We know it can see through genjutsu and it also is supposed to give the user enhanced clarity so do you think it would be able to see through aizen's shikai?

Aizen's shikai has beaten attempts to see through it I believe. Shinji tried and failed.

Aizen's shikai controls/affects a lot more than just the opponent's vision, so probably not.
It'd be better if the Sharingan didn't see the Shikai in the first place.

Genjutsu tends to affect more senses than just the type it's based around(example: both Tsukuyomi and the Frog Song affect the sense of touch). The Sharingan's ability to see through genjutsu seems to be determined by what sense the genjutsu is based on. They can see through sight based illusions fairly easily while sound seems to be a weak point. Aizen's Shikai affects all the senses but it primarily takes root in sight, since it is based around the opponent seeing his sword.

On the other hand, Aizen's Shikai is pretty much above all other illusions in the HST in terms of detail. With Naruto genjutsu, it's pretty obvious that you're in one. With this is mind, it's pretty likely that his Shikai is > Base Sharingan.

Maybe? Sure, why not?

Shinji didn't have any abilities to help him, though. No-one in Bleach has a sharingan like power.

And Unohana did notice something was off when examining the dummy Aizen. So it's not flawless.




It depends a lot on what the illusion is. It's obvious if the person does obvious things like have heads come out of them or trees hold them place, but if it's a subtle thing, it's very hard to notice.

Tsukiyomi affects even more than Aizen's shikai, going for one's sense of time as well, able to make the target feel pain, etc.. Koto can mind control someone without their knowing.

We aren't talking about fighting it with normal anti-genjutsu methods, though, but rather the sharingan, which doesn't use the same technique.

And, Kyōka Suigetsu uses reishi, just like all zanpakuto abilities. So it's using reishi to control senses rather than chakra, not all that different to begin with.

Well I be damned.
