@@jerosagun2933 They reveal later that the reason Ichigo is the only one who can fight Aizen is specifically because he's the only one out of everybody who hasn't fallen under Aizen's Shikai, because anybody who had ever fallen under the ability of Aizen's Shikai will perpetually be under the effects of Aizen's Shikai. Because of this, Aizen cannot be using his ability here as Ichigo is not under the effects of his Shikai throughout the entirety of the show's and the manga's runtime
We know Aizen is at minimum twice the spiritual energy of an entry level captian here. We also know Ichigo is exhausted after his fight with Byakyua.

If I had to guess at full strength Ichigo at this point is maybe around the spiritual energy of an entry level captian.

I've been scratching my head for days, not one other anime comes to mind that I've seen where the protag's theme song gets silenced under *any* circumstance.
Ichigo remembered this moment all the way until the series finale. He never forgot, and he never forgave. He took it personally. And on that one fateful day, he decided, "You know what Aizen, Imma yeet you across the map by your face and take back my themesong!" And he actually did it. The absolute mad lad!
not for nothing but then he also used everything including Final Getsuga giving up all his Shinigami powers and still couldn't kill Aizen, Urahara had to step in and seal him
@@vicc6790 He wasn't trying to kill him. At that point, the hogyoku was regenerating him faster than he could be damaged. Kisuke only needed to weaken him so he could use his Kido seal. Aizen got absolutely slapped and even acknowledged it as the hogyoku was rejecting him.
@@tvnawmayn9320 he wasn't ready for the entire anime lmao Dude VERY rarely defeated a recently found enemy. Usually he just loses the first (and maybe a second) time, and then gets a random ass power when he almost dies.

It shows how insanely strong aizen is, Ichigo was a match for not one, but TWO of the strongest captains... and then gets effortlessly destroyed by a finger. 😮
@@charlesdale4026 Ichigo wins because of the plot🤣🤣🤣 Zaraki and Byakuya are clearly stronger than him right now (with what they showed in the Arrancar arc)
@@HETANIME It's canon that White lent Ichigo some of his power for those fights as he didn't want Ichigo to die, very obvious with Byakuya and in the Zaraki fight you can see a hollow figure appear in Ichigo's aura for a moment.
In the manga this scene is so brutal, since you see how bad Ichigo's wounds were from this single cut (Ichigo was quite literally almost cut in half, so brutal).
The most funniest part about this 1 single moment. Is that Aizen erased the theme song too the point where it only returned when Aizen was finally defeated and the theme song returned.
And when he comes back to defeat Aizen it's a sick cover that reflects the hardship he's gone through, the grimness he's assumed up to that point that is a kind of maturity (and in line with his final attack being utter darkness); the song isn't over the top like the original anymore, now it means business.
This was the moment we got a real taste of just how powerful _Josh Groban_ was, and that's after we saw just how ridiculously strong Kenpachi and Byakuya were.
'Number One' was so integral to the shows storytelling. The fact it became more warped and darker over time until it was just pure guitar really sold the kind of changes Ichigo's mentality was going through.
Because Ichigo needed to stop thinking he was Number One in order to grow his power. Only when his power matched his level of confidence he was able to bring the song back in full-swing. Truly amazing observation my friend!!
That's when you realize how much of a beast Shiro Sagisu is and how much he cares about the OST he makes (and it shows, the end result is just so excellent)
It had a great OST. Number one was always hype when it played and I loved the emotion "Soundscape to Ardor" has. They seemed to use it in almost every sad scene or one of building determination.
Ichigo: You hear that? That's my mixtape playin! That means I automatically win! Renji: You sure? Ichigo: Yeah it's like part of the anime rules! WE GOT THIS! LET'S GOOOOOO! Aizen: *hit's stop* Your iTunes account has encountered an error.
Neither of them had plot armor. Ichigo was always much more powerful then he let on because his spirit would hold him back until he needed more power. Aizen didn't have plot armor. He trained to be as strong as he was and became unstoppable through planning. Neither of them were accidents, unlike someone like Naruto and Sasuke who were just lucky a lot of the time.
I love the story telling from this scene. Ichigo from all boosts he got in this arc became a overconfident cocky teenager with his power, that was on the top of the world. Then he was shoved down back to the ground in this scene. Through Bleach Ichigo was always being reminded that alone he isn't all that. By the Fullbringer arc he finally maturated. The song lyrics themselves kinda shows some aspects of this trait of him too.
I think most people know this video but i think only some noticed that when ichigo was in dangai and stopped aizen sword, Aizen theme also stopped. Now that's revenge. Edit:my first ever 1k likes les goo
@Zazen if what your saying is true then it would've already happened. He was relaxed but not naive. It would be funny if he tried holding it with his finger and aizen chops it lol. Ichigo is a main protected by heavenly plot armor.
This scene makes the Mugetsu even better, cuz after Aizen move hell and earth to merge himself with a perfect hogyoku and feel like a god, Ichigo comes back so ridiculously stronger that no only he stops Aizen tecnique with his bare hands, but is so superior to Aizen than he can't even feel his power, Ichigo waited for that moment for a long time.
Whoooaa, the sub sounds amazing!! I was told to watch the dub, which I've loved since high school, but never quite fully got into Bleach. Maybe this could be the difference maker for me. Also, I love it when the villain stops the heroes theme. I can't remember what likely recent anime(s) I...oh right, Dio did this to Jotaro, iirc. I think there was at least another, much more recent (Dio vs Jotaro was almost 10 years ago?!) anime(s) that have done this. I'd love to see a compilation on them.
In the manga, it's actually way more brutal. In the manga, he literally cuts Ichigo almost completely in half, and the only thing holding his two halves together was his backbone.
The best part about Aizen is his backstory is almost nonexistent so we don't know what drove him to anything he does. Makes him even more badass to have a dude who come in from nothing and just rock's everything till the end.
@@ombiance6542 I wasn't referring to those two seasons, it came later.

I think it was the bount arc. My memory is hazy on it though.
And then Ichigo does the same basically when he goes up against him again after training in the dangai. Ichigo couldn't let it slide that easily and needed his payback.
Just like when he went full on Vasto Lorde on Ulquiorra and grabbed his face and threw him into the pillars above the canopy of Hueco Mundo in the exact same way that Ulquiorra did to him before killing him. He just HAS to get his revenge.
@@nathanieljohnson5430 He prolly took a nap, woke up after a long time and thought he messed up, only to see Ichigo barely made it a few feet across and then he just took another nap cuz he got so tired after that first nap.
@@nelsonoke3131 it is Because's bleach had less episodes and Shippuden had 500 but Shippuden had some really well animated episodes like madara vs alliance, kakashi vs obito and sakura vs sasori but the series' animation was mostly average and very janky where in bleach you had much more character acting animation and more action in short bleach had more consistent animation the whole series
Before I read the manga i always thought Aizen Reiatsu was so powerful Ichigo was hurt by the sheer difference between the of them. It's only later I realized Aizen actually cut him with his sword, but the anime sort of censor it by going extremely fast above the sword in the picture.
I don't think they meant to censor it, you can do more when you have actual movement on screen, and I think they wanted it to be so fast, that not even the viewer can see what happened.
@@danguy6591 well, he had some hopes in him. Even if it wasn't his plan at first. He wanted to see how Ichigo as a Shinigami Quincy Hollow Hybrid grows
@@paulv7744 Yep, he has a nearly unmatched level of reiatsu at this point and the single most broken zanpakuto in the entire series. In a universe where you cannot harm someone that has a significantly greater reiatsu than you, he is in fact literally built differently.
When I first watched this scene I thought Ichigo was going to beat Aizen just like he did with everyone else he fought in the Soul Society arc. I had no idea how severely vast the power difference was between them at the time.
To be fair, Ichigo is the only Soul Reaper/Quincy/Fullbringer/Vizard in the story.. so his limits are almost boundless.. just proper training took him a long way. His come up is even higher in the tybw
@@JesusChrist2000BC i think he actually got buffed right before that ironically. Power scaling in bleach is worse than dbz tbh. Like if dbz were that fast saiyan saga goku would beat frieza in terms of pacing. It’s still hype though so I don’t care
I could be wrong but i think he's the only anime villain to ever stop the protagonist and their theme song, mid song lol This feat alone makes him the greatest anime villain of all time. Aizen shut down that music real quick lol
Regardless of what anyone would say, Aizen is one of the best antagonists in anime Even though he doesn't have an emotional backstory like many other antagonists or that he doesn't really have a good cause for his actions, he's really cool The way he revealed his plans and that he's not only intelligent but also strong (Im gonna ignore the fact that he became too power-hungry towards the end and led to him getting locked up)
i just watched this for the first time a week ago. when the music kicked in i was like, yes another battle against a captain. then i saw the rest and i was just holding my head
That was such a great use of the music to set the tone of how overpowered Aizen was compared to the rest of the cast. Most of the early Bleach series is a haze in my memory, but this etched itself deep due to just such a simple yet effective trick.
@@johnthegamerman404 little kid kenpachi was smoking unohana who was known to be a monster AND was in the original gotei 13 squad, so basically kenpachi just restrained himself THE ENTIRETY of the anime until tybw, meaning no restrain kenpachi smokes every captain at the time (no difficulty)
Anybody ever noticed we NEVER hear Ichigo's Theme Music play as a complete song after this? It kind of shows up in Hueco Mundo, but it's missing the vocals - HALF THE SONG IS MISSING. Aizen didn't just cut Ichigo in half - he cut his theme song in half too. Dude was way too fucking OP.
“Do you wanna see some action?”
Aizen: No

This is true definition of "when you fight the final boss way too early in the game"

One punch man can defeat him
@@Peterson555 💀
@@Peterson555can’t even see him and if he could that would be worse for Saitama
Sound director better have been paid a gajillion dollars
A morbillion dollars
@@MrNoot39449 the best part of fake karakura town arc was when aizen said "IT'S BLEACHIN' TIME" and bleached all over those guys
An Aizillion dollars
Literally love they did this, was delighted by how deliberate it was 😂
Ichigo was feeling himself until Aizen gave him the biggest wake up call of his life.
aizen was so strong, he stopped the main character theme song
Jojo protagonist will be shaking...
Ichigo gets his revenge in their final battle, catching Aizen's blade and stopping his theme song, Treachery
XD
Bitch I erased it
Yes I saw the video
And then Ichigo does the same basically when he goes up against him again after training in the dangai. Ichigo couldn't let it slide that easily and needed his payback.
He used his hands not finger to be noted
I didnt found that fight any interesting though
@@frikanetwork also to be noted aizen and ichigo is 1000x stronger than they were before
@@frikanetwork it was a vastly more powerful attack and a few fingers, if we're noting stuff
Just like when he went full on Vasto Lorde on Ulquiorra and grabbed his face and threw him into the pillars above the canopy of Hueco Mundo in the exact same way that Ulquiorra did to him before killing him. He just HAS to get his revenge.
One of the prime examples of the anime leveraging the advantages that moving pictures has over manga and visual novels.
there will never be another villain like aizen
Yhwach
@@ASSASSIN19923 He's just powerful
The moment Ichigo realized he was the side character.
*Ichigo's theme plays*
Aizen: stop this shit man...🚬🗿
This is how all ads should end, before they even begin of course.
_🎶 FEEL LIKE NO🎶. AIZEN☝️_
Aizen patiently waiting and smiling while looking at them coming is just funny😂
Considering just how slow he must've been moving to Aizen makes it even funnier.
@@nathanieljohnson5430 He prolly took a nap, woke up after a long time and thought he messed up, only to see Ichigo barely made it a few feet across and then he just took another nap cuz he got so tired after that first nap.
The moment we all realised how terrifying Aizen actually was
Now that i finished the entirety of bleach in one month i feel nostalgic 😢
Several episodes later, at the end of the arrancar downfall arc, Ichigo did the same thing back to Aizen, stopped Aizen's theme in the exact same way
wow this just makes me realize how the animation improved drastically 😭😭 but gives sucha nostalgic feeling
Well still the whole series was animated very well much better than shippuden
@JustArtsMan just not true is it
@@nelsonoke3131 it is Because's bleach had less episodes and Shippuden had 500 but Shippuden had some really well animated episodes like madara vs alliance, kakashi vs obito and sakura vs sasori but the series' animation was mostly average and very janky where in bleach you had much more character acting animation and more action in short bleach had more consistent animation the whole series
@zeniatharoun7005it's called watercolor, and it's beautiful
I pray to God you aren't actually suggesting blood war's lazy, ugly, partial cgi is better than this
Before I read the manga i always thought Aizen Reiatsu was so powerful Ichigo was hurt by the sheer difference between the of them. It's only later I realized Aizen actually cut him with his sword, but the anime sort of censor it by going extremely fast above the sword in the picture.
Me too, the anime doesn't clearly show what happened. :D
I always thought the same until I just read your comment right now lol.
Appreciate it!
... doesnt aizen literally say in the anime that he tries to hurt ichigo?
I don't think they meant to censor it, you can do more when you have actual movement on screen, and I think they wanted it to be so fast, that not even the viewer can see what happened.
There are 3 frames between 1:19 and 1:20 that illustrate Aizen with his sword in hand after hitting Ichigo's chest
Never attack a guy standing perfectly still with a smile on his face the whole time when using your best ability, you know he’s out of your league
I don't feel much watching this now. But the first time I saw it it blew my mind.
It made the final battle between them that much more satisfying
Did anyone notice that he could've broken his Bankai in his ragged state but didn't. Cause it was all a part of his plan.
No activating his shikai just to lose to ichigo later was also a part of his plan, no less
@@danguy6591 well, he had some hopes in him. Even if it wasn't his plan at first. He wanted to see how Ichigo as a Shinigami Quincy Hollow Hybrid grows
Not everything was apart of his plan 😂😂😂😂
@@jasonmoukala8909 Aizen actually watched Ichigo's performance from the very beginning
@@notyourdaddude1957 ichigo being born wasn’t apart of his plan.
Bro Aizen is literally built different 😂
literally?
@@paulv7744 Yep, he has a nearly unmatched level of reiatsu at this point and the single most broken zanpakuto in the entire series. In a universe where you cannot harm someone that has a significantly greater reiatsu than you, he is in fact literally built differently.
can his zanpakuto match against the sharingan? the visual powers always confused me
The only thing scarier than that would be if we saw a whole cut across the screen showcasing that Aizen killed the cameraman
why did I laugh at this
When I first watched this scene I thought Ichigo was going to beat Aizen just like he did with everyone else he fought in the Soul Society arc. I had no idea how severely vast the power difference was between them at the time.
"Boop, got you're spine"
- Aizen, Bleach Abridged
Its crazy to see the power creep Ichigo had to go through to reach Aizen's level at the end.
To be fair, Ichigo is the only Soul Reaper/Quincy/Fullbringer/Vizard in the story.. so his limits are almost boundless.. just proper training took him a long way. His come up is even higher in the tybw
Didn't they literally resort to a hyperbolic time chamber training arc for it?
@@shadowproductions969honestly after hollow form bonkai the transformations got kinda ridiculous.
Basically had to nerf Aizen to make it happen. No way Ichigo gets to this level as fast as he did otherwise.
@@JesusChrist2000BC i think he actually got buffed right before that ironically. Power scaling in bleach is worse than dbz tbh. Like if dbz were that fast saiyan saga goku would beat frieza in terms of pacing. It’s still hype though so I don’t care
He is that one optional boss that for some reason is stonger than the finall boss.
Man I swear I learned that I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover the hard way after seeing this guy 😔
This scene was so cool. The fact that the music started playing really made the viewer think wizen would go down easily
Aizen's kyoka suigetsu broke the fourth wall
I could be wrong but i think he's the only anime villain to ever stop the protagonist and their theme song, mid song lol This feat alone makes him the greatest anime villain of all time. Aizen shut down that music real quick lol
this will never die lol just shows how of a menace aizen truely is
"" Oh...you're approaching me?"
Regardless of what anyone would say, Aizen is one of the best antagonists in anime
Even though he doesn't have an emotional backstory like many other antagonists or that he doesn't really have a good cause for his actions, he's really cool
The way he revealed his plans and that he's not only intelligent but also strong
(Im gonna ignore the fact that he became too power-hungry towards the end and led to him getting locked up)
TYBW Aizen goes hard asl
yet he still has influence in the recently new arc (bleach) episodes. Aka, Aizen is a fucking badass
Him getting sealed and beaten up by yhwach was apart of his plan
He will be the final villain with hid bankai and become soul king
His backstory is also planned by himself
I think his reasons are pretty good, especially when you actually know more about the soul king.
i just watched this for the first time a week ago. when the music kicked in i was like, yes another battle against a captain. then i saw the rest and i was just holding my head
They don't make villains this chad anymore.
This was 10 years ago and still has better animation than all of Boruto
Sadly true
Dafuq? That’s just not true, and I’m not even a Boruto fan
Ha, way too true! 😂
We are getting closer to 20 years than 10.
@Avengerul Sasuke ok, no need to remind us we're all getting older.
In Ichigos first Attack on Aizen, Aizen stopped ichigos Music.
In Ichigos last Attack on Aizen, Ichigo stopped the worlds Music.
I love how Ichigo & Renji became best friends, even though previously they fought fiercely
And Ichigo never forgot this moment. He makes sure to pay Aizen back in their final fight.
Honestly speaking, this is still the coldest thing to happen in anime history, and I don't think anything will top it.
From that moment Number One was not heard again until the TYBW trailer 😂 🤣
The moment he stopped it with his finger was the moment I realized that this show truly was one of the big 3
I recently started watching Bleach to fully get into it. The instant that happened I knew this man wasnt playing games.
That was such a great use of the music to set the tone of how overpowered Aizen was compared to the rest of the cast.
Most of the early Bleach series is a haze in my memory, but this etched itself deep due to just such a simple yet effective trick.
so basically byakuya < ichigo < aizen 1 finger
at the time, Average Captain
@@johnthegamerman404 little kid kenpachi was smoking unohana who was known to be a monster AND was in the original gotei 13 squad, so basically kenpachi just restrained himself THE ENTIRETY of the anime until tybw, meaning no restrain kenpachi smokes every captain at the time (no difficulty)
@@WxnBumaizen, yama, and old toshiro (the hell arc) would smoke that kenpachi
@@sul_9999 aizen was no longer a captain and Yamamoto is the HEAD captain, also no toshiro at the current time is weak
Ultimate flex: 1 finger

Anybody ever noticed we NEVER hear Ichigo's Theme Music play as a complete song after this? It kind of shows up in Hueco Mundo, but it's missing the vocals - HALF THE SONG IS MISSING.
Aizen didn't just cut Ichigo in half - he cut his theme song in half too. Dude was way too fucking OP.
