As Aizen in Naruto and Joined a Chat Group

Amegakure Village's Angel: To be people, not things?

Curly-haired Guy: Yeah, that's why our boss wants to change Yoshiwara. I just got unmuted, so I came to explain it to you all.

Doujin Artist: I don't get your explanation at all! So in Aizen-sama's eyes, sex workers aren't even people?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: I don't think it's that simple.

Wig Guy: Wait! Gintoki, you really joined Aizen?

Curly-haired Guy: What else was I supposed to do? I followed *your* plan step by step. That's called giving you face.

Wig Guy: Are you kidding me? Don't you have any samurai pride left? You actually went and joined that evil demon lord Aizen?!

Curly-haired Guy: You've got a big mouth for someone not risking anything! Even Night King Hōsen got one-shotted by him — and no one even saw how he drew his sword! You try going up against him!

Wig Guy: A real samurai should stick to their beliefs, even if it means dying! What… did you bribe him with?

Machete Girl: So that's the real question, huh? You want to try bribing him too?

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Kotonoha-chan's growing up fast, seeing through things like that right away.

Curly-haired Guy: Bribe your sister! A man like me needs to bribe someone? Can't Aizen-sama just admire my talents?

Amegakure Village's Angel: Admire your talents...

Doujin Artist: You've got to be kidding. That's just nonsense.

This is an Actor: Totally ridiculous. Unless Aizen's blind.

Curly-haired Guy: Ahem. Even if you're the group admin, you can't insult my boss!

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Anzen-san was only insulting *you*, not your boss.

Doujin Artist: Can we get back to the main point? What does it mean to be a person versus being a thing?

Shark-Faced Guy: We'll need Anzen-san for that. He's the expert here.

Soul Society's Villain: Expert?

Doujin Artist: Yeah, expert on reading Aizen. Anzen-san figured out Aizen's thoughts so many times before.

Soul Society's Villain: Figured out Aizen's thoughts? The admin has skills like that?

Amegakure Village's Angel: Anzen-san can do a lot more than that. You'll learn over time. He's a man who can make both your heart and body feel good.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Konan-nee is promoting her man again!

Soul Society's Villain: Oh? I'm looking forward to it. Then please, admin-sama, explain it for us.

To be honest, Unohana was really curious about this admin.

Just looking at how the group members respected him from the heart, it was clear this man wasn't as simple as he seemed. So what kind of secrets was he hiding?

This is an Actor: To understand Aizen's words, you first need to think about the difference between a person and a thing. It's not about being alive or dead. It's about having a mind.

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: A mind?

This is an Actor: Yeah, a mind. If someone loses their beliefs and forgets what it means to be a person... and becomes a tool that only knows how to please others for money—are they still a person?

Amegakure Village's Angel: I see. So that's what "thing" means. Losing your beliefs and the sense of being human—that's what makes someone a thing.

Soul Society's Scapegoat: That's an interesting way to look at it. So you're saying Aizen did what he did in Yoshiwara just to free those women's minds?

Wig Guy: No way! That evil bastard wouldn't do something so noble!

Curly-haired Guy: Hey, Wig. If you think he's so evil, why did you come to Yoshiwara to hand in a resume? Did you think I wouldn't recognize you just because you wore a fake beard?

Wig Guy: It's not a wig, it's Katsura! I'm just here to do undercover work. Please approve my application, thanks.

This is an Actor: Aizen isn't simply evil. That's just a fact. To him, there's no need to worry about good or evil. What he really wants is the feeling of achievement along the way. Whether it's turning the world upside down or taking down the Soul King, it's all about that process.

Soul Society's Villain: So it's all about the sense of achievement. I see.

Unohana seemed to understand something, and at the same time, grew even more curious about this mysterious group leader. He really seemed to get Aizen—like, really get him, deep down.

Could he have figured all this out just by analyzing?

This is an Actor: Still, the Aizens from the Naruto and Gintama worlds aren't the real Aizen from Soul Society. Captain Unohana, I think you've already noticed that, right?

Soul Society's Villain: Yeah. The age difference is a big clue. And the bone structure in their faces—close, but not a perfect match.

As one of the top medical experts in Soul Society, Unohana had both the theory and hands-on experience to back up her knowledge of human anatomy.

She didn't even need to do a dissection. Just by careful observation, she could spot the tiny differences between the real Aizen and the ones from the Naruto and Gintama worlds.

Doujin Artist: That's amazing, Hanako!

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: For real. Way better than we were. We only figured it out thanks to a hint from Anzen-san.

Wig Guy: Wait, so… our Aizen isn't the real one? He's a fake?

Soul Society's Villain: Not exactly a fake. I think those two are like offshoots—accidental creations caused by the Hōgyoku. In other words, they're Aizen viruses. Aizen viruses created by the Hōgyoku.
