Oh God, I wish that we had a chapter or episode that Ichigo hears that come out of Aizen’s mouth, and then goes up to Aizen and punches him in the face repeatedly, and ask “was THIS according to your ‘plan’” with each punch. I mean I know that Gin would be more likely to have heard that line enough to snap, but I think that since Aizen deliberately fucked with Ichigo’s life, that it’d be more satisfying.

His families death was 100% out of his hands so referencing it gets you like 2 mean points at best it’s not a diss. Rengoku dying gets a few more points since you can make the unfair argument that had he been stronger he might have been able to save him but even then rengoku went on that mission on his own without tanjiro initially. He would have died anyway and tanjiro being there still made saving all the passenger possible so he still made the situation end better then it would have had he not been there, so again weak diss.
