Bleach Volume 46

Although Ichigo's attack wounds him, Aizen reveals that he fused the Hōgyoku into his body as it heals his injuries. Aizen then presents a revelation that all of Ichigo's fights since meeting Rukia have all been arranged by him that he had known long about since he was born. But before Aizen could reveal Ichigo's true nature, Isshin intervenes. After putting some distance along with Ichigo from Aizen, Isshin tries to tell his son that he will reveal what Aizen was about to tell him, but Ichigo tells him that there is no need for that. As Ichigo deals with Gin and his bankai Kamishini no Yari, Isshin faces Aizen as the latter begins to transform while explaining that the Hōgyoku's true power is granting the wish of its possessor. Even with Urahara and Yoruichi joining Isshin, their efforts are ineffective as Aizen continues to slowly evolve. Meanwhile, s wounded Rangiku is running towards Gin.
