also, aizen flat out admitted that yama-jii was more powerful than him before sealing ryujin jakka so it is also possible that yama-jii is the most powerful shinigami and still have more people show up that are stronger than aizen.

Spoiler for manga:

Aizen was only referring to Ryuujin Jakka's flames: he means that, all else being equal, Ryuujin Jakka's offensive power could defeat him - if he were to stand around ground zero when the old man unleashed it in the way he intended to.

Is anyone else pissed off at Kubo's insistence on the shinigamis' bankai being withheld? I mean, if against Aizen is not the time to use it, WHEN? It's an obvious, irritating method of keeping some cliffhangers in reserve.
