Yamamoto (Kubo) said that none stronger than him were born in the last 1,000 years. That includes Aizen. :) Aizen (Kubo) said that his power alone surpasses to that of the 10 Espada put together. Therefore, Yamamoto wins with ease.

Shunsui wins this one with relative ease. Yamamoto (Kubo) says that none better than him had come out of the academy, thus, that's an automatic win. As for the battle itself, I believe that Shunsui is faster, more adept, and skillful than Soifon. She does not stand a chance. As for her two hit...

:amuse Interesting match up. I am going to tackle this one strictly based on what we know from the manga and the databooks (both are cannon): I will start by listing what we know from the manga (= means more or less equal in terms of power +/- 5% difference) Bankai Ichigo = Sealed Grimmjow...

:hbunny I am really happy that Shunsui had come 3rd, Aizen and Yamamoto were without a doubt expected to finish in the top two after all :) My condolences to the votes who had voted for Shinji, it was an interesting debate, but only one can win ;) As usual, thanks to the Moderators for...

I'll stick with the generally and globally accepted notion: It takes Shinji an X amount of time to release any mist, since he has to spin his sword continuously for the entire time. As for the rest of your post...mm...interesting. I completely disagree however. Grimmjow was at 10% of his...

:oh Okay? You still haven't answered the question though: how much time do you think such a dialogue would take in a normal/slow relaxed conversation? [hr] :eyeroll Okay, I'll take that as 20 seconds (negate the bias), now add on top of that the extra time that Shinji was spinning his sword...

Actual Japanese dialogue tends to be slower, the anime is a "good" guide in this case. Nonetheless, let me ask you; how much time would such a dialogue take?:eyeroll

Aizen already stated that he had failed to sense any changes while Shinji was spinning his sword for quite some time at that stage. If ANY mist was created, there is no doubt that Aizen would have seen it/noticed it. Aizen says that he had not noticed anything, which proves the notion that...

Straw man: to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position. Just because the 11-second fight was prolonged in the...

@locke002paul Aizen might have only suggested that KS was started to be used when Hitsugaya charged at him (After the Shinji vs. Aizen) fight. No KS was used against Shinji unless otherwise stated: innocent until proven guilty.

All that time was necessary, since Aizen says that he hadn't sensed any change. Aizen says this after Shinji had spun his sword for quite some time: I do not sense any change. Also, notice how Shinji finally comments that he is able to smell to mist at the bottom of page 6 on chapter 387 -...

@locke002paul Read this. That pretty much confirms that Shinji has to spin the sword for an X amount of time for the mist to be generated (stage 2).

By the way, as I have stated above, notice how Aizen states: I fail to sense any noticeable kind of change. when Shinji had already spun his sword for some time at that point. Thus, pretty much confirming that Shinji has to spin his sword for an X amount of time for the mist to be generated.

Moreover, notice how Aizen says this midway in the dialogue (Shinji was already spinning his sword for at least 20 seconds judging from the manga panels) I fail to sense any noticeable kind of change. If the mist creation/initiation was instantaneous, Aizen would have noticed a change, as...

:eyeroll True. It could take 60 seconds. All we know is that the following dialogue was carried between Aizen and Shinji while Shinji was spinning his sword; in fact, Shinji was already spinning his sword for some time before the dialogue took place in chapter 387: Aizen: ...An intriguing...
