Aizen's Bankai reveal from Bleach could do what Gear 5 from One Piece failed to

Everyone marveled at how Aizen from Bleach, who later rose to prominence as one of the most likable antagonists, could play Gotei 13 like an ace with his brilliant intellect, endearing personality, and cunning abilities. Even more impressive fact about Aizen was that he didn't need his Bankai to defeat anyone; instead, he used his Shikai, Kyouka Suigetsu, to take over every Bleach character.

However, what if Aizen had a Bankai? On X (formerly Twitter), a user by the handle @DakuKurosaki recently stated that the inclusion of Aizen's Bankai in Bleach TYBW would cause the internet to crash more severely than Gear 5 could ever imagine. The tweet went viral as soon as it was posted, and followers of both the Bleach and One Piece television series flocked to the comments section.

Fans would love to see Aizen's Bankai in the Bleach anime series

Aizen is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable and potent characters. According to the anime series, Sosuke Aizen betrayed the Soul Society to become powerful and depose the Soul King. However, Ichigo stood in his way and thwarted his plan.

Aizen's role didn't come to an end with his defeat. Instead, as Bleach TYBW got underway, viewers were able to see Aizen and his godly abilities, as well as how easily he was able to influence Yhwach's perception of time. However, even after so many years of Bleach, fans of the series are still unaware of Aizen's Bankai.

As stated earlier, @DakuKurosaki posted a tweet stating that if Bleach TYBW showed Aizen's Bankai, it would cause more internet disruption than Luffy's Gear 5 from One Piece could have imagined. As One Piece fans are aware, Luffy's Gear 5 recently made its debut, and as soon as it did, it completely crashed the internet. However, many other anime fans believed this was not the case and that Gear 5 could not crash the internet.

One user claimed that Aizen accomplished a lot using only his Shikai, so if he chooses to use his Bankai, he may be able to defeat Yhwach. Another netizen wrote that the internet would go into shock if Aizen's bankai were to be revealed in the anime adaptation.

Not only that, but another person added that the Bankai is not revealed in the manga, in any databooks, or in light novels, and if it were in the anime, everyone would go crazy.

Furthermore, users claimed that even though it is unlikely that the Bankai will appear, if it does, it will be completely unexpected and, unlike the Gear 5, no one has ever seen it, so it will completely go viral. Another user concurred that even One Piece fans might want to watch it.

These weren't the only responses netizens had, though. According to one user, saying "break the internet" would make them appear to be the "annoying fans." While another user stated that if the anime were available on Crunchyroll, it might be able to bring down the internet, but the fact that it is available on Disney+ makes this less likely.

These weren't the only responses. Here are some additional mixed fan reactions:

Since the tweet went out, many fans have wanted to see Aizen's Bankai. Furthermore, it is said that Kubo will be adding extra scenes for a few characters. For fans, it would be exciting if Aizen were also included on that list.

However, if Aizen's bankai were ever revealed in the anime, it might cause the internet to crash. Until then, fans can enjoy the upcoming Bleach TYBW episodes and look forward to the action when Captain Commander Shunsui Kyoraku frees Aizen from Muken.
