The world turned completely upside down in that instant.
In Aizen's vision, Hirako's figure suddenly flipped upside down. Up and down, left and right all reversed, throwing his entire sense of direction into disarray.
"Does it feel strange? It should.
After my Zanpakuto, Sakanade, releases its Shikai, the enemy's up and down, left and right, front and back, the directions they see and the directions slashes come from all reverse in their vision.
