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!

He stopped a Main Character’s theme music. To my knowledge, nobody else has ever performed such a feat.

When Aizen comes to your house , you are the guest. Barragan : I can confirm that.

The best Aizen scene was when he showed off his Bankai at the end of the soul society arc: The ability to magically produce hair gel out of his hands.

How Momo made it through all of BLEACH without dying is wild to me. Especially how often she's used as a prop to make Hitsugaya suffer.

The logistics behind this are on par with Dio moving Polnareff on the staircase. It's some sadistic humor from these villains, and it works

I like the idea that Ichigo was shouting at the captains the entire time, and Aizen was using Kyoka Suigetsu to keep them from hearing him.

His greatest scene is yet to be animated.. it’s the “Welcome to my Soul Society” scene

"So you think your gazing at Ichigo Kurosaki.Facinating..." Honestly my favorite moment due to the fact he basically outdid someone with the ability to see the future.

The “when did you think I wasn’t using Kyoka Suigetsu?” line that’s been memed to death, is definitely the most memorable moment to come out of Aizen roflstomping the Captains and Vizords.

If anime and manga were as mainstream as Hollywood movies, Aizen would definitely be considered one of the greatest villains in fiction

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.

You know I liked the interpretation that Momo literally didn't know what was going on at all, saw all the captains attacking her, and kept dodging them until the very end with Ichigo wondering not only why Momo was getting attacked but also HOW she was dodging so well.

"This video was all a part of my plan, using my kyokasuigetsu i changed your vision and made you think I was really cool to where you would love me, and make videos on me" - Aizen probably

Aizen always had the drip

My favorite aizen moment is when he destroys the soul kings overflowing reiatsu with his own in the tybw. Just showed he's still the boss of the Manga

I love the end of the Aizen V Yhwach fight because it seemed, to me anyways, like Aizen was just being really smug that he managed to trick someone who can literally see the future. It's really petty but is also a giant flex.

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!

Lol Aizen literally stole the show in both the manga/anime whenever he was on the page/screen.

Aizen's most important scene: getting kubo to bring back the bleach anime 🔥🔥🔥🔥

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.

Aizens bankai is really just a hair based technique. Thats how its always perfect

"How long have you been deluding yourself into believing I was NOT using Kyoga Suigetsu?" Troll master A.S

in aizens defense she always wanted to be useful to him...

I'm a simple woman...I see Aizen, I click video ☺☺.

When you've explained how Aizen moved Hinamori and just moved there and back... you thought it was Aizen, but it was HIM! DIO!

For those asking why did Ichigo not say anything remember Kyoka Suigetsu affects the 5 senses hearing included couldn't he just make the captains unable to see or hear Ichigo

Everything Aizen does and says in the Fake Karakura Arc is completely iconic, but this moment was definitely the one that completely sold me on the character. 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

That was pretty jarring and really showed how terrifyingly effective Kyoka Suigetsu is. In general Aizen is emblematic of what knowing about the truth of the worlds origins will do to one's drive and goals. Tokinada used the information to foment conflict and chaos especially in the real world, Aizen wanted to truly change the game regardless of methods.

I used to read Bleach on a weekly basis too. That moment and when Aizen explained to Ichigo everything he did was in the palm of his hand was meme'd to hell. I loved it.

Aizen is a such a well written antagonist! He’s so mysterious and epic!

Aizen taking off his glasses and running a hand through his hair to instantly become evil is bar none the hardest panel in Bleach.

You are completely on point with this being Aizens most baller move. I’m so glad you are covering this.

One of the things that does set the mood up as well was when Shinji looks at Ichimaru and mentally mocks him. But while we see Ichimaru, it's from far away and not his face so we never see his expression. That was a clue into the situation.

Ichigo was straight up watching everyone rail on Momo

No one can approach this man’s swagger

My favorite moment is by far his ascension to Hueco Mundo and of course his, "I alone will sit at the top," speech. Tommo, I'm curious, what's your opinion of Jujutsu Kaisen? It's the only anime in a long while that's scratched the Bleach itch. Maybe a top 10 list of Bleach alternative animes?

My fav moment has to be "We are under attack... but first, let us all have some tea."

It's hard not to kill ants when you step on them. That line was epic

One of the best moments in bleach in this entire fight. Everyone vs. Aizen lol It’s so good I paused this video to go on crunchyroll just to watch this specific episode

aizen is still care about hinamori, but he also care about toshiro. thats why he give toshiro a "mental training"

This is one of my favorite moments in all of anime/manga and I’ve read and watched hundreds of anime/manga

It may be me but I think you've been getting videos out more often. I really enjoy that you're doing it and can't wait to see you hit that big 100k mark

His reveal as a villain at the end of The Soul Society Arc it's in my opinion his best moment because as he go on telling plot twist from plot twist my heart was melting.

The best Aizen scene is him being killed by Gin because it forces Aizen to grapple with the idea that someone exists who is smarter than him although he would never admit it.

The best Aizen scene is when they first show him sitting on chair sama

11:11 Ithought he got a heart attack there lmao. Great video btw, love your content.

I would love for Kubo to draw the fight all from Momo or ichigo's perspective. Seeing poor Momo fighting off the captains would be amazing

I'm an Aizen fan as well Mr. Tommo. You know you have a great villain when their name is added into the Urban dictionary as term for being overpowered. All hail, Lord Aizen

Honestly there's a pretty easy way to explain how he knows so much, considering his Zanpaktuō's ability.. he was probably able to stay in the same room with anyone he pleased, invisible to them.. gathering an untold amount of information. Very fitting ability for a puppet master who hides behind the scenes. Aizen, probably knows more about you than you do yourself. Lol

My favorite moment is at the end of this fight when Aizen smiles during the to be continued mark. Wallpaper worthy I tell you

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.

Aizen was totally ready to send Toshiro to Valhalla on the absolute banger of a note that he'd just stabbed his childhood friend in the sternum.

I will always hold that this moment would have been even more crazy if Aizen revealed the Espada were still alive and they were fighting weaker illusions of them to tire the Gotei out. Still extremely iconic though.

anime onlys not ready for chair-sama

One of the most perfect videos I've seen on this channel. You truly spoke the most logical words on Aizen. What a spectacular content ♥️♥️

From the moment my man took off his glasses nd slicked back his hair i was sold on him being my fav character

"When did you think I wasn't using kyokasuigestu" That line was badass

It was during Gin's speech that a lot of us realized, he may not be a traitor...just a realist

Props to the VA as well, that deep, sophisticated and calm voice perfectly represented his character

Hyped for a new video. Three videos in one week, now that’s a rare and awesome sight

This guy never runs out of Bleach discussions.

I just want to note MrTommo just put up 300 likes without a single dislike you gotta be putting out good ass vibes for that to happen man

Aizen vs Lelouch would be elite

One of my favourite scenes

You did a great job retelling this event in your own way Tommo!

great video also yeah this was a great moment

Have my upvote now but I will watch the video tomorrow after work, gotta go to sleep :x

From stopping the main character’s theme music with a finger to killing multiple enemies well sitting down (if I remember correctly he was also restrained), this man is a menace. Even after all these years with all the anime and manga I have checked out he still stands as one of my favorite villains, I hope the anime adaptation of the TYBW arc gives him the respect he deserves.

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.

I still think about what this whole situation looked like from Ichigo’s POV and whether Hinamori was conscious when it happened or if she was under a different illusion

"welcome to my soul society" enough said

I agree with you this is also my favourite moment of aizen and this scene solidified him as my favourite antagonist in animanga he is just too good and godly🐐

i couldnt agree more, ever since aizens betrayal, i was a fan, and then this moment, blew my mind, and even when i watched it in the anime the music was amazing. i had a fanboy moment😂 aizen has to be my favorite anime villain of all time

It's difficult for me to choose between this one and his stand off with Shinji. Their dialog before they actually clash was awesome. And explains Aizen's nature perfectly.

One of the greatest troll moments in the history of manga/anime. I felt like one of the shinigami, getting trolled myself.

I knew you were going to take this scene, and I'm so glad you did. I love this scene, Aizen is such a troll

Yeah man I completely agreed that this chapter was “thee” defining moment of Aizen’s Bad Assary as a villain when everyone fought him and easily beaten them all at once without as much as breaking a sweat, well maybe just a little sweat 😓, hence why it’s also my favorite Aizen moment what amazes me about this was the fact that during this entire time in particular he was still in his base form Shinigami Captain form.

When he released hado number 99 In his chair. Next level chills

He is cool

One of my favorite Aizen quotes is "reason exists for those, Who need to rely on it to survive"

Really wish the Arrancar amounted to a more significant group in how they affected the world and the other characters. The Espada sort of just get squashed, making for 300 or so chapters of hyping into a lot of nothing. It leaves me wondering what Aizen's plan even was. Supposed supergenius doesn't really have an upper hand against the Shinigami, especially the Zero Division.

Aizen: Welcome To MY soul society Juha:😀

Completely agree with you: It's the best moment, of the best character. Love the thorough way you explain everything and your passion for the series a lot mate. Subbed!

Man I love this channel it’s top 5 for me

rushing him from the front like that is a very stu

my favorite thing about this scene is how a big part of the 13th opening shows pieces of the scene

Tommo you bringing my love for bleach back bro! Lol

Aizen soloing all Captains is the best scene.

Top 5 Aizen moments

11:10 scary moment, felt like the speaker saw someone creeping up behind me lol

I love this scene and a massive fan of Aizen. The biggest problems I had with the logistics for this were: 1. Ichigo is right there the whole time, if they are attacking nothing whats he being quiet for? Maybe it was too fast for him but still 2. Wasn't Hinnomari inside a barrier that Izuru threw up? That means Aizen passed through the barrier to grab her at some point 3. Aizen's Shunpo must be insane to make the jump from wherever he is to grab her, position her and move back to his position all without Ichigo noticing or interacting.

Its one of the best scenes in all of bleach

"Any betrayal you can see is trivial. What is truly frightening and far more lethal, is the betrayal you cannot see."

17:30 “Bleach Exile” Damn, memory unlocked. I forgot about that place

Your commentary at 11:11 was beautiful! 😭

I love that William Dafoe meme where he's looking up in shock and horror with the caption "Ichigo seeing the captains comboing the shit out of momo". Lol

*What about the fact that Aizen says "Perfect Hypnosis of all 5 senses" But Reiatsu needs a sixth sense... In Fact, it feels like You wouldn't need to touch his blade to dispell the Illusion - if you can already sense Reiatsu from a distance and it's not part of what aizen can manipulate? Or can he not manipulate taste and Reiatsu instead?*

100% agree with you on this one. It showed that he really is a different caliber

I’ll never forget Ichigo trembling, panting, and confused just screaming what the hell are you guys doing. Something about that scene hits differently like you feel like all hope is lost. And then of course Aizen flexing genuinely one of my favorite scenes in anime.
