In Bleach, Aizen had an incredibly complicated plan that seemed to span
decades and that involved a lot of people he had no control over doing what he
wanted them to do? I found it pretty difficult to follow what was going on in
terms of what exactly his plan was. Can someone summarize it for me?

What was Aizen's plan?


Aizen wanted to merge the power of Hollows and Soul Reapers because he wanted
to gain more power as he reached his saturation point of Soul Reaper powers.
For this, he needed the Hogyoku. And he wanted to go to the Soul King Palace.
But Ichigo even surpassed him and failed him.

Yea he used the vicerds (can't spell it) to test the hollowfication and then
his comrades such as kaname tozen. When it was perfected on tozen he used it
on himself because a mere human can't handle the power of the hogyku so he has
to be the best of both worlds or something

Aizen wanted to create the Ouken, the key that opens the door to the Soul King
who rules Soul Society. In order to be able to keep increasing his power he
wanted to merge the powers of Hollows and Soul Reapers, this was his
experiment with the Visoreds. Aizen had made his own version of the Hogyoku to
do this but it was incomplete, he merged it with the one Urahara made and with
that he had the finished one that allowed him to increase his power and become
the ultimate being. Aizen said himself that only Urahara was the only
intellectual challenge he might have had.

Remember though that Aizen had his hypnotic power that allowed him to control
many of those within Soul Society, those he did not control he tricked. He was
able to get many to do his bidding, knowingly or not, only Ichigo was not
under his control since he had never seen the sword release.

Ichigo made a statement after killing Aizen that Aizen was so powerful that
having no equal he felt there was no one to challenge him and was somewhat
lonely; the part about crossing swords where all Ichigo felt was lonliness.
It's possible to look at this as the only one who could be a challenge to
Aizen was the Soul King, so creating the Ouken using Karkura Town would allow
him to open the gateway to where the Soul King lived and possibly fight him
and find an equal.
