Sosuke Aizen’s Spectacular Return in Bleach TYBW has set the anime community abuzz. The character, renowned as the King of Reiatsu, showcased his formidable prowess all while restrained to a chair. Aizen’s impressive display included his famous Hado 90: Kurohitsugi, alongside an attempt to unleash his Spiritual Pressure with enough force to impact the Soul King’s Palace.
The recent episode of Bleach TYBW, titled Against the Judgement, primarily highlighted Aizen’s grand comeback to combat. Despite a brief moment where NaNaNa incapacitated him, Aizen demonstrated why he is regarded as one of Yhwach’s five War Potentials, asserting his status with remarkable displays of power.
Fans of the series have engaged in passionate discussions about Aizen’s unmatched presence in this episode, many even dubbing him the “GOAT,”an acronym for the “Greatest of All Time.”

Why is Aizen Considered the “GOAT”in Bleach TYBW?
The return of Sosuke Aizen has ignited significant excitement online. As Yhwach sought to absorb the Soul King’s Spiritual Pressure, a wave of monstrous creatures emerged, descending from the Soul King’s Palace and launching an indiscriminate assault on the Soul Reapers in Seireitei.
Amidst the chaos, Byakuya Kuchiki and other Soul Reapers utilized their Zanpakuto abilities in an effort to combat these creatures. However, their overwhelming numbers made victory challenging. This is when Aizen made his entrance, using his extraordinary Spiritual Pressure to annihilate the enemy forces.
Aizen’s presence was palpable; he defeated the aggressive creatures without ever needing to draw his weapon. Resting comfortably in a remarkably designed chair with his powers significantly suppressed, he effectively shielded the Seireitei from the onslaught using just his Spiritual Pressure.
After dispatching a few beings effortlessly, Aizen invoked Hado 90: Kurohitsugi without even reciting the incantation. This display of power was greater than his earlier confrontation with Ichigo Kurosaki in Karakura Town.
Upon Aizen’s arrival, there was immediate resistance from Rukia and the other Soul Reapers, who had previously fought valiantly against him in Karakura. Nonetheless, Shunsui Kyoraku reminded them that sometimes evil must be met with evil.
Aizen appeared unfazed by Rukia’s defiance and offered his assistance in destroying the Soul King’s Palace when he learned that the Soul Reapers were attempting to create a gateway to the Royal Palace. What unfolded was a spectacle for Bleach TYBW aficionados, as Aizen unleashed an intense wave of Spiritual Pressure aimed at bringing down the palace.
While seated, Aizen’s potent Spiritual Pressure penetrated the canopy protecting the Royal Palace, despite his inherent limitations. Though he could not fully unleash his power on the first attempt due to constraints, the Soul Reapers recognized the need for new technology to properly restrain Aizen’s formidable strength.
It was implied that had he persisted, Aizen might have successfully breached the technology. All was progressing well until NaNaNa intervened, using his Underbelly Schrift to restrain Aizen before he could make further attempts.
Although Aizen ended up immobilized, his commanding presence in the episode was undeniable, overshadowing even Shunsui Kyoraku, who displayed considerable leadership throughout the episode. The narrative duly highlighted the lethal nature of Aizen’s Spiritual Pressure and his capabilities. It raises intriguing questions about just how powerful he remains even when restrained, a sentiment echoed by Kisuke Urahara, who noted Aizen’s growth since his battle with Ichigo.
