Aizen Sōsuke vs Hirako Shinji

[Raizen]

He didn't need to have appeared out of nowhere, he could have created an illusion of himself a couple of feet away from his true position, making it easy to avoid their attacks and counter.

About the WW fight, I definitely believe Kensei lost. Aizen might have used KS to alter WW's position according to Kensei's perception for all we know, since he needed to keep WW safe for Yama, but I don't believe it would come to this - WW was insanely strong, I believe he was up to legitimately defeating Kensei in Bankai.

@LucyBenard I'm not responding any more on this subject, you truly seem to believe that Kubo needs to state every single time Aizen uses KS in the manga, even though this would make for pretty poor dialogue - every 5 pages Aizen saying "lol btw I used KS". I think Kubo wants us to come to logical conclusions about some things without all the details being explicitly stated based on what we know about the character's history/personality, since stating literally every single detail would become tiresome for him and his readers.

1. Now those would be assumptions.

2. I think we can agree WW owned kensei fair and square

Correct, but ones which could easily be true.

2. I think we can agree WW owned kensei fair and square

Probably

^If there were such indications, perhaps.
In all the times KS has been used, it was obvious.
Halibel: aizen's glass shattered
Shunsui and co: Aizen states so himself. Hinamori switch.
Unohana: sword turns to body

Nope. Aizen did not create an illusion of himself a couple of feets away when fighting anyone. Any such claims are simply theoretical since the manga does in no way whatsoever indicate otherwise.

Wrong again. Aizen did not use KS to Alter WW's position while he was taking on Yamamoto at the same time.

Obviously, the author needs to show an illusion if it were to have taken place in real time. Otherwise, it'll be nothing but a myth, as you've been conjecturing these past few days because you simply refuse to believe that Aizen is above captain class. Either that, or you're one heck of a Shinji fan.

I think Kubo will show us what he wants to show us, illusions or no illusion; as I had pointed out before: KS is a major feat and is really confusing. Ergo, for Kubo to showcase its abilities, he has to show it to the readers.

Look like Aizen has won by a healthy margin.

It's no illusion! Aizen wins the match! He shall compete against Yamamoto to decide who the winner of the tournament will be.

It's not over for Shinhi though. Shunsui shall compete against Shunsui to decide who will come in third place.

Discuss the result of this match and all others in the Tournament Discussion thread. Stay tuned for more details!
