Bleach Theories

[ByakuyaKuchiki]

I'd love for someone to give their theory on what Aizen's bankai is. His Shikai is so ridiculous that it's gotta be pretty insane.

Kyōka Suigetsu, meaning "mirror flower water moon," is released with the command "scatter." According to wikipedia, the name is some fancy pants chinese idiom meaning illusion, I don't know how accurate that is, nor do I care.

1. The scattering of mirror fragments, or even flower petals, are a breaking down or tearing of real, naturally occurring objects. (Yes I realize mirrors aren't naturally occuring, but reflective surfaces are, and it doesn't change the point I'm making, so **** off)

2. Aizen fairly easily diagnosed Orihime's abilities, abilities that not even Hachi, with his similar powers, understood.

3. Aizen used the Hogekyou, which was supposed to be dormant for a year. The supposed explanation was that pumping out lots of reiatsu would awaken it, but that's a little hard for me to believe. If a large dose of reiatsu would have awoken the Hogekyou, then the pressence of the Soukyoku 2 feet from Rukia's chest should have caused some sort of reaction, possibly hollowfication.

4. Aizen is by no means a veteran, in comparison to other captains, and Yamamoto, yet he has MASTERED every form of combat, something that we have no evidence of any other Shinigami having accomplished. Some souls could have a natural edge over others, but reaching the pinnacle takes time and training, and as far as we know, Aizen hasn't had nearly as long as some of the other captains.

Aizen's shikai ability is to alter perception. I believe that his bankai ability is to actually alter reality, most likely on a small scale. It is the only logical step up, and considering some of his actions, it makes sense. I'm going to continue looking for evidence, but that's what I have so far.


Also, on a completely un-related note, I found a funny little piece of foreshadowing. The symbol for the fifth division is called the "Lily of the Valley," nicknamed the "Ladder to Heaven."

But couldn't his Bankai be something water related also? I mean the chinese proverb it's derived from does mention a pond of sorts. So following that chain of logic isn't it possible (not probable) that he could exert some form of water control? Or maybe gravity since it mentions the moon also? Idk maybe I'm missing the point entirely.

Well i wasnt about to read Balling's theory thuroughly.... BUT im guessing he has a pretty good idea of what hes speaking of... and though its possible; that anything is possible in Bleach im not so sure TK would make Aizen have a moon, or water based sword. Not decieving enough


though when you kinda think... maybe if he did possess moon powers... thats why he would want to go to HM to do all his shinanigans.. hmmm

Look at your reflection in a pond and then throw a rock in the water. Distorts your image, doesn't it?

Water makes sense to me.

Or maybe he can possibly (a bit farfetched) have some type of mist-illusion power? It would kinda fit in with the whole deception theme of his Zanpakuto.

This is not KHR.

KHR? Kingdom Hearts Remix?

[Suiton:Katon:Doton]

Sure if you say so.
