    As the architect of much of Bleach's plot, Aizen is responsible for some of the best moments in the series. In this Aizen fan's humble opinion however, one scene stands above the rest (atop the heavens, even) as the absolute pinnacle of Aizen moments in the manga. Let's take a look at what I believe to be Aizen's greatest moment, ever. Enjoy!

    In my opinion, this is the single greatest Aizen scene in the series and fully embodies him as a character - but what do you think? Is there a better Aizen moment? Maybe he's just overrated as a character in general? Let me know!

      Concerning Aizen's "morality", I think he is a true Ubermensch, someone who considers both conventional good and evil, conventional morality, equally beneath him in his pursuit of his own, grand goals. Tosen even says something similar in CFYOW (that Aizen sees good and evil both meaningless compared to justice), and Aizen's speech about "how the world should be" to Urahara further cements this.
      Things like this indeed make Aizen so incredibly fascinating to me as well.

    I love how Kyoraku, in the War arc, was kinda feeling himself and thinking that, while he was down in Muken, he could be chill and negotiate with Aizen with his usual relaxed, playful demeanor, but as soon as he unlocks the eye and mouth seals and Aizen unlocks a whole bunch more by himself, Kyoraku just starts PANICKING and begins pulling off ultimatums by using his own body as a fail-safe with the embedded key. It's probably the most scared he felt in the arc aside of when he felt Yamamoto died.

    I definitely think the "When where you under the impression, that I WASN'T using my Kyoka Suigetsu" moment, is one of the best, if not THE best Aizen moment.
    It certainly is the the scene that I feel solidifies his place as a truly iconic villain. How cold, cruel, and shocking it is, while also having that ‘so evil, it is great’ energy to it...it is similar to what he did during his betrayal during the Soul Society arc. But, I think it is even more effective here, just because there is that extra level of sadistic humor to it, followed by the sheer badass feat, of taking out nearly everyone right after.
    I would honestly really like it if you did a series of these, where you talk about what you think are the best moments of the Bleach villains. I have a feeling you would have a lot of fun with that!

  • @krimome8933
    @krimome8933 2 роки тому +41

    I have a theory about Aizen's 100 year plan. I think when he learned about the soul king he also learned about Ywach and the Quincy war and their eventual return so he deviced a plan to not only make himself the ultimate being but also ensuring that if he fails, others may help in defeating Ywach. I see that in the fact that he rarely kills anyone and instead pushes those with potential to become even stronger be it shinigami or hollow and in the end, Arrancar and shinigami unite against the Quincy and it is him with his best experiment subject Ichigo who defeat Ywach.

I specially love his classic evil, shadowy smile after cutting everyone down, I think it shows that, while monologuing about gods, changing the world, and intellect, deep down Aizen is another of the Arrancar, an animal who seeks to fight, kill, and prove he’s stronger. Definitely ties back into his poem in Volume 48 as well

    My Aizen theory is that he doesn’t have a Bankai and used his Shikai to trick the Gotei into thinking he had one and was captain material. His inability to attain Bankai partly fuels his desire for power and controlling everything. But this isn’t due to lack of strength or mastery, but that his Zanpakuto’s spirit is just as trolly and sadistic as he is and won’t teach him it’s name.

    I remember reading this chapter and being angry at the captains like “you guys are going all in on a guy who can freely manipulate you senses, you’re gonna get wiped somehow.” I didn’t see the Momo switch coming so that was a pleasant surprise but she should’ve died. At the end of his war the only lasting effect he had was The head captain losing an arm. And on top of that Toshiro put everything he had into that strike he had to because he was trying to kill Aizen, the man who one-shotted him back in the soul society so there’s no way he would hold back. And you’re telling Momo, who got wrecked by the chimera guy like 10 minutes earlier in the story could tank a stab to the heart? She should have died and Toshiro should of had to live with killing her, and possibly been a great spring board to make him a much more interesting character.

      @corruptangel6793 2 роки тому +1

      @@calebcollins5887 problem with a stab by a Zanpakuto from a Soup Reaper, or anyone really, Is that they pump their spiritual pressure into you through the wound. So Bankai Toshiro should have been pumping as much of his icy reiatsu into that stab as possible. Hinamori should have had her organs pulverized and her spritual energy thoroughly crushed.
      The only reason her surviving Aizen's stab is acceptable is that he was holding back to his absolute limit, trying to kill without utterly trashing them. Like he tells Renji: "It's hard to step on ants without crushing them." So we can infer he simply misjudged the amount of reiatsu needed to kill Hinamori. Toshiro has no such excuse.

  • @aaronvt9980
    @aaronvt9980 2 роки тому +2

    My read on Aizen's motivation is right out of Neitzche. He saw that "God" was just a corpse and proceeded to the next logical steps. If there is no God then morality is just chains forced on the truly exceptional. Good and evil don't even enter into the discussion. Soul Society's history even echoes the most famous line from Neitzche: "God is dead, and we have killed Him." Becoming God yourself is the conclusion of the paragraph that line comes from.

    • @ShayPatrickCormacTHEHUNTER
      @ShayPatrickCormacTHEHUNTER 2 роки тому

      It's a line of lament though. And besides, Nietzsche's answer boils down to, be good little boys so the non religious messiah comes to save the planet from the crowds.
      That is because, avoiding primitivism(morals are genetic because social animals need them therefore we should follow them) and being subjective(morals feel right because one was raised with them and therefore they are true) , there really is no good answer to a world without God. Ultimately leading to a new godless religion. Not hoping for a Jewish guy to save the world but for a godless ubermench that accepts life as it is.

    I think the best explanation for how he swapped with Hinamori would be a Kido of some kind that involves teleportation. It would explain why 'Momo' stood up after 'Aizen' was stabbed, because it was Aizen having swapped with her. As for how he did it without the others knowing, his Hypnosis would work. As for why it was Hinamori that got swapped in, I think it's because she was his Vice-Captain. He could have implanted the Kido into her without anyone knowing at any time when in Soul Society, or even during the Battle of Karakura Town, since he spent a fair amount of time not in battle. It could even be a contingency measure, just like the kido shield he placed in his blind spot that blocked Ichigo's surprise attack.

      I think it was when Aizen was mocking Toshiro for rushing in headfirst. I could definitely see Aizen's troll mind thinking "oh this is too good a chance to pass up." So, just as Toshiro starts his rush, Aizen flashes over to Momo, grabs and literally throws her to where he'd been a second before, just in time for Toshiro to run her through.
      That's also why it take's Ichigo a second to react. He was just in a complete state of utter shock and took a moment to process wtf just happened.
