There's also a 3rd, kinda implied weakness to Kyoukasuigetsu: the illusion can only be as accurate as Aizen's knowledge allows it. Kubo confirmed in Klub Outside 482 that the reason Unohana felt there was something wrong with Aizen's corpse was due to the huge amount of bodies she's seen in her life. It'd not be that far fetched to assume someone as smart as Urahara would be able to tell what's part of the hypnosis by noticing the slight inconsistancies.

[@xegin1572]

@@andrelima4125 Urahara knows of that weakness and had the prep time, it's likely he found a way to consistantly exploit that weakness. He kept it to himself either because it'd be too hard for other to use it (like the portable gigai), or to keep it up his sleeve to surprise Aizen. The thing is, not only Aizen was strong enough to beat Urahara without Kyoukasuigetsu, he also likely fought with the expectation that Urahara found a way to counter it. After all Aizen recognise Urahara as the only man smarter than him.

[@galaxyexe3627]

@@xegin1572Outside of having to see the shikai once to be under its influence Unahara wouldn’t be aware of the 1st weakness because his last interaction with Aizen was 100 years prior to their reunion and even then Aizen did not use the effect on him and it was very brief that he would not have been able to figure out that weakness.

Throughout the Deicide arc, Aizen was turning from a powerful trickster that, while being strong, relied mostly on his intelect to win battles. But as he began transforming, you see him, not exactly turning dumb, but becoming cocky as he's more and more infatuated with the Hogyoku's power. I believe he even says so to Urahara. "I'm so powerful now that I don't even have to raise my guard against you". He wanted to fight with sheer brute force.

[@bwestacado9643]

Urahara's zanpakuto was also capable of adapting and overcoming power used against it. Like Yammy's cero, once analyzed Benihime was able to match it's energy signature and cancel it out. Now imagine him being able to analyze Kyoka Suigetsu's ability? Not only could he stop himself from falling under the influence, but he very well could have prevented everyone from falling under it's power. Taking away the one advantage Aizen had over an entire society of soldiers aiming their blades at him. Aizen needed the Hogyoku to evolve him instead of trying to beat Kisuke with his ability

[@Kenshin6321]

That's an interesting take, I like it.

[@GolDAce1-forall]

Not adapting exactly. A little bit more different. Benihime's main power is restructuring and it restructured it's attacks to detonate and cancel out Yammy's Bala

[@DiamonDust]

Highly doubtful that this can work on any technique. The technique has to be made of reishi, first of all. Aizen’s hypnosis targets the brain directly… there is no reishi structure to analyze. Urahara is limited to countering projectiles or other energy blasts essentially, and he probably can’t do it on some mass scale. For example, it’s doubtful that he could just disable all of Starrk’s cero metreletta. There are way too many being fired… like thousands. Also, I question whether he can do it on stronger techniques. He disabled a bala which is pretty weak, but compare that to something like say… Aizen’s Kurohitsugi and there is no way we can compare those two things to say he could disable a Kurohitsugi.

That's not necessarily true. We know Aizen had placed at least a strong majority of the Gotei under Kyoka Suigetsu even before he became a captain, it's how he was able to get away with his actions during the Turn Back the Pendulum arc, because he had several prominent members of the Gotei, including Shunsui, under Kyoka Suigetsu already. It is also shown that all of the Visords were under Kyoka Suigetsu even from 100 years ago, and it is stated several times that only Ichigo is both unaffected by Kyoka Suigetsu and strong enough to potentially beat Aizen. So, seeing as how these statements all get made when Ichigo would be much weaker than Urahara, we can assume either Urahara is also under Kyoka Suigetsu, or these statements were being made under false perceptions of Ichigo and Aizen's power levels. Now as for Aizen's actual reasons for not using Kyoka Suigetsu it's obvious, he was farming XP. It's the same reason he didn't avoid Gin's sneak attack and let his guard down in all his fights, because in order for him to evolve at this point in the series he needed to handicap himself and allow other people a chance of actually doing some damage to him and forcing his evolution.

[@togucvinw7]

There’s a simpler reason that was explained by Aizen himself : as soon as he started merging/pokemon like evolving with the Hogyoku he didn’t need to use a zanpakuto anymore(that’s why he didn’t used it against Ichigo, not because he wanted to test his strength, otherwise he wouldn’t have used kidou as well).

This is just my hypothesis.

So as far as anyone in soul society was concerned Ichigo was their only hope, and its a fact that urahara, isshin and yourichi only intervene in situations when they deem it absolutely necessary, they were 100% ready to not meddle in the fight with aizen alongside soul society, and watch everyone all die by the head captains final last dich effort to kill aizen.

[@amethonys2798]

Almost the entire soul society was under KS long before any actual "demonstrations" like his captain's ceremony. The entire reason Aizen never had any suspicion thrown at him for turn back the pendulum is because everyone was already under his control at that point (most notably people like Shunsui testifying seeing Aizen was still doing his usual tasks during the event).

[@seikonbi-music]

The illusion has to be realistic too. Urahara was aware of his abilities and Aizen probably knew to save his illusions for when they’d be most useful rather than spamming it.

Do we know, if there's going to be the Bleach sequel? I wish we could find out more about Aizen-sama and get some more story! Long Live Tite Kubo!

[@oof8911]

Another reason could be Aizen had information on Urahara's bankai, and figured if he used his zanpakuto, Urahara may use his

[@gishena]

The only reason Aizen didn't use it was cuz he wanted to crush all of them via sheer force. The same reason he allowed himself to be hit by a #90 level hadou.

[@MrAyeSir]

We don't specifically know how the shikai activation works either. It might make Aizen vulnerable or take a certain amount of time. He had more than enough time to show the Gotei 13 over the years, but it might not be effective mid-combat.

[@carlosmorales1944]

Urahara was playing with people’s minds with no illusion powers. He had inflatable copies of himself, in his pocket, like it was a pack of cigarettes 🤣🤣🤣. Playing an illusion attack on him has a very high rate of backfiring.

[@andrelima4125]

no wait Aizen mostly discarded his zanpakuto when he transcended with the hogyoku, he was rejecting his shinigami side to be a transcendent being. Also aizen didnt use KS on Ichigo because he created Ichigo to be someone the same as him which means someone who would maybe understand him and his ambitions. And you do not brainwash people like that

[@Thecor13]

Aizen did not create ichigo he creates white and had him attack katakura town. He did not expect isshin and masaki to meet

[@andrelima4125]

​@@Thecor13 sure he didnt but he then adapted to the situation and saw potential in masaki and isshin's child to be a complete being (a being that transcends shinigami and hollows), a soul king candidate and on par with him. He then orchestrated most ichigo's fights in order for him to gradually power up (imagine if ichigo met idk yama or shunsui or hitsugaya) until they eventually fought. That was all for the sole purpose of creating a being that was equal to him, because as ichigo himself puts it "I felt loneliness in his sword, not arrogance or hatred". Aizen wanted to be understood but there was noone to understand him, That's why he never tells ppl what his plans for the world after he becomes SK are and that's why he never uses KS on Ichigo. Of course he "biologically" created White. But he nurtured Ichigo's powers

[@Thecor13]

@andrelima4125 what you have stated after is 100 percent true, aizen definitely took initiative once he found out about the child

[@andrelima4125]

@@Thecor13 the point of my comment is to emphasize that aizen didn't wanna "test his new powers" on Ichigo or whatever and that is misinterpretation of the character and explain with some manga basis why he would never put Ichigo under KS.

[@Thecor13]

@andrelima4125 considering the theme of ichigo since episode 1 breaking out of a kido spell only as a human at the moment to him cutting yhwach despite having Almighty I think this has to do with ichigo and the possible fate manipulation ability he supposedly has. I don't think KS can out beat fate manipulation.

[@Pyco_]

Now that I think about it, touching the blade giving immunity sounds like a big flaw. You cut somebody with that and they get immunity.

[@J.c410]

It only works as long as you are in contact with the blade. It's not immunity per say

[@HistoryStrongest616]

Kisuke also probably like poked his foot against the blade😂

[@jessenebulous3392]

Also, he didn’t use it on Ichigo because he had to give up his Bankai to Achieve hollowification. & with the Urahara arc, he probably had it achieved for over 100 years.

[@AfriandiHaryanto]

"Why you didn't use kyoka suigetsu against Urahara?" Aizen: "Dude, he is technically the f*king Batman of our universe! He already had contingency plan for it BEFORE Kubo-chan writes The Death and The Strawberry!" 🙄

[@cameronwashington53]

More like he just didn’t want to because of his progression with the hogyoku

[@RaykinaBreaker]

If we think again, there actually a lot of character in Bleach that still never seen Kyoka Suigetsu work though most of them don't have capability to even fight Aizen.

[@Broke.But.Handsome]

Aizen wanted to prove that Kisuke couldn't have a counter measure for absolute strength... he was right

[@damariusgriffin]

I don't recall the 2nd weakness ever being a thing especially considerng he got Ywatch caught in it. and I wouldn't consider the "3rd" as a weakness. It's like saying having to call out your zanpakutō's name is a weakness. It's just an activation condition and he literallly only has to do it once.

[@duffno1]

Urahara is the “Batman” of Bleach. Contingency plans of contingency plans!

[@AnonTDegenerate]

It was definitely pride. Urahara said the old aizen wouldn't have let his kido land. Same would apply for kyoka

[@Alrucards]

I'm pretty sure that the 2nd weakness you mentioned isn't true as Yamamoto and Yhwach could have broken the illusions, but Yhwach did fall victim to Aizens illusion.

[@TartarusPU]

Here’s a fun video idea: did the gotei 13 know Aizen was so powerful when he was a member/captain or only after?

[@stevejamieson8468]

There is scene where Aizen showed Unohana & her lieutanaunt some of the capabilities of his shikai. Unohana being one of the most senior captains probably saw Aizen's bankai during his captains exam.

[@DrunkenSoulReaper]

This is just false ….. unohana already confirmed kisuke saw kyoka before ….. aizen just didn’t use it on him as he kept his gaurd dropped on purpose

[@animesjogoseseriesclassica8282]

Better question is why he never used Bankai. But my guess is because the writter could not think on anything more OP than his Shikai.

[@Sam___Stubborn_____ig]

The writer IS the bankai

[@xegin1572]

The best theory I've seen is, Aizen actually used his Bankai against Yhwach. His Bankai makes people see not what he wants them to see, but what they themselves wants to see. Aizen says "Fascinating. So you think it's Kurosaki you're attacking.", which could imply he had no idea what Yhwach was seeing. Kyoka Suigetsu has a 4th weakness: it can't make you see something Aizen himself isn't aware of, think of him trying to make you see your favorite book, he can maybe guess the cover but everything else would be a mystery to him and not exist in the illusion, you'll notice Aizen never completely alters people's reality, he just changes details, this is to avoid falling into this weakness of KS. Further, this weakness was already a problem to Aizen, way back in the SS Arc Unohana mentions she could tell something was up with Aizens corpse, this isn't because Unohana noticed a flaw in the actual illusion but instead due to Aizens lesser knowledge on the Human (or rather Shinigami) body, at least not enough to create a perfect corpse for Unohana to not notice (confirmed by Kubo in Klub Outside 482). Usually Aizen simply works around this weakness in KS by limiting what he changes but this no longer works against someone like Yhwach, he knows every single possible future, as soon as he notices that the current events aren't matching up with any future he knows KS is being used on him and he simply uses the Almighty to get around this. An opponent being able to abuse this tiny weakness in KS is exactly what his Bankai is would cover. His Shikai makes people belive lies. His Bankai lies by telling the truth the oponent wants to hear. It would not only fit extremely well thematically with his Bankai being yet another contingency plan, it would also explain why he didn't use it up until the fight against Yhwach, it's just not that useful most of the time, kinda like Shinji's.

[@corruptangel6793]

"Better question is why he never used Bankai" Why would he use it? Bankai is a trump card. Aside from Ichigo, when did Aizen ever show signs of needing it? Also, think of Aizen's true nature: crushing loneliness to the point of wanting to lose his powers. Would his Bankai actually be more powerful than his Shikai?

Am I the only one that remembers the dead central 46 and how when unahana appeared before izen she let him know that something was up with his corpse which is why she was there in the first place to get to the bottom of it. So it might just not work well on really smart people.

[@deeptobhattacharyya3249]

Not just that he didnt use Kyoka Suigetsu on Ichigo but Ichigo touched the blade so now he's also immune

[@tiosevenstars]

It is possible Kyouka Suigetsu being so broken actually has numerous drawback. Anything that basically limits its usage greatly. Surely its smart wielder wouldn't reveal them out loud

It took kenpachi azashiro several days to break out of KS for good, KS is escapable

[@tiosevenstars]

@@aiya5777 wow that's actually awesome! But several days is still way beyond the length of most fights. it's still inescapable once it landed

[@mitromney]

Urahara never saw the sword release though. He wasn't on the captain ceremony when Aizen presented it to all lieutenants and captain's, because he was just a 3rd seat or something. And he is a nerd always doing overtime, closed in his rooom, so there is a good chance he never saw it on other occasions either.

[@amethonys2798]

That doesn't follow though. Most of SS was under KS before the captain's ceremony. The whole reason Aizen avoids any suspicion for turn back the pendulum is so many people including Shunsui saw "him" walking around the Seretei while things were going down. Him putting KS on people also HAD to happen during or before turn back the pendulum because all of the visored were already under its control during FKT despite Aizen not being able to interact with them for the hundred years between those events.

[@mitromney]

@amethonys2798 visored are ex captains and lieuntenants. So it makes sense they're under his spell. And you're right, Aizen had to be going around Seretei randomly releasing his spell in the crowds of shinigami for decades for his plan to work. I'm only suggesting there are still some he might've missed in a realm this big. Like a low seat that's always nerding out in his room, going on stealth missions or working in secret prisons.

[@Group3-BSEScienceIII-1]

When Aizen fought Urahara, Aizen was already in his limit as shinigami, so he can't use his zampakuto or his reatsu. So he can just use his hollow power and his hogyoko
