Chapter 1096 Where Is Aizen Sosuke's Sword?
"What is the ability of the flowing water Zanpakuto?"
Kurosaki Ichigo continued to ask.
"You can use the random reflection of fog and water to disrupt the enemy's senses and make them enter the illusion of killing each other."
Yamamoto Shigekuni said calmly.
"I've seen it before, it's true."
"Coupled with his captain-level spiritual pressure, it's a pretty good Zanpakutō."
Kurosaki Ichigo heard what Yamamoto Shigekuni said and already realized what the problem was.
"His Zanpakutō ability is probably not what you call a flowing water Zanpakutō, but an ability similar to illusion."
Kurosaki Ichigo expressed his opinion.
"Illusion?"
Yamamoto Shigekuni didn't think any illusion could deceive him.
"The time of death in Central Room 46 can verify what I said. During this period, it is impossible that no one has met the people in Central Room 46, but none of them noticed anything was wrong."
Kurosaki Ichigo did not argue with Yamamoto Shigekuni, he just cited an empirical evidence.
The time of death of the people in the forty-sixth room in the central room cannot be faked. Aizen Sosuke felt it was troublesome, but it was also his own idea, so he killed them all, and then continued to search for Urahara Kisuke's soul recorded in the Great Spirit Book Corridor. heterogeneous extraction technology.
This period of death is the best proof.
"Even if what you said is true, it doesn't prove that Soyousuke Aizen is behind all of this."
Yamamoto Shigekuni was silent for a while and found a loophole.
"You said Aizen Sosuke is dead, so can you let me see his body?"
Kurosaki Ichigo then put forward a second piece of evidence. Although he has not seen and verified it yet, he is very sure that there is something wrong with the body!
The corpse was transformed into Aizen Soyousuke's Zanpakutō Kyoka Suigetsu, but it is not known when he retrieved his Zanpakutō.
Flowers Through the Looking Glass seems easy to understand, but in fact, if you look closely, you will find many unknown details.
There is also the question of whether Through the Looking Glass can "make something out of nothing".
"Creating something out of nothing" refers to whether Aizen needs a medium to act as a substitute when he activates his hypnotic ability.
In the early stages of the plot, Aizen used "fake death" to implement his conspiracy, hypnotized everyone, and used the Zanpakutō as his "corpse" to divert everyone's attention.
In this plot, it is obvious that Aizen used a medium, which is his own Zanpakutō. What hangs on the sacred wall is not Aizen's corpse, but a Zanpakutō disguised as a corpse.
Moreover, Sister Hua conducted a comprehensive inspection of the "corpse", and for a while, she could not find any flaws.
After Aizen discovered Rukia's whereabouts in this world, the first thing he did was to kill the Forty-sixth Chamber, and then covered the entire Central Underground Council Hall with mirror flowers and water moons, creating the illusion that the Central Forty-sixth Chamber was still alive, and Aizen Ran, Yin and Dongxian kept one of them in the underground meeting hall at all times.
Aizen did not explain whether a medium was used to create this illusion. However, we can simply speculate that Aizen wanted to create a state where the Forty-sixth Room was still alive and having a meeting. Coupled with the vast area covered and the large number of characters, if It would be too far-fetched to complete it out of thin air. Aizen must have used the corpse of Room 46 as a medium to activate Kyoka Suigetsu.
Also, the reason why Aizen and the other three wanted to leave one person in the underground meeting hall was because the remaining person had to issue false orders on behalf of Room 46. Mirror Flowers and Water Moon can only create illusions, and the essence of things will not change.
Therefore, issuing orders requires a real person to do it for you.
After Aizen's conspiracy was revealed, Captain Komamura rushed to the scene, but unexpectedly fell into Kyoka Suigetsu's hypnosis and was killed instantly by Aizen using Kidō.
In the comics, this scene is relatively brief, but we can still see the clues.
First, Komamura descended from the sky, preparing to launch the swastika to capture the bandits. At this moment, Aizen from Komamura's perspective was standing next to Tosen, but when switching to the next screen, Aizen had already appeared in Komamura like a ghost. In front of you.
Note that Aizen who appeared in front of Komamura did not have a sword on his waist, while Aizen who appeared next to Tōsen seemed to disappear like a phantom. Combined with Aizen's way of attacking Komamura, it was Kidō.
The conclusion is that Aizen used the Zanpakutō as a medium to create a substitute (Aizen next to Tosen) to attract Komamura's attention. The real Aizen took the opportunity to approach Komamura. Since the Zanpakutō had already become a substitute, Aizen could only choose Kidō as his attack method.
There is another manifestation of "substitute".
110 years ago, Hirako was still the captain of the fifth division, and Aizen was still the deputy captain. Hirako always felt that Aizen was actually a dangerous person, so he arranged for him to become his deputy captain to monitor Aizen's movements.
But Aizen would not let anyone else do it. He found another Shinigami, disguised himself as himself, and successfully escaped Hirako's surveillance.
Here Aizen also obviously used a medium, that is, "another Shinigami" acted as himself. As mentioned before, Kyoka Suigetsu can only create an illusion that is infinitely close to the "real (Aizen)", but it is actually used as a substitute. The substance itself does not change, which means that there is an upper limit to complete hypnosis.
Therefore, Aizen did not use the Zanpakutō as a medium, because no matter how realistic the illusion was, the sword was still a sword, and over time, flaws would inevitably be revealed.
So Aizen arranged for "a living person", and the person (substitute) who replaced Aizen had already memorized Aizen's usual behavior pattern, so he could successfully deceive Hirako.
However, there are still disadvantages. If the target of deception knows Aizen very well, then no matter how much the stand's words and deeds resemble Aizen, after all, it is not Aizen himself, and will be discovered sooner or later.
There is another key point. Mirror Flower Water Moon can not only create illusions, but also make up for the shortcomings of illusions by itself, and make the most of the target's existing cognition to complete the authenticity of hypnosis.
For example, Aizen has never seen Renji's Double King Snake Tail Pill form, but when fighting Youha, the scene of the Double King Snake Tail Pill Renji was presented to Youha.
Combining the analysis of the above scenes, we can summarize and deduce the detailed explanation of Mirror Flower Water Moon's ability: ① Mirror Flower Water Moon needs a "ritual" for the first activation, through Aizen holding the blade high, and then the blade tip is vertically downward to hypnotize the target.
② Mirror Flower Water Moon can indeed "create something out of nothing", without the help of a medium, directly create an illusion. Or, no matter how small the substance is, it can become a medium.
③ At certain special moments, the medium is necessary, otherwise it is easy to reveal flaws.
④ The illusion created by the mirror flower and water moon has a repair function, which can use the target's cognition to supplement the falseness of the illusion.
⑤ The mirror flower and water moon can achieve a "range illusion". Within the specified range, everything you see is an illusion.
