Didn't Aizen say Isshin was stronger than him without the Hogyoku?indeed. I only got to re-appreciate his character after seeing the EP 12 of TYBW. I wonder how strong he is as compared to the other top tier captains. I assume above or slightly above Hirako or maybe equal to Urahara. I always see those three as nearly equals in terms of strength and they are all slightly below Kyoraku.
