Old man Yama enters the fray.I'm Extinguir, the Extinguisher of fires!Summary:Aizen cuts down Hitsugaya and the other shinigamis/Vizards but does not kill them. Instead, Aizen wants his fallen enemies to watch the outcome of the battle. Now that Aizen is done with Hitsugaya's group, Yamamoto appears in a blaze of fire to confront Aizen. Aizen taunts Yamamoto for a bit and then quickly stabs Yamamoto in the stomach, but Yamamoto grabs Aizen's arm and verifies that he has grabbed the real Aizen by the reiatsu from the sword in his stomach. Holding onto Aizen, Yamamoto activates Ennetsu Jigoku which sees giant columns of fire sprouting up and surrounding himself and Aizen. Yamamoto plans to use this attack to take Aizen out and doesn't care if himself or any of the other shinigamis or Vizards are caught. Yamammoto is about to strike, but Wonderweiss (in his true form) suddenly appears behind the squad 1 captain. Yamamoto swings at Wonderweiss with his zanpukto, but Wonderweiss somehow wards off the flames and Yamamoto is forces to dodge. With Yamamoto wondering what's going on, Aizen explains that Wonderweiss was especially made to counter Yamamoto's powerful flames.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So the old man finally enters the battle and actually came up with a plan. Yamamoto has never shown much in the form of cunningness, so I'm slightly impressed that he actually thought of something for once. I always thought that Yama just torched anything that he didn't like, although he still doesn't give much of a damn about the opinions or well-being of his subordinates by going with a big-bang kamikaze attack. This also explained why he was conspicuously missing when his subordinates were being owned by Aizen.Of course, Aizen still one-ups Yama with the perfect counter of Wonderweiss. Looks like Aizen had plans for at least one of his arrancars despite unceremoniously dumping the rest of them. I guess Wonderweiss must have disposed of Kensei and Mashiro while the other battles were going on. With Wonderweiss being specially created to fight Yamamoto's fire, I wonder if Wonderweiss is weak against other attacks. However, since Yama has surrounded himself with columns of flames, it might be hard for the others to come to the rescue. Ichigo is probably going to sit and watch for a few more chapters.
