Upon Aizen's defection from the Soul Society alongside Gin & Tosen, one of the first things he had to do was to create an army. Since Aizen has made a pact with the Menos, it was only natural to get to know who he was affiliating himself with. As a result, 9 Espada and various Arrancar(s) were under his command, but it didn't initially start out with everyone getting on their hands and knees and saluting Aizen as the one divine being to rule them all. No, that part was reserved for Baraggan Louisebairn ~ the King of Hueco Mundo. As Aizen visited him during a trivial pursuit of Baraggan's relief of boredom ~ he took an interest in him right away, but was aware of his intentions. In introducing Aizen's plan to make Baraggan stronger in exchange he side with him, Baraggan was in disbelief and sentenced Aizen, Gin, & Tosen to die right before him.....only to have it backfired as Aizen already distorted Baraggan's senses into thinking that his army was alive. Now, it was only Baraggan and with no one else to turn to....he surrender and became subjugated by Aizen's rule. The hatred that Baraggan has for Aizen is so intense that in his dying moments ~ he wanted retribution for everything Aizen has done for him. A complicated relationsip, but Aizen merely used the King as his own puppet to become a greater being far surpassing that of Shinigami & Hollow. That is why this Affinity is interesting ~ all along I believed they sided with Aizen, but in actuality ~ it was a fluke, ploy, and gamble. Some sided because they feared Aizen's power and others out of having the belief that he truly is a God. For Baraggan, it was out of fear of dying and wanting to reclaim what is rightfully is....his throne, power, and ambitions.
I hope you enjoyed this week's Affinity. Affinities every Tuesday. As always, you all stay classy now.
