Aizen, taking Rose's Kinshara, wraps it around Love, pulling him closer and slashing him as well.
Lisa, with her Hollow mask on, attacks Aizen from behind with her released Zanpakutō, Haguro Tonbo, but he evades the attack and breaks her Zanpakutō. Noticing she is wearing her Hollow mask, he, stating he already told them they are nothing but pseudo-Arrancar, cuts her down as well, asking if he can have Arrancar obeying him, how could "pseudo-Arrancar" expect to stand against him?
As this happens, Ichigo watches in shock as the captains and Visored all fall defeated from Aizen, the sheer terror of their defeat a crushing weight on his soul.
When Captain Suì-Fēng appears in front of Aizen, he asks her if she has gone insane, since he never imagined the Onmitsukidō, much less its supreme commander, would attack him head-on.
Aizen recites what all Shinigami learn in the academy: do not seek beauty in battle, do not seek out virtue in death, do not think of your life as your own, and cut down your foes from behind to protect what must be protected.
When Suì-Fēng finds it amusing that a traitor would recite Shinigami lessons to her, Aizen states he once taught those lessons before.
Suì-Fēng tells him it was because the Central 46 allowed him to do so, which is why they had the rug pulled out from under them by a traitor.
Aizen, telling her not to speak ill of the dead, points out she had the rug pulled from under her too.
Suì-Fēng, stating this is not the case for her, creates many clones. When Aizen praises her on how well the clones are made,
Suì-Fēng, stating it is an honor to receive some praise from him, decides she is going to finish him off with this technique. The clones of her charge towards Aizen.
As Aizen goes to unsheathe his Zanpakutō, his arm is encased in ice, a sudden, blinding frost wrapping around him. Suì-Fēng, appearing in front of Aizen, uses Nigeki Kessatsu, hitting Aizen in the chest.
When it does not work, Aizen tells her his immense Reiatsu will cancel out her technique. Aizen is surprised when he is attacked from the back by a shadow.
Captain Shunsui Kyōraku reveals himself, having used his Kageoni technique, and states Aizen was careless by not considering there was a shadow on the ice.
As Aizen curses the 8th Division captain under his breath, Hitsugaya tells Aizen it is over. Aizen, glancing at him as Hitsugaya rushes at him, notes to himself that because Hitsugaya is so young, he attacks at the first opening without planning ahead, calling it his biggest failing.
However, he is surprised when he notices Shinji Hirako, standing to the side, holding up his Sakanade and smiling.
As Aizen realizes he has entered the inverted world and Hitsugaya is not attacking from the front but the back, he is stabbed through the chest from behind with an expression of surprise and dawning horror on his face.
Aizen, feeling the blade that has stabbed him, tries to pull it out but eventually gives up while cursing Hitsugaya.
When Kira yells out that the captains have finally done it, Iba tells Kira he should look happier and not have the same gloomy look on his face, and Kira tells him he is right. Hinamori, getting up, begins walking away, her movements slow, mechanical.
When Iba and Kira ask her where she is going, she does not answer. Shinji, looking over at Gin, tells him it looks like things are finally turning around.
"Everyone, what the hell are you all doing?" Suddenly, a familiar yelling voice of Ichigo spread through the battleground.
After this, everyone is shocked and horrified that the defeated "Aizen" was actually Hinamori, a collective gasp of utter disbelief and spiritual pain echoing across the town.
Shinji, looking over to where Hinamori was, saw Kira and Iba being cut down by Aizen, who moved with a sickening, effortless speed.
When Shinji asks Aizen how long he has been using Kyōka Suigetsu, Aizen answers with an explanation of his Zanpakutō's ability.
When Shinji angrily asks his question again, Aizen asks him when he thought he had not been using it.
As Hitsugaya cradles Hinamori in his arms, she asks "why," pushing Hitsugaya over the edge. In a blind rage, he attempts to attack Aizen, his movements wild and grief-stricken.
As the other captain-level fighters try to stop him, Aizen, pointing out they are all full of openings, cuts down Hitsugaya, Suì-Fēng, Shunsui, and Shinji instantly, their bodies collapsing with a dull thud.
Far away, Nel glanced at everything happening solemnly and spoke, "Brother, Aizen is really strong; I don't see any chance of him losing against them. I think you are mistaken."
Eero smiled playfully and then didn't reply to her; he turned and glanced at the towering figure of Captain-Commander Yamamoto walking outside from the flame pillars, a silhouette of furious, ancient power.
"I am late; also, it seems I am the only one left to deal with you," Captain Yamamoto spoke coldly, his voice vibrating with restrained power, looking at Aizen standing in front of him.
Aizen raised his brow intriguingly and replied, "If you fail, then the Gotei thirteen will collapse on its own."
The next moment, Aizen appeared behind him and cut him down. As Yamamoto turned around to confront him, Aizen stabbed Yamamoto through the stomach.
Nel's interest peaked after seeing Yamamoto appear outside the flame pillars and face off against Aizen and Wonderweiss. She was then disappointed looking at Captain Yamamoto sacrificing himself in order to stop the self-destruction of Wonderweiss and ended up seriously injured, his mighty reiatsu fading to a faint ember.
After that, Isshin Kurosaki appeared along with Urahara and Yoruichi, but all of them were defeated by Aizen. At the same time, his physical evolution entered the next stage.
Eero glanced at the Nel expression, and a wide smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "It seems you really want to see Aizen being defeated."
