugaya fights, he tells Aizen that his words regarding a sword without hatred being an eagle without wings is misses the point that placing only responsibility on the blade and swinging it down is what a captain is supposed to do. Swinging swords down in hatred is unclean violence and the captains do not call that fighting. Hitsugaya then tells Aizen that it is clear that he doesn't have what it takes to be a captain. A smiling Aizen taunts Hitsugaya, reminding him that he has the most hatred for Aizen in the entirety of the Gotei 13. Aizen wonders if Hitsugaya can truly says all of his hatred for Aizen when Hinamori has already recovered enough to join the battle.
Kyōraku taken advantage of the opportunity and swings at Aizen but Aizen evades and accuses Kyōraku of being uncouth for attacking in the middle of a conversation. Kyōraku apologized and says that he has never been good at listening when the speaker is a man, saying that just listening is too boring. Hitsugaya then releases his Bankai, angrily telling Aizen that he was right. Hitsugaya had not come to fight but had come to destroy Aizen with violence. Kyōraku warns Hitsugaya not to get carried away.

390. BEYOND THE DEATH UNDERSTANDING
Gin explains why Aizen is so terrifying as Aizen cuts down Komamura and Rose.
Summary:
Hitsugaya asks if Aizen is implying that because Hitsugaya is now swinging his sword out of hate, he is no longer fit to be a captain. Aizen does not reply but Hitsugaya states that he doesn't care if he loses his captains position, as long as he can kill Aizen. Kyōraku watches on as Hitsugaya charges Aizen, telling him that he won't show him mercy, nor give him the opportunity to use Kyōka Suigetsu.
Standing on a near-by rooftop, Ichimaru repeats Hitsugaya's words about not giving Aizen the opportunity to use Kyōka Suigetsu, saying that every single one of them have gravely mistaken about Aizen's power. As Hitsugaya attacks, Ichigo watches intently, watching for the split second opening on Aizen. Hitsugaya uses Hyoryusenbi but Aizen dodges. He then uses Hyoryusenbi Zekku just as Aizen raises his sword to counter the attack, Komamura and Love unleash their shikai together and attempt to crush Aizen between Tenken's sword and Tengumaru's club. As the two weapons slam together, Komamura begs Hitsugaya's forgiveness but says that he is going to join the fray. Hitsugaya tells Komamura to do as he wishes, saying he had never intended to keep it strictly one-on-one. Suddenly Tenken's sword is destroyed as Aizen emerges unscathed. Aizen wonders if they believed strength alone would defeat him, going on to comment that they were being too optimistic or that perhaps their natural understanding of strength was different from his own. Aizen then tells Komamura that he will show him true strength.
As Aizen appears above him, Komamura releases his Bankai: Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō, but Aizen destroys the giants swords and slices-off the giants and Komamura's off-hand. Komamura howls in rage and strikes at Aizen with his broken sword. However, Aizen easily parries and cuts him down. As Komamura falls, Love and Rose appear behind him, both already in Shikai. Rose swings his whip but Aizen catches it with his bare-hands. As Gin continues to narrate, Aizen pulls Rose to him using the whip and slashes him. Gin explains that you shouldn't be afraid of Aizen because he can use Kyōka Suigetsu, which while a fearsome ability, there are plenty of people who would rather die then obey it. However, the reason why Aizen was able to keep a group like the Espada together was because he is strong. Because all of his power are far removed from those of anyone else, Gin explains that saying being on guard against Kyōka Suigetsu is not enough, that even saying beware of all the rest is still not enough. Gin says that even if they pool all their knowledge together to be on guard against calamities like the sky falling or the earth cracking, Aizen's powers are still beyond such things.

Summary:
Aizen asks Suì-Fēng if she is feeling alright, given that she is attacking him head on. He then repeat the commandment taught at the Shinō Academy. Suì-Fēng is amused that Aizen, a traitor, would dare to speak of Shinigami commandment to her. Aizen tells her that he was once a teacher who taught those commandments. Suì-Fēng comments in disbelief that Central 46 thought the likes of Aizen was worthy to teach others, commenting that it was no wonder that the traitors could get the better of Central 46. Aizen tells her not to speak ill of the dead and points out that he had the better of the Gotei 13 as well. Suì-Fēng wonders if Aizen truly believes he can get the better of her before executing a move that makes clones of herself. Aizen complements her on putting up a nice show, Suì-Fēng thanks him for the complement before moving forward to attack him. Aizen goes to counter attack but his movements are restrained as a pillar of ice forms around him. Suì-Fēng manages to execute her Shikai ability: Nigeki Kessatsu. However, Aizen is unaffected. Pointing out that a battle between two Shinigami is a battle of reiatsu and his is great enough to suppress her ability. He then moves to strike her down but before he can, his is stabbed through the back by Kyōraku. Kyōraku tells Aizen that he was careless and he was casting a shadow on the ice. Aizen curses Kyōraku as Hitsugaya tells Aizen that its over. Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku jump away as Hitsugaya charges Aizen, who mobility is restrained by the ice.
Aizen reflects on Hitsugaya's youth. Thinking that he sees and opportunity and attacks without a plan, commenting that, that is Hitsugaya's greatest failing. However, Aizen notices Shinji grinning off to the side while holding Sakanade in Shikai. Aizen realizes too late that everything is backwards. Hitsugaya stabs Aizen through the back.

Yamamoto kills Wonderweiss but at a great cost, forcing Ichigo to enter the fray.
Summary:
Aizen calmly goes on about how Yamamoto surely knows the amount of devastation the flames will wreck were they to explode out at once, as Yamamoto makes a move. Wonderweiss explodes. When the dust clears, it is revealed that Yamamoto had thrown himself on Wonderweiss's corpse and absorbed much of the explosion. Aizen thanks Yamamoto for saving his world as that force of that explosion would have destroyed the barrier around Fake Karakura and would have damaged an area far greater. Aizen says that Yamamoto is worthy of his title and that he will not do him the injustice of refusing to take his life. Aizen states that Yamamoto is the very embodiment of the history of Soul Society and that he alone will die there by Aizen's blade. However, Yamamoto effortlessly grabs Aizen's feet and tells him not to make him repeat himself. He calls Aizen a fool once more as he casts Hadō 96 against him. A blade of flame rises from the ground and engulfs Aizen but a injured Aizen manages to emerges from the flames. Only for a Hollowfied Ichigo to pounce on him.
