teas and berries, magics and mysteries

Shinichi: *points gun at the thief holding onto the hand of the clocktower. Looking beautiful yet sharp as his hair flowed from the wind, smirking as he balanced himself on the helicopter.*

Kid: *stares at the beautiful detective, a slow and helpless grin spreading across his face despite the panic he felt at the gun*

What if the FGT didn't drain Ichigo's power, just knocked him out a bit? What if they thought he'd lose his power, maybe thought he HAD until he woke up because he was beyond their ability to feel, then they realized?

What if C46 got super nervous and demanded Ichigo be sealed with Aizen?

These two are cell-mates for two years. They talk, come to understandings and agreements and more, and then Yhwach struts in and neither of them are having it. At all.

Ichigo's restraints are quite a bit looser because the captains argued for leniency and have been on a mission to prove Ichigo's safe so they can release him, and Aizen can/had advised Ichigo how to loosen them further to free himself and he does and curb-stomps Yhwach while Aizen watches with mild interest, casually messing with Yhwach's sight to make Ichigo's fight easier.

The invasion halts, people come down, many thanks are given.

I would add one caveat though. Because I am a ruthless woman and I loves me some carnage as much as I fucking hate Yhwach;

Ichigo asks Aizen, as politely as he can manage, how does he destroy Yhwach in such a way he can't come back? Which involves some good ole fashioned butchery with a dash of Hollow reiatsu to work like acid. By the time people come to check on Muken, all that's left of Yhwach is a rapidly dissolving head. Even that fades into the memory of history.

See ,in the background there's a road that leads inside a forest right?

What if his inner world is a staircase to (heaven,pun intended) to a temple high in a bamboo forest and at the top there's a shrine where Kyoka suigetsu lives

I think something like that will tie everything together

His loneliness at the top, his desire to reach above and beyond,his superiority complex!

And maybe near the shrine there's a little pond or something where there's always a reflection of the moon but no moon at the sky

( in this version it's always night,but strangely enough a light source exists somehow)

I believe Kyoka suigetsu simply hasn't revealed her true self to him yet due to trust issues and that's why there's a moonless sky

Maybe a few months into his imprisonment in Muken Aizen keeps getting lost in the forest or he is climbing up the stairs but to no avail,later though he realises his mistakes takes the opportunity he has been given (unlimited space and time with no distractions) and mends his relationship with his zanpakuto and that leads to him becoming EVEN stronger in the TYBW!

The guy literally perfected his powers!!!

Anyway that's a theory an Aizen theory, thanks for reading

I would love to know what you think

Also im tagging some specific people

the illusion shatters

I think Aizen, specifically because he is very proud (it's a coping mechanism, I will explain later on...), prefers to crush his enemies without using his Bankai.

That's why he doesn't use it. He IS absolutely able to, he just doesn't want to. Why use his Bankai when Shikai and spells, which he is exceptional and a prodigy at, do the work? Yeah maybe he is a prodigy at Bankai too, but Bankai are supposed to be super powerful aren't they? Utilizing other techniques in such a way and with such skill that they get as powerful as Bankai, while not classified as such, is what sets Aizen apart. Winning against incredibly powerful foes and peers only based on Shikai and spells is a huuuuge flex. At least, that's what I think.

As for him being pure evil... He is not. Dude is right when he calls out certain things happening which demonstrate the hypocrisy of others. He is right to say that one does not necessarily have to accept the status quo and that one should have the right to oppose it.

He is also selfish, so when he elects to change things, he does so because that way people will challenge him while he finally rises at the top, unrestrained by anything or anyone... Because he has always been, or felt, alone. He is not evil, he is like any other being with a soul. We would say, "human".

Underneath I will express my full thoughts...
