Aizen is the overarching antagonist inBleach.Even after the appearance of Yhwach, the Quincy King, Aizen’s unhinged acts still stand superior. Tite Kubo gave him some truly terrifying moments in the series, but one scene triumphs all others.
Tite Kubo is the king of twists. From Uryu Ishida switching sides, Ichigo’s mixed parentage, and Yoruichi’s true form to Aizen’s death,Bleachfans have been taken by surprise way too many times. But nothing could have prepared them for the deranged scene in which the Gotei 13 stabbed away at Momo, all the while thinking it was Aizen.
The moment when Aizen won his unhinged antagonist title inBleach
Towards the finale of the Fake Karakura Town arc, Aizen has a battle with The Gotei 13 and the Visored. The sequence involved a huge fight between some superior captains and Aizen, but the result was the biggest twist known to mankind. In fact, it could even rival the twists in some of the most popular series likeOne PieceorNaruto.

Some of the most notable people who went against Aizen were Toshiro Hitsugaya, Shunshui Kyoraku, Saijin Komamura, and Sui Feng, all of whom are captains from the Gotei 13. Not to mention Genryusai Yamamoto, the commander of the Gotei 13 himself. Yet, Aizen managed to befuddle all of them with no exceptions.
After the captains were done gashing and slashing at Aizen and Hitsugaya impaled him from behind, everyone proclaimed that the captains had finally won. Only for a shocked Ichigo to shout at everyone and ask what the hell they were doing. When everyone looks back at Aizen, they are terrified to see it isn’t Aizen but Momo, who Hitsugaya had stabbed.
The explanation behind Tite Kubo’s insane twist inBleach
After recovering from the shock, Shinji asked Aizen how long he had been using his hypnosis powers. Aizen calmly explains thatKyoka Suigetsu’s power is total hypnosis, by controlling all five senses at all times. He had been using his power all along, making everyone except Ichigo perceive Momo as Aizen.

Fans have been confused as to why Ichigo never warned anyone else about who they were attacking before it was too late. But Kyoka Suigetsu takes complete control over the senses. Thus, Ichigo might have been screaming all along, but no one could even hear him due to Aizen’s manipulation.
As to why Aizen chose Momo to take his place, it could have been to give the Gotei 13 additional trauma. Momo was especially close to Hitsugaya, and Aizen made him deal the final blow to her, which eventually made him shout in pain. In the end,Tite Kubosuccessfully made the mostinteresting and villainous characterin existence.
