Talk:Sōsuke Aizen

message: There are differences in Aizen's fight with Hitsugaya between the anime and the manga. In the manga he can't be seen (and thus said) to have used hypnosis but in the anime he can. I was just wondering if the article could reflect this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Casmith81 (talk • contribs) .

thread_title:  Uses hypnosis in combat 

message: I know Aizen is powerful, but in addition to the fact he uses his illusionary abilities in the battle agains the various captains shoudn't it also be noted that both Ichigo and Renji were both severely weakened from previous battles which may have been why he caught Ichigo's bankai.  Or is that considereid to minor to mention?
:It's not that it was a minor factor, it's that it's immensely obvious. --tjstrf 04:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Use of illusions and catching Ichigo's bankai

message: Why has this been taken out?  I know it says he is stronger then a normal captain (whatever qualifies as normal), but until his is in an actual fight and doesn't use it how is that statment speculation?
:"While turning Wonderwice Margera into an arrancar, it should be noted he states that the Orb of Distortion can be fully activated if only half awakened from hibernation by temporarily fusing with someone with twice as much spirit power as a captain-level shinigami, followed by him activating it. This determines that his spirit power is at least twice as much as that of a normal captain." 
::This is referenced and likely true. Gdo01 08:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is also the recent chapter where he brought down Grimmjow just by using spiritual pressure, and Grimmjow has got to be at captain level at least. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 10:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Statement about illusions in battle

message: In chapter 176, pages 9-11, Aizen clearly uses his illusions in combat. On page 9, Komamura sees Aizen next to Tousen. On page 10, Aizen is directly in front of Komamura. Komamura glances down, sees Aizen, thinks "impossible". On page 11, Komamura looks back up, and sees Aizen's illusionary copy which is melting away into the air. For those who wish to claim artistic error, Aizen confirms the deliberate intent of the drawn representation on page 13 of the same chapter, where he talks about how awesome the hypnotic skill is.
End of debate regarding Aizen's power use in combat, do not add any more speculation. --tjstrf talk 08:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aizen uses Kyōka Suigetsu in combat, in the manga. 

message: I thought they were like Ichigo and repressed their inner hollows to become arrancar.
While it is logical to assume that they will become vizard to increase their powers at this point there has been no indication that they are vizards yet. Jargon 00:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aizen, Gin, Kaname 

message: Does anyone think that describing Aizen as an antagonist is a spoiler? When he is first introduced, he is portrayed as Hinamori's hero not the enemy. 209.195.93.63 00:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a definite spoiler, but I don't think we should compromise the integrity of our articles out of fear of spoilers. Anyone who doesn't want spoilers can refer to the main Bleach (manga) page or Characters in Bleach. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 16:52, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But people don't know that. The second someone who's watching the English dub (like me >_>), reads the unspoilered part and realizes he's the antagonist. Thank you Wikipedia for ruining the show. I am being overdramtic here, because I personally don't mind I've been spoiled, but I don't think others will be the too happy about this. I don't know how to change this, so the faster someone can change the top section the better.ArchKnight47 07:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Same can be said of a fansite. Wikipedia doesn't cater to spoiler freaks. Their fault for reading when they haven't caught up. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 07:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: On that note, I'm trying to start a discussion about what exactly in Bleach is (still) a spoiler, and would appreciate input. See WT:BLEACH#Spoiler warnings: to use or not use? --tjstrf talk 08:37, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The one you wish to be posted as his article picture doesn't illustrate much. Besides, we already have a picture of him with slicked-back hair and no glasses, so having one of him before his departure of Soul Society would be best. // DecaimientoPoético 21:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another new Aizen picture 

message: "The only way to avoid the effect is to not see Kyōka Suigetsu at the moment of its shikai release, making the blind Kaname Tōsen the only person in Soul Society completely immune to its effects."
Surely Tōsen isn't the only blind person? Shouldn't it say "The only major character" or something? --The last sheikah 22:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently, he IS the only blind person in SS. It's mentioned sommewhere, and he looks like he can see in the most recent flashback chapter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oreichalcos (talk • contribs) 20:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blindness 

message: Does Aizen really belong in the category of fictional geneticists?  I don't think his study into Hollowfication really counts as genetics.  I'd remove him from the category if I knew how.  97.120.19.92 (talk) 03:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Aizen was behind everything, literally everything that's happened in the series.  Who doesn't think that's important enough to add to the article?  142.26.194.190 (talk) 22:41, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Puppet Master 

message: Gin's flashback shows him watching Aizen holding the Hogyoku, and three shinigami kneeling before him.  Does this imply that Aizen had access to the Hogyoku prior to his defection from Soul Society?  207.216.206.244 (talk) 17:14, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Information? 

message: Wasn't to sure how to get the fair rationale thing down so if someone could help me with it that would be cool. If you don't like the picture then just take it down, it makes no difference to me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roxas255 (talk • contribs) 04:56, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted the image because it is not how Aizen appeared when he was first introduced. While the first image may be too much of a close-up, the article must have an image of his first character design. There are already plenty of images of Aizen's second character design so we don't need another. —Farix (t | c) 11:04, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I saw the name of the prison Aizen was sent to translated as "Avici", which makes sense as it is the name of the lowest level of Naraku in Buddhism. Mhat is "Muken"? 207.216.197.154 (talk) 06:38, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

message: He is not the second strongest captain. He was strong but not that strong to be called the Second Strongest Captain. He defeated the allied party of Captains and Visored because he was fused with Hogyoku which boosted his power so greatly.

thread_title:  Second Strongest Captain??? 

message: Tosen's blindness makes him immune to the hypnosis. Is that a possible reason as to why Gin's eyes are always closed? 67.172.28.84 (talk) 22:31, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the eyes closed is just a common stereotype within anime characters like Fullmetal Alchemist's Lin Yao and Pokemon's Brook who can actually see. However, considering the zanpakuto's logic, anybody with their eyes closed are immune to the illusions.Tintor2 (talk) 00:11, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
