He returned to the brothel, this time with only one purpose: to take his beloved woman home.

Seeing that the man had brought so much money, Aoko happily accepted it and promised that they would leave this place together in three days. The man felt that all the hardships he had endured over the years had not been in vain, and that his spring was finally coming. These three days were the most difficult three days of his life.

He wanted to take the woman he loved most home.

Give her the warmest and happiest life.

Three days later.

The man saw Aoko wearing a beautiful wedding dress, marrying a local nobleman as a concubine.

"Money? You love me, don't you? Keep this money for my dowry. If you understand, get out of here right now. I've endured so many years just to marry into a noble family and become someone of high status! What? Love? What's love worth? Disappear from my sight right now, or my husband won't let you off the hook." Aoko looked at him as if he were a stray dog. "How could I possibly marry a notorious assassin? What do you have to offer me the happiness I want?"

The beautiful dream has finally shattered.

All sounds faded from his mind.

Filled with desperate the Rage, the man finally drew his sword, but even at this point, he did not point the blade at his former lover; he wanted to kill the nobleman who had taken her away.

But what awaited him was a hail of arrows and heavily armored warriors.

Only when he was riddled with arrows did he realize that he couldn't change anything with the sword in his hand.

In his final moments, he watched as Aoko threw herself into the nobleman's arms, unwilling to even glance at him.

At that moment, he finally understood.

I'm a fucking idiot!

Why should I let a woman like that ruin my life?

If he had another chance, he would kill all those bastards.

Leave none behind.

In extreme despair, the man's soul underwent a radical transformation, turning him into a terrifying monster.

He devoured the archers who had riddled him with arrows, and ripped off the heads of the heavily armored warriors one by one. Seeing the nobleman wet his pants in terror, the man was overjoyed. So this is what a so-called noble is like!

The nobles even sent their own Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) into battle.

How could these half-baked guys possibly withstand a real illusion?

It was torn in half and carelessly tossed on the ground.

The nobleman had long lost his former haughty demeanor; he lay on the ground like a dog, begging the man to spare his life, even offering to give up all his wealth.

The man grabbed his neck and slowly pulled his head out of his neck, watching the blood splatter everywhere, the man felt a sense of satisfaction.

Finally, he stood before the woman.

Aoko couldn't see the void at all, but she vaguely knew who had done these things. She kept pleading with the air, saying she would do anything as long as they let her go.

He would even be willing to be a slave.

"Jiro, please let me go! I know you still love me deep down. Let's go home together." Aoko trembled.

The man was surprised that Aoko still remembered his name.

He stretched out his paw and gently stroked Aoko's face.

"If only you had called me by my name sooner! We wouldn't have ended up like this."

In an instant, the claws snapped shut.

Aoko's head was crushed into a rotten watermelon.

Having severed the last vestiges of longing in this world, the man felt his soul had been transcended, but... but why did his heart still ache so much? Why!!!

Aizen smiled slightly, "That's a touching story, but I advise you not to get so carried away when you're fighting the enemy next time. By the way, there won't be a next time!"

Aizen gripped his Zanpakuto with both hands and plunged it into the Hollow's chest.

Chapter 19: If he didn't act recklessly when things were going well, would he still Aizen?

"You... how did you get here? And... didn't you lose your sword?" Xu stared at the boy in front of him in horror.

Aizen smiled gently, "Are all you Hollows so easily fooled? How could you drop your sword in battle? I only dropped the scabbard! It's just that the surroundings were too dark, so you couldn't see clearly at all. The real Zanpakuto was actually hidden in my hand the whole time. Besides, a direct confrontation with you would be too risky, so I thought of a way to distract you and launch a sneak attack. I didn't even expect you to be so gullible."

"Are you guys in the Aizen's lips curled up slightly, a hint of pleasure on his face, as he calmly and unhurriedly explained his plan.

Then, Aizen suddenly pulled out his sword and kicked the Hollow in the stomach, sending the Hollow tumbling and scrambling several meters away.

Aizen flicked the blood off his sword, his eyes coldly fixed on the Hollow: "Do you have any last words? I will convey them."

Hollow glared fiercely at Aizen, his eyes practically spitting fire. This seemingly gentle kid could lie without batting an eye; didn't his eyes get tired?

"Damn it, I'm badly injured." Xu slowly retreated.

If he had attacked with all his might from the beginning, he might not have lost to Aizen at this stage. After all, even a tiger cub that is only half a month old can't beat its keeper.

Moreover, he is not Menos Grande yet, and has not awakened the ability of Super Regeneration.

Now there's only one option left: escape.

"You're not thinking of running away, are you?" Aizen approached step by step, sword in hand, seeing right through the other's thoughts. "Do you think you still have a chance to escape?"

Xu clutched her stomach tightly. "How will I know if I don't try?"

The next second, Xu Qiang, enduring the excruciating pain in his stomach, suddenly retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

"If you get away like this, I won't be able to explain it to the Old Man." Aizen lightly tapped his toes and immediately gave chase.

Miss Ryuko finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she wouldn't die tonight. But... could you please put me down?

I don't want to be tied up here all night.

It was pitch black all around, and neither of them could see the other, but Aizen was able to pinpoint the other's location with his Reiatsu perception, which he had developed through previous training.

At first, when Yamabuki Chidori asked him to catch mice, Aizen thought the Old Man was just teasing him, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.

It was only then that Aizen realized that nothing he had learned from his Teacher was superfluous.

"You're still struggling despite your severe injuries, which is commendable, but unfortunately, you can't escape my grasp." Aizen narrowed his eyes, and suddenly Zanpakuto forward. The silver blade flashed into the darkness, followed by a shrill scream.

Aizen quickly landed on the ground, took out a tinderbox from his pocket, and saw that the Hollow was already pinned to the ground by his Zanpakuto.

"Do you have any last words? I can pass them on for you." Aizen walked over smugly. In his view, the outcome was already decided, and there was no need for any precautions.

But just as he drew his Zanpakuto, he realized something was wrong; the Zanpakuto a Hollow at all, but rather the skin of a toad.

Aizen instantly became alert.

But what awaited him was a swift and devastating attack, like a false alarm.

"Boom!!!"

The Hollow's tongue flew over like a meteor hammer and struck Aizen directly.

Aizen never imagined that this person would use such a method to scheme against him.

Blood was flowing from his mouth, two ribs were broken, and his left hand appeared to be fractured as well, making it impossible for him to move. Oh no.

"Kid, you got cocky after just gaining a slight advantage. You were too careless!" Hollow emerged arrogantly from the darkness. "I am indeed injured, but not seriously. Hollows have a completely different body structure than Shinigami. You underestimated me."

Aizen's expression was grave. Indeed, he had let his guard down after his first successful sneak attack.

If one remains vigilant, it is impossible for someone to launch a successful sneak attack so easily.

"Kid, I want to hear your story now. Tell me," Xu said with a sinister grin.

Aizen inwardly cried out in alarm. What had his Teacher taught him before? When you're at a disadvantage, you have to consider the timing, location, and the people around you.

In this situation... none of them apply.

Am I going to die here?

"Speak! Kid, what's your story? If you don't have one, then you can die!" Hollow's tongue gathered its strength and flew over like a meteor hammer.

Aizen barely dodged the attack, but this tongue could not only attack in a straight line, but also turn like a whip. In an instant, the tongue wrapped around Aizen's body and brought him in front of the Hollow.

"Boy, do you have any last words? I'll deliver them." A sinister smile was plastered on Xu's face.

"If only someone could come and save me right now," Aizen said bitterly.

I wasn't afraid, but I was a little resentful that I had died at the hands of such a despicable person.

"In that case, farewell!" It opened its gaping maw and took a bite without hesitation.

Blood splattered.

Aizen clearly saw the Hollow's head fly off.

He was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized who had saved him.

"Failed." Yamabuki Chidori's voice came through.

Because it was completely dark around him, Aizen couldn't see Yamabuki Chidori's figure. Suddenly, he felt something appear in front of him, followed by a burning pain on his forehead, as if he had been flicked hard by something.

"Teacher?" Aizen asked.

"Sigh... I was right after all." Yamabuki Chidori looked at her disciple with a helpless expression.

Aizen has a very serious flaw in his personality: he tends to get cocky once he gains the upper hand in a battle.

Of course, many people have this kind of personality weakness.

The most obvious example is in the battles against Kisuke Urahara, Isshin Kurosaki, Shihōin Yoruichi.

When his own strength far surpassed that of these three people, Aizen began to lower his guard and act recklessly.

This allowed Kisuke Urahara to implant Kidō into Aizen's body, which ultimately led to his defeat.

Not only that, during the battle against Captain Commander Yamamoto, he successfully sealed Ryūjin Jakka using the Prince of Fire Extinguishment, severely injuring the Captain Commander. Despite having the upper hand, he was ambushed by the Captain Commander's One Blade Incineration at the last moment. That was the first time he showed a weakness in the entire battle, and he was solidly slashed by Kurosaki Ichigo, although it was of little use.

Chapter Twenty: I'll Let You Be Wild

Aizen's defeat in Karakura Town was mainly due to two people.

One is Kurosaki Ichigo, and the other is Kisuke Urahara.

Aizen underestimated Kurosaki Ichigo's potential as the protagonist and Kisuke Urahara, watching helplessly as countless opportunities for victory slipped through his fingers.

After the entire Gotei 13 was defeated, Isshin Kurosaki, Kisuke Urahara, and Shihōin Yoruichi took turns appearing on the scene.

During the Form One, the three of them working together could barely put up a fight against Aizen, but it was clear that they were no longer able to inflict any damage.

Immediately, Aizen entered his Form Two state, relentlessly crushing the three of them to the ground.

If Aizen had been a little more ruthless at this point and had simply killed Kisuke Urahara, the ending would have taken a completely different turn.

Secondly, he underestimated Kurosaki Ichigo's potential for growth.

Having easily defeated Isshin Kurosaki and his two companions, Aizen felt invincible. He didn't take Kurosaki Ichigo, who only had the strength of Captain, seriously at all, and even gave the protagonist enough time to grow.

Family members, does anyone understand?

Who would have thought there was such an overpowered skill as "Mugetsu"?

However, Aizen should be considered the winner of the initial battle between Aizen and Mugetsu Ichigo. After being severely injured by Mugetsu, Aizen did not stop his evolution. His Zanpakuto began to crack and merge with him, reaching a higher level.

In contrast, Kurosaki Ichigo became exhausted after unleashing a powerful strike.

but...

Who would have thought that Kisuke Urahara, the sixth brother, would step forward at this moment and unleash a Sealing Technique that was absolutely brilliant?

Yamabuki Chidori couldn't help but laugh at the thought of what her apprentice would face in the future.

If we analyze this from the perspective of a comic book reader, it's highly likely that everything that happened was a plot device orchestrated by the author.

However, if we apply this to the manga, Aizen's defeat was entirely his own doing.

As soon as they gain the slightest advantage, they'll start acting recklessly.

This is how it is when facing Kurosaki Ichigo, this is how it is when facing Captain Commander Yamamoto, this is how it is when facing Kisuke Urahara, and this is still how it is when facing Yhwach.

In the final Thousand-Year Blood War, after he and Kurosaki Ichigo first cooperated to kill Yhwach, judging from the expression on his face, he had completely relaxed his guard, dispelled the Kyōka Suigetsu, and even turned his back to Yhwach's corpse. As a result, he was ambushed and killed by the resurrected Yhwach.

This shows that the kid didn't learn any lesson from beginning to end, and deserved to be beaten.

"Come here!" Yamabuki Chidori beckoned to Aizen with her finger.

Aizen, clutching his broken ribs and arm, limped over, Yamabuki Chidori healed his wounds.
