Bleach: Aizen's Kurohitsugi, Explained

Key Takeaways

  • Aizen’s return in Bleach episode 31 showcases his immense power, using Hado 90 to obliterate the Soul King’s torrents easily.
  • Kidou spells like Hado and Bakudo are key skills for Shinigami, with Hado 90 being a top-level, devastating spell.
  • Aizen’s Kurohitsugi is the most powerful Kidou spell known, capable of annihilation with immense strength, even when restrained.

As a seasoned Bleach fanatic with over a decade of following this captivating series, I must say that the return of Sousuke Aizen in episode 31 of the Thousand-Year Blood War was nothing short of electrifying! The sheer power he exhibited using Hado 90: Kurohitsugi left me utterly awestruck. It’s not every day you witness a character obliterate the Soul King’s torrents with such ease, is it?

In the 31st episode of Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War, a beloved character by fans, Sousuke Aizen, makes his reappearance. The Gotei 13 are engaged in a fierce battle against the might of the Soul King’s power, but Aizen steps in to aid them, albeit unwillingly against dark forces. Despite being confined for two years and bound in a potent chair, Aizen has significantly increased his powers. Remarkably, he doesn’t employ his well-known Zanpakutou, Kyouka Suigetsu, but instead demonstrates mastery over his most recognized Kidou spell: Hado 90: Kurohitsugi.

As a devoted fan, I’d put it this way: In a bold display of my mastery over spiritual energy, I, Aizen, construct a colossal black container. This potent artifact swiftly absorbs the Torrents of the Soul King’s power, along with a substantial chunk of Seireitei. The spell, requiring neither an incantation nor elaborate setup, is the pinnacle of Kidou in the captivating world of Bleach.

What are Kidou Spells?

A Shinigami’s Secondary Power System

Kidou or Demon Arts is a form of Shinigami combat that consists of advanced spells with many different effects. They are divided into two categories: Hadou, spells used for direct combat which are usually offense-focused. And Bakudo, which are support spells that range in use depending on the situation. Kidou is taught at the Shinigami Academy as one of the primary combat skills in the Zankensoki. Many Shinigami who don’t excel at conventional physical combat using their Zanpakutou are proficient in this area. Such is the case for Nanao Ise or Momo Hinamori.

The majority of commanders within the Gotei 13 squad are proficient in using energy-based techniques known as Kidou, although only a select few utilize them during battles. Those who have mastered these techniques belong to the legendary Kidou Corps – an elite group of Shinigami skilled across all aspects of this combat discipline. Prior to his exile to the mortal realm, Tessai Tsukabishi served as the commander of the Corps under Kisuke Urahara’s leadership in the Soul Society. Hachigen Ushouda, one of the Vizoreds, held the position of Vice-Commander within the Kidou Corps.

Hado 90: Kurohitsugi, A Devastating Kidou

Aizen’s Favorite Spell

In the thrilling series I adore, Hado 90: Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin), is a mighty spell, often wielded by the masterful Sousuke Aizen. As a user, I summon a gargantuan wave of violet energy that encases the enemy in an impenetrable gravitational field, morphing into a colossal black box. This menacing container is adorned with numerous spike-like projections that mercilessly shred the target from head to toe. Mastery of this spell requires immense skill even among Kidou experts. Intriguingly, Aizen could initially unleash only one-third of its full potential without an incantation. Aizen first demonstrated this terrifying attack during the Soul Society arc against Captain Sajin Komamura. Later, he employed it against Ichigo Kurosaki, a character who, due to his extraordinary form, effortlessly deflects it.

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: “I’ve got a secret move up my sleeve, one that could tear apart the very fabric of reality if used correctly. With the power I’ve gained by merging with Hogyouku, I can unleash a Kurohitsugi so powerful, it would obliterate the Soul King’s torrent and a vast swath of the landscape. And here’s the kicker: I can perform this devastating attack even while under restraints and with my spiritual pressure diminished.

In the world of Bleach, Aizen’s Kurohitsugi is the mightiest Kidou spell yet witnessed. The force of the Soul King’s Torrent left the Gotei 13 reeling, but Aizen annihilated it with just his spiritual pressure and this remarkable spell. Although Captain Kyoraku’s choice to seek aid from Aizen has been criticized by his comrades, having an ally of such divine power could tip the scales in their fight against the Quincy.
