Compared to, lets say Urahara who goes from zero to complete understanding of your power in a few seconds, Aizen is downright slow.

Clearly, we need a one of these...But who?

He was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a hollow that would have challenged Rukia under normal circumstances. Even with Ichigo's heavy spiritual pressure clouding her instincts, it was a momentary lapse in concentration, a screwup caused by Rukia's reaction to Ichigo's attempted heroic sacrifice, that lead to her getting injured and them having to try giving Ichigo soul reaper powers. It's very likely that Rukia would've just split him apart if Karin hadn't mumbled in her sleep and inspired Ichigo to do something stupid.

Now, could you please tell me how Aizen could have planned that?

It seemed more like he knew it had happened. I'm pretty sure everything after SS arc was apart of his plan (manga wise. filler doesn't count).

Two reasons:
1. The Character we're speaking of is Aizen. Alias Mr. Know-It-All, alias Pullshitow Tamyass, alias Plot-twisty McPlottwist von Plottentwiststein in Great Plottwistia. Alternatively replace every instance of "plot-twist" with "ass-pull" or "ass-pull ex machina"
2. It's Bleach.

I'm kinda worried. I know this won't be the end of the series. But how ridiculously over-the-top indestructible will the next villain be? Please don't tell me it'll be Aizen again, because I'm already bored by him. Unless there's some interesting twist to him. And by that I don't mean a background sob-story.

[Aerozord]

he starts his little, all as planned, monologue after "you met Rukia" so its possible it started after he became a soul reaper. What really makes no sense is how he could have planned for Uryu. Aizen did things by manipulating soul society and hollows, but Uryu did everything on his own with absolutely no outside influence. Unless that was just a plausible excuse for him to send out a menos grande, which Rukia still found abit odd.

Of course this is Aizen we are talking about. He might just be making it all up. This would be, what, the fifth time his reveal of his plan was complete BS

[Bells]

Don't forget that by the Time Rukia went to earth the Hougyoku was laready hidden in her body by Urahara, and Aizen knew it. And he manipulated Soul Society to make Rukia go where Ichigo Was.

So... it's not completely Clusterfuck insane that he manipulated the whole thing...

Remember that Uryuu is one of the very few Quincies left, and Mayuri was experimenting on his Grandfather. So there is also a connection there as to why the paths of Ichigo and Ishida crossed early on.

This all leads to Aizen actually manipulating everything all the time or a much darker and crazy theory...

Urahara and Yoruichi are also Traitors and their parts were to make sure Ichigo moved along the Path Aizen wanted. And the weird thing is... there is actually evidence for that.

[Ryong]

Aizen is keeping on with the bullshit. Also, Isshin! The fuck he's gonna do!?

[Locke cole]

My guess? He's going to punch evil in the face.

Oh wait no, it's Isshin. What I meant is he's going to drop-kick evil in the face.

[Grimpond]

Ugh. Where does the ass-pull end and the magnificent bastard begin? or does it at all =\ "oh, since you were born."
...oh shit! So I guess this might be what urahara was doing? Helping Isshin get there?

[Aerozord]

He does bring up a good point in fighting series though. You say its an ass-pull that he planned it all, but wouldn't it be a bigger one to have this all be a coincidence.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Well I'm happy to see that isshin is going to be fighting soon. I wonder if he has a bankai?

(Forgot rather or not he was a captain before retiring)
