 Sōsuke Aizen is a Shinigami and the main antagonist in the world of Bleach. Aizen is first introduced as the captain of the 5th Division during the captains' meeting convened to reprimand Gin Ichimaru for his independent action against the invading Ryoka. The meeting abruptly ends as emergency bells are heard. He is next seen in the court yard with his lieutenant Momo Hinamori as the Ryoka break into Seireitei. Shortly after these events, Aizen is found dead and suspicion is initially thrown on Gin Ichimaru. However, upon reading a will left by Aizen, Hinamori begins to believe that it was Tōshirō Hitsugaya who killed Aizen. This causes her to turn against him and attempt to battle him. On the day of execution of Rukia Kuchiki it is revealed that Aizen is very much alive and that it was he who had manipulated events to arrange the execution of Rukia and attempted to get Hinamori killed by her childhood friend Hitsugaya through manipulation. Having failed in his goals, he stabs Hinamori himself, as well as severely injuring Hitsugaya. He then turns his attention to Rukia but not before revealing to Retsu Unohana the true power of his Zanpakutō, Kyōka Suigetsu. Aizen's true goal is revealed to be the Hōgyoku, an invention of Kisuke Urahara that the latter had hidden within Rukia's soul. Upon obtaining the Hōgyoku, Aizen abandoned Soul Society for Hueco Mundo along with his accomplices Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen. From his base of operations in Hueco Mundo: Las Noches, Aizen orchestrates the kidnapping of Orihime Inoue and uses her as a bait to lure and trap four Gotei 13 captains, as well as Ichigo and his friends. He then takes his Espada ranked 1 to 3 and invades Karakura Town. His avowed goal being to create the Ōken. Following the death of his top two Espada, Aizen himself disposes of the Tia Harribel, the Espada Tres, before entering the field of battle and inviting the Gotei 13 captains and their "Psuedo-Arrancar" friends to come at him. He then takes out Sajin Komamura, Rōjūrō Otoribashi, Love Aikawa and Lisa Yadōmaru. He even survives Soifon's Nigeki Kessatsu before finally being stabbed, first by Shunsui Kyōraku and subsequently by Hitsugaya, who was afforded the opening thanks to the shikai powers of Shinji Hirako - Aizen's former captain and the man Aizen betrayed 110 years ago.

The picture depicts the moment Sōsuke Aizen tells Ichigo Kurosaki that trying to keep his distance from the former captain while fighting him is futile. Having arrived back in Karakura Town, Ichigo begins an assault on Aizen, but is unable to harm him, as his attacks are either evaded or blocked by Aizen's Kidō barriers. Sōsuke then appears behind Ichigo, prompting him to quickly move away from Aizen, who wonders why Ichigo is keeping his distance. Sōsuke tells him that distance is only important in a battle between equals, but between himself and Ichigo, distance is meaningless and that he can always touch Ichigo's heart. As he says this, Aizen appears right in front of him and places his fingers on Ichigo's chest.
Featured Quote"Don't be mistaken. We haven't come here prepared to die. We're fighting to live. All of the protecting the world nonsense is nothing more than a grand cause with a nice ring to it. We're fighting so that we can live. So that you can live and to protect everyone else from Aizen's grasp" -- Soifon to Ichigo Kurosaki in Chapter 389.

As a stunned Ichigo watches Komamura and Rose fall, Aizen disposes of Love and Lisa, before being confronted by Soifon. She manages to execute her Nigeki Kessatsu ability but Aizen survives, overwhelming her reiatsu with his own. However, from the shadows Kyōraku strikes him through the back, as Hitsugaya charges from the front. Aizen disdainfully thinks that Hitsugaya is charging in without plan when he notices Shinji grinning while holding Sakanade in shikai. Hitsugaya stabs Aizen through the back. |

The escaped Tōjū appears again and attacks Rukia, who with the aid of her Zanpakutō spirit, captures it for study. |
