During the battle: Aizen vs. The Gotei 13 & The Visored (Episode 292, 293 and
294), Aizen was stabbed by
[Shinji](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Shinji_Hirako), [Suì-
Fēng](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Su%C3%AC-F%C4%93ng),
[Shunsui](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Shunsui_Ky%C5%8Draku) and
[Hitsugaya](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/T%C5%8Dshir%C5%8D_Hitsugaya).
However, it turned out that
[Hinamori](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Momo_Hinamori) was stabbed due to
Aizen's ability.

To my understanding, Aizen's ability could affect any of the Shinigami in Soul
Society because they all had seen his power before. But Ichigo had not seen it
and that was why he was considered to be such an asset. Aizen implied that he
had been using his ability since he arrived. I would have thought Ichigo would
have seen through the ability from the start.

If Aizen had activated his ability before he arrived, Ichigo should have seen
through it. If he activated after Ichigo arrived, how did Gotei 13 not see
though it earlier?

My questions: when did Aizen activate his ability and switch with Hinamori and
how come it affected Ichigo?

Aizen vs Everyone


The requirement for Kyoka Suigetsu's Kanzen Saimin is that Aizen needs to have
everyone see it released once, that is going from normal form into its shikai
form. After that, whenever Aizen activates it, even if they don't see its
release, they will be affected.

Aizen replied to Hirako Shinji, "Since when are you under the impression that
I'm not using my power?" This means, from the very beginning, he is using it.
It wasn't mentioned since when, but probably ever since he shows up, or during
the time he was trapped inside the firewall made by Head Captain Yamamoto
Genryuusai Shigekuni. One thing for sure is that he activated it before Ichigo
came. That's why, Ichigo wasn't affected by it. Ichigo didn't see the release.
What he saw is its released form already.

Ichigo wasn't affected by it. He was just confused with what he saw, that the
3 captains are stabbing Hinamori.

Adding to the when he switched with Hinamori part, we cannot answer that. We
too as the viewer are under the effect of Kyoka Suigetsu (as in what was shown
to us was from the captains' point of view). Possibly from the very moment
Hinamori was down. That was Aizen faking it while the real Hinamori is still
fighting.
