In Bleach, Aizen's sword is claimed to be one of the most powerful, as it can
control the human senses. As I remember, it was said that if you have seen it
once, you've already lost to it. Can someone explain to me exactly what it
does?

How does Aizen's sword work?


I haven't seen the entire series or read the manga, but from what he said
before he fleed the Soul Society, it was apparently absolute hypnosis. Take
this as an example:

When Ichigo attacked Aizen, he had already seen Aizen's sword, so Aizen's
Zanpakuto could use the hypnosis "Aizen blocks Ichigo's attack instantly with
one finger, and no one sees Aizen's counter attack"

As for how he could use hypnosis like that, maybe Aizen's Zanpakuto warped
space (like how Touzen's Zanpakuto did when he was fighting Kenpachi) and
created a space that robbed all senses, but because of the hypnosis, no one
actually saw it, as Ohana even commented that Aizen previously showed everyone
that his Zanpakuto was a water-based one, and she was shocked when Aizen
revealed that he did it on purpose to fool everyone and to make them victims
of his Zanpakuto.

First off, Aizen is a genius of nearly unmatched brilliance for most of his
entire plan. One can say that he made some bad choices later in his plan
concerning his treatment of underlings, the showdown with the Soul Society,
and giving Ichigo a chance. However, that's more of an issue of character
flaws than him not being a genius.

The ability that Aizen uses is not his Bankai, but rather his Shikai, all
according to him of course. One falls under the hypnosis when one sees his
sword as he releases its Shikai by speaking its name. The hypnosis apparently
lasts forever after you have seen it once, given the fact that it lasted 100
years on several other Soul Reapers.

> The special ability of Kyōka Suigetsu is Kanzen Saimin (完全催眠, Complete
> Hypnosis).

It controls the five senses to the point where it can make the target
misinterpret another person's form, shape, mass, feel, and smell to be an
enemy's. The initiation condition for the hypnosis is to show the enemy the
release of Kyōka Suigetsu. After seeing it just once, this person will
completely succumb to the hypnosis. Afterwards, every time it is released,
this person will fall under the thrall of the hypnosis. The hypnosis is long
lasting; the Visored are still affected by Kyōka Suigetsu even though they
were hypnotized at least 110 years ago. Because the spell works when one see
the ritual, those who cannot see are consequently immune to the hypnosis.

When Aizen turns off the hypnosis by force of will, the image shown melts away
or shatters. The complete hypnosis of Kyōka Suigetsu is absolutely flawless;
even if the target is aware of being under the hypnosis, they cannot resist
its influence. The hypnotic abilities of Kyōka Suigetsu make it a highly
useful tool in combat, for Aizen can create simple or complex illusions to
deceive his opponents.

For example, by creating a decoy of himself, or other illusions to distract
his opponents, Aizen can hide his own movements and attack with impunity. His
opponent will remain focused on the illusion until it is too late to
react.While the illusions Kyōka Suigetsu creates are quite powerful, those
with considerable power and skill themselves may be able to note slight
differences in the illusions compared to the real thing, even if they are not
able to determine what exactly is different.

4th Division Captain Retsu Unohana detected something was amiss with Aizen's
fake corpse, even though she did not realize what it was until seeing Aizen
alive.The Reiatsu of Kyōka Suigetsu gives it away to those keen enough to
sense its actual presence past the illusions created by its complete
hypnosis.The sole way to escape the ability of Kyōka Suigetsu is to touch the
blade itself before complete hypnosis is activated.
