Noblesse Oblige.

Shinji finally releases the true form of his zanpakutou and it is cool as hell =]. However, the scanlators called this form a Bankai, even though I am pretty sure it's his Shikai. Sakanade has an interesting ability of instigating Opposite Day. Basically everything is flipped: front is back, left is right, etc. Dynamically, the direction in which one looks and the direction of an attack is inverted as well. Shinji manages to land a hit on Aizen, but Aizen quickly accustomizes and reciprocates Shinji with a slash of his own. We should note that this is the first time anyone has drawn blood from Aizen. The only other notable attack is when Urahara sliced off his armband. Right after Aizen saw through Shinji's ability, Ichigo crashes through the Gargantua and attempts to end Aizen in one blow from his blind spot. However, Aizen planned safeguards against this and Ichigo's attack was futile. Ichigo now no longer had the element of surprise, and Aizen challenges Ichigo to attack him head on in Hollow form. Ichigo abides and shoots a Getsuga Tenshou at Aizen. Aizen effortlessly flashsteps behind Ichigo and starts taunting him. Komamura intervenes Aizen's provocation and tells Ichigo that he and the other captains will protect him from Aizen's zanpakutou release so that Ichigo can find a way to defeat him.
