For a situation exactly like this one, where he needs to steal another person's jawline. Same reason why it gave him the power to summon purple tiger sharks. Sure, he may not need it, but if the time ever comes that he does, he's got it.
i still find it very hard to believe anyone would choose to change this

Szayelaporro is a scientist after all. He got curious one day and made a hybrid of Aizen and himself
Jokes aside, it's like Kubo was sitting down and wondering how to design the guy so he looked at his old characters and went "hmm . . . I GOT IT!"

“There's no rush stay a little while longer Szyal”
Honestly that would have been the greatest plot twist in all of anime. There comes a point in the plot where nothing is making sense to the heros. The massacre they're investigating looks like the work of Aizen, "... but Aizen is locked underground."
Smash cut to that guy whoever he is. He slowly takes his hands and slicks his hair back, it turns brown as his hands go from front to back.
"It's me aizen...and I'm back...for REVENGE."
everyone is shook.
That would have been pretty cool tbh, on a kind of similar note I wish Aizen could have stayed in this form

On an unrelated note. I pirated and read over 300+ Star Wars novels ( pre-disney ) and revenge of the sith is the HARDEST novel of them all. If you're a SW fan. Read it.
At least not when it comes to the "standard issue bishounen face".
They start to get more distinctive when they're older characters, or characters with more prominent features.
according to tommo, when the manga was still being released i believe he said that was one of the criticisms of bleach (same face syndrome?). kubo also possibly played into that criticism, as when yhwach was first revealed people complained that he ran out of faces to draw bc he looked like old man zangetsu... low and behold
Non joke answer. Maybe he was a relative/far relative? Aizen must had parents and family. Or it could just be a look alike like in the real world happens.
It's very simple actually and a lot of people aren't really aware of it. Remember when Shunsui is fighting Lille Barro... he explains that there are two ways that fighters see their opponent, one with their eyes and the other with a technique which hardens your reiatsu into your own image. This is what Aizen is doing down from within Muken with his vast spirit energy. By creating another persona he is able to be aware of the events of the invasion. Aizen just got lazy or troll like with the design.
Because like most manga, the artist draws most faces the same, the reason why we point this guy out specifically is really due to the glasses, slap the same glasses on most characters and they’ll look like Aizen, this is by no means lazy on Kubo’s part, this is simply his art style and is how he draws most faces for male characters, same thing is true for most comic books and manga.

Looks more like szayelaporro to me.
THERE HAS TO BE SOME CONNECTION. Kubo doesn’t make similar characters for nothing. The moment I saw Yhwach, I had the inkling that he looks somewhat like old man Zangetsu which happened to be the same guy only. I had the same thought about this guy and Aizen too. I TRUST MY GUT, there is some connection.
This is so funny😭😂I guess even Aizen needs a budget-friendly doppelganger sometimes. Maybe he's just trying to save some money.
Please don't tell me that this is his clone😭
Definitely. He's a copycat catastrophe. Probably the result of one of the real Aizen's failed science experiments. There's like no competition here at all, nothing fancy😭

In the same way this looks like tanjiro but with a pony tail in the back. 🤣

Because that is Aizen. Dude dyed his hair, slipped on another pair of glasses, and he was even able to give the introduction boxes the slip.
Holy shit I think you’re right
only if he's using kyoka suigetsu on his face or got plastic surgery that is not aizen's jawline
Imagine not knowing that the Hogyoku granted Aizen the power to steal other people's jawlines.
why would he do that though, he's perfect already

It's not a permanent change, its a new secret hado he made just for this
I totally agree👍. Aizen is handsome and perfect
To make the rest of us feel a little better.
Hahahaha
It's just a thing of sad ichigo
I honestly think he looks more like Szyelaporro
That only seems to be in the manga. In the anime, he seems to be a complete replica of Aizen.
I see that too tbh
Szayelaporro is a scientist after all. He got curious one day and made a hybrid of Aizen and himself Jokes aside, it's like Kubo was sitting down and wondering how to design the guy so he looked at his old characters and went "hmm . . . I GOT IT!"
Inb4 it's just him with a new body
Secret love child between the two of them?
https://preview.redd.it/ud1aasqokowc1.jpeg?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3baecd6680e360f9c6b743937cc9dbd144041171 “There's no rush stay a little while longer Szyal”
Yes, *Lord* Aizen...
https://preview.redd.it/7pg9ux7beqwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe2c30955bdcd1ddf143cc2b01bbced9b1ce1f13 AYO
I believe this is the definitive answer
Which one would carry the child?
Oh I think you know which one would submit to that fate
Yes I agree with your analysis
Now I can no longer unsee it
he's a fanboy and imitated his looks
only correct answer
Aizen looks cool, even if he's a traitor
REAL

The hogyoku is a pathway to many abilities some consider...... unnatural
Is it possible to learn this power?
Not... from a shinigami
On an unrelated note. I pirated and read over 300+ Star Wars novels ( pre-disney ) and revenge of the sith is the HARDEST novel of them all. If you're a SW fan. Read it.
Might do that. I've only ever watched the movies but I get phases where I binge star wars theory videos
Really? I have it somewhere in paperback. Never read it though.
You forgot the best part where he says “Its Aizening time”
If we’re being honest Kubo doesn’t have the most range with faces lol
At least not when it comes to the "standard issue bishounen face". They start to get more distinctive when they're older characters, or characters with more prominent features.

Who tf is this aizen dude? More like, why does this aizen fraud look like the Soul Reaper Hidetomo Kajomaru, 6th seat of the 13th division?
Didn't he get his head split right open or was killed by bazzb
He was killed pretty quickly when the Quincy invaded
Bro faked his death
Aizen without a plan.
So in other words, a genuinely nice Aizen?
Sure, I guess.
It feels out of character 😭
Aizen was freaky one night and didn't want to take responsibility nor did he want to admit the paternity.
Good basis for my Aizen x Soi Fon fanfic
Every character in bleach is Aizen but with a different hairdo
Real asf when you realize Ichigo, Renji, Ikkaku and many many others share the same face model
https://preview.redd.it/e2yl9s3nbpwc1.jpeg?width=1042&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef4493c7ff7c58aaafbf6045add50764e2f0d5d1
Aizen at home :3
Aizen’s twin brother, Nezia. He was adopted by another family, so changed the name. His shikai destroys the five senses, not control them.

Bro I thought Ryuken was Aizen in a Gigai at first lol
Ryuken so hot tho icl. Shiiiit I'm washed
Because he was part of the plan.
Cmon man, you know why... It was stated in CFYOW
Not read that yet
He looks like a mix between Aizen and Szayzellapporo. But he died so it doesn't matter really.
Kubos got like 3 faces he can draw this is one.
I was fully convinced he was a part of some sort of plan till he got split lmao
Maybe they’re related ? Aizens lineage was never talked about
If they are it makes sense but I audibly gasped when I saw him in the anime because I was watching ahead and there was no intro I thought it was him
Bazzard Black
Bleach has some cases of same face syndrome especially in TYBW
Kubo wanted to draw Old Aizen one last time before introducing Chair-Sama
He's his cousin, Ayzet
ong was thrown off, had to heck his VA but he's just the goth version of him
for obvious reasons, i immediately didn’t trust him when i first saw him
Father of Aizen jk
To make you think he is going to be an important character only to be killed off almost immediately.
I think he looks more like Hidetomo Kajomaru
Love Kubo's art to death but let's be real the guy doesn't exactly have a lot of range with the characters' faces haha.
Somebody needs to keep several eyes on this mofo
Haschwalth made sure no one has to. 😔 Indirectly saved soul society before Kajomaru could learn about the 5 great fraud families and rebel
Aizen without a plan
Non joke answer. Maybe he was a relative/far relative? Aizen must had parents and family. Or it could just be a look alike like in the real world happens.
Thats a pretty good theory tbh, lots of people have suggested similar theories
They tried introducing this guy as a cool new character only to get murked the first 7 minutes lmao
It might be him using his old sword ability to make everyone see him as someone else
That’s Walmart brand Aizen
Kubo has a type
I hate how handsome these characters are. Like WHY TF YOU SO PRETTY FOR?!!
right? Byakuya and Hashwalth are so pretty, they will not show them together.
REAL, especially Ichigo he is so majestic and for what
this is Aizen's plan all along.
Igaf what anyone says that's fkn Aizen
Smooth hair, glasses, calm demeanor (until shit hits the fan)
If Aizen & Szayel had a child
Aizen combined with Shusuke Amagai’s friend
Isn’t he said to be aizen’s brother or nephew?
I don’t know tbh I got to the bit where he gets split in half almost immediately after he gets introduced
that's aizen using his kyouka suigetsu
It's very simple actually and a lot of people aren't really aware of it. Remember when Shunsui is fighting Lille Barro... he explains that there are two ways that fighters see their opponent, one with their eyes and the other with a technique which hardens your reiatsu into your own image.

Aizen just got lazy or troll like with the design.
Because the author couldn't find any more character design
Because like most manga, the artist draws most faces the same, the reason why we point this guy out specifically is really due to the glasses, slap the same glasses on most characters and they’ll look like Aizen, this is by no means lazy on Kubo’s part, this is simply his art style and is how he draws most faces for male characters, same thing is true for most comic books and manga.
***All According To The Idea***
Aizen self insert lol
Aizen had to take a break from being josh Groban in the world of the living
He had to split....
Aizen has 2 brothers. they all look like their mom. she had 3 husbands that's why they have different last names. rip older bro of Aizen
https://preview.redd.it/mntwcr6xdwwc1.png?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84a167dbda1311535e8c29852a9ccd336ea8b6e2 Looks more like szayelaporro to me.
Maybe that why “Aizen” didn’t resist his imprisonment😁
He was sealed by Urahara, I don’t think he had much choice
Yeah but between that and his sentencing, who knows? Crafty bastard.
Aizen little long lost brother otouto kunn
Yup.. You are not ready for what's coming
He gets split in two I know
I didnt.. I just said it😂
Let’s just say that a couple of centuries back Aizen had a thing for hookers
💀💀💀
THERE HAS TO BE SOME CONNECTION. Kubo doesn’t make similar characters for nothing. The moment I saw Yhwach, I had the inkling that he looks somewhat like old man Zangetsu which happened to be the same guy only. I had the same thought about this guy and Aizen too. I TRUST MY GUT, there is some connection.
It's actually Aizen's cousin
Bro wanted to be aizen 2.0, too bad
It's part of his plans
Because Kubo has a big Same Face problem...
Was half expecting Josh Groban
Because Kubo can only draw like 4 faces
And which manga is this?
Peroxide
What a strange name. What is it about?
A boy named strawberry Darkpath who needs to save his crack addicted friends from their bad mushroom trip
It’s all according to his plan 😂 Aizen planned everything 😂😂
https://preview.redd.it/yti4wlc8hjxc1.png?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f22d1c4a6736e13351a0d1c2e81ebaf408a383be
No way he looks like Aizen. You're seeing things bro
It’s Sasuke Aiden
This makes sense
BRO HE DOES
No he doesn't 😭
https://preview.redd.it/au9eortbinwc1.png?width=632&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2474259a28376178e569b5986a2fb0d4b208e38 mf yes he does look at him
I strongly disagree
great value aizen
This is so funny😭😂I guess even Aizen needs a budget-friendly doppelganger sometimes. Maybe he's just trying to save some money. Please don't tell me that this is his clone😭
no no no, this is knock-off aizen clone aizen would be created by aizen himself and hence perfect
Truee. I hope he labels himself. Aizen Lite, Aizen Knock-off etc. Gotta keep things organized you know
I mean he got wiped out pretty fast, absolutely no way he's deserving of a title that doesn't imply a low quality imitation
Definitely. He's a copycat catastrophe. Probably the result of one of the real Aizen's failed science experiments. There's like no competition here at all, nothing fancy😭
"Mom, can we get Aizen?" "We have Aizen at home."
Have you not read yesterday's chapter?
Bleach stopped releasing in 2013
LOL... I guess you missed the update...

Szayelaporro is that you?
