To use a metaphor, Aizen's current strategy can be described as building a bridge openly while crossing the river in secret.
On the surface, he appears to have received a sect mission and officially left the city to complete the task. In reality, he has secretly circled back to the city, stirring up conflict and intensifying the discord between the two major forces—the Overseas Hundred Alliance and Turtle Rock Ridge.
Aizen has already investigated and understood the personnel of these two factions stationed in Great Plain City.
The Overseas Hundred Alliance is a powerful coalition of nearly a hundred Clans and family clans from overseas. While they are rife with internal conflicts, they maintain a highly unified strategy when facing external expansion—working together against outside threats.
