2	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aizen2_4.png]]
3	[[caption-width-right:250:[[JerkAss Complete bastard]] ]]
4	----
5	* TheAtoner: A lot of the Plot of the later series and ''Heir'' in particular is driven by Aizen trying to make up for the various wrongs he's done to Gin.
6	* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Most of late phase 1 and phase 2. Most notably the [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil Affair]] in ''CWST''.
7	* TheCasanova: And [[CommonKnowledge everyone knows.]]
8	* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Averted because Aizen likes to see Gin blush.
9	* CharacterCheck: {{Invoked}} makes an active point of reminding everyone what a cold bastard he is whenever the mask slips a bit. While some of this is to protect Gin from Jac a lot of it is straight up pride. This is especially noticeable in ''Game'' and ''Safe Harbour'' when he's trying to keep Gin at arms length, Phase 2 with the [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil affair.]]
10	** Also does this a bit in phase 3 but it's much softened by the fact that Gin knows exactly what he's doing and plays along.
11	* DepravedBisexual: He’s bi-sexual and his actions towards his interests are very depraved at the start.
12	* EnemyWithin: Jac.
13	* HopeIsScary: Thanks to the situation with Jac his feelings towards actually falling in love with Gin have an element of this.
14	* IHatePastMe: In Cycle Aizen grows to loathe the weak child he once was. {{Subverted}} to [[EmotionalTorque devastating]] effect later as what he's become keeps getting in the way of his relationship with Gin.
15	* InelegantBlubbering: When he finally does breakdown in ''CF'' he's full-on sobbing.
16	* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: ''Lie'' and ''CWST'' courtesy of Jac.
17	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: {{Zigzagged}} Starts out {{Deconstructed}} with Aizen trying to find a better partner for Gin to protect him from Jac, but Gin doesn't [[SingleTargetSexuality make it easy]] and Aizen can't really bring himself to go through with it. When he finally does manage to chase Gin away in ''CWST'' it [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone breaks him.]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Literally no one]] cares not even Cherry.
18	* JerkassWoobie: {{Deconstructed}} throughout Phase 1 and 2 The tension between his JerkassWoobie tendencies and actually caring about Gin is a major plot driver.
19	** {{Justified}} with his backstory in ''Pact'' and ''Cycle'' and when his reasons for trying to [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies dump Gin]] are revealed in Lie.
20	** {{Reconstruction}} in phase 3 as he starts being more honest with Gin.
21	* MomentOfWeakness: Referenced in ''Can't be in there with you'' in a FlashBack of him [[PleaseDontLeaveMe begging Gin to stay with him in the hospital]] he blames it on [[InVinoVeritas painkillers.]]
22	* LadyKillerInLove: Well a bi example but trope holds.
23	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Pretty much the point of ''Lethal Lunacy''
24	** Also a after his [[TearsOfRemorse first kill]] in ''Cycle''
25	* NoMoreLies: the end of ''I love'' it doesn't stick.
26	* NotSoStoic: {{downplayed}} at the end of ''I love'' played very straight in ''CF'' much to Gin's [[StunnedSilence shock.]]
27	* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Practically runs on this trope but particularly in early ''Game'' where he does nothing to help Gin's misgivings by consistently playing up his [[TheCasanova Casanova]] traits and responding to Gin's rejections in a less than [[PayEvilUntoEvil optimal manner]]
28	** Safe harbour exemplifies this.
29	** Also in CF when his fears loosen his tongue.
30	* PillarsOfMoralCharacter: Oddly enough but a lot of the Phase 4 plot is driven by a mix On and Gimu towards Gin for standing by him through everything. Admittedly Gin is the only one he shows this towards.
31	* SafetyInIndifference: mostly due to Jac.
32	* SandInMyEyes: {{Inverted}} Gin is so used to Aizen's image that he tends to brush off any apparent show of emotion as his imagination or a [[TheChessmaster misdirection]] without Aizen really having bother with excuses.
33	* ShutUpHannibal: On occassion when the [[BreakThemByTalking breaking speech]] is working. Usually completely ineffectual.
34	* StartOfDarkness: ''Pact'' and ''Cycle'' show how he met Jac and how the hollow subsequently breaks him. Though he wasn't exactly IncorruptiblePurePureness to begin with.
35	* StepfordSnarker: Tends to get an acid tongue whenever Gin hits a little [[DidYouThinkICantFeel too close to home.]]
36	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Gin doesn't realize there's a sweet side for years.
37	* TroubledAbuser: Mostly on a psychological level a lot of the way he treats people is just imitating the Jac treated him. ''Cycle'' is pretty much about this shift from victim to victimizer.

40	!! [[Characters/BleachAizenAndHisCohorts Ichimaru Gin]]
41	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gin1_7.png]]
42	----
43	* ActOfTrueLove: Many times but most notably agreeing to defect with Aizen and forgiving him his [[WhyWouldAnyoneTakeThemBack With his ridiculous number of transgressions]]
44	* BeAWhoreToGetYourMan: {{Averted}} Gin tries this in LW&T Ch.6 but Aizen shuts it down.
45	* CharacterCheck: His insecurities still crop up routinely through series and he still blushes a bit too much. {{Justified}} in the first instance because he's with [[MagnificentBastard Aizen]] and in the later because that's standard for his [[AsexualityOrientation.]]
46	* CharacterDevelopment: Gin learns Aizen's tricks and the art of mind games well. In CWST he shows Aizen and the reader just how well he learned.
47	* CuddleBug: Aizen doesn't seem to complain though.
48	* DistressedDude: A lot of the problems especially in Phases 2 and 4 are due to Jac pulling a perpetual IHaveYourIndex and Aizen's subsequent [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl always save Gin.]]
49	* DefectingForLove: {{Invoked}} in ''CF'' and the set up for ''Heir''.
50	* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Gin hates the thought of losing Aizen and the simplest favor/gesture/compliment makes him happy.
51	* FoolForLove: The sheer amount of shit he goes through to be with Aizen is either pathetic, idiotic or sweet but regardless he is always this.
52	* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: In comparison to Aizen though not weak by any means.
53	* LikeAGodToMe: His petname forr Aizen is his 'Sun', and references to the legend of Helios are made constantly.
54	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Aizen though only {{Implied}} in Phases 1 and 2 and {{Downplayed}} in the later timeline.
55	* LustObject: To Aizen who proceeds to spend most of Phase 1 assuring anyone asking that that's all it is and succeeds in fooling no one but Gin.
56	* ObliviousToLove: The early chapters of ''Game'' are largely driven by his complete denial of his own feeling and oblivious or outright cynicism to Aizen's overtures. It's not entirely [[LadykillerInLove Undeserved.]]
57	* SingleTargetSexuality: towards Aizen.
58	* TenderTears: In almost every fic in the series and no one is [[TearJerker calling him down]] for it.
59	* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Aizen from assisting in his plans, to defecting, to forgiving him. Gin will do ''anything'' for him.
60	* WasItAllALie: Various points but especially in ''Unlove'' well all of phase 2 really and when Aizen loses his memories in ''heir''
61	* WhatsHeGotThatIAintGot: Concerning Kisuke in ''LW&T'' ch.6 and Momo in ''cwst''
62	* {{Yandere}}: has some tendency toward this.
63	* YankTheDogsChain: OnceASeason at least.

81	----
82
83	* MasterOfIllusion: As Aizens Zanpakuto it’s to be expected that he’s a master of illusion.
84	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When she stops snarking either [[FromBadToWorse crap just got real]], [[LetsGetDangerous it's time to drop the hammer]] or Aizen's [[BeneathTheMask seriously hurting]] and she's refraining from [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown piling on.]] Usually leads to DontYouDarePityMe in the last instance.
85	* SarcasmMode: Constantly.
86	* ShipperOnDeck: With Aizen and Gin {{Justified}} in that she's a reflection of Aizen and Gin's [[BlatantLies totally just]] [[LadyKillerInLove a toy to him.]]
87	* SnarkToSnarkCombat: with Aizen.
88	* VitriolicBestBuds: When things get bad you can tell they have a proper, welltrained Shinigami/Zanpakuto relationship. Notably in ''CF'' and in ''Heir'' during the fights with Jac.
89

91	Gin's Zanpakuto even snarkier than Kyouka encourages Gin to not overthink everything. Looks like a fox.
92	----

101	* CoolBigSis: acts like this to Gin.
102	* [[GossipyHens Gossipy Hen]]: About everything but especially Gin.
103	* SculleryMaid: A variant of this when she takes Hisagi's shift at the resturant to [[DatePeepers spy on Gin's first date with Aizen]]
104	* ShipperOnDeck: for Gin's sake. She's still wary of Aizen though.
105

110	----
111	* BreakThemByTalking: His go to weapon against Aizen. It usually fails but when he [[OhCrap succeeds.]]

122	* ClingyJealousGirl: Shows signs of this.
123	* InelegantBlubbering: Does this after he catches Aizen with Gin.
124	* {{Hypocrite}}: She cheated on Aizen first. Ulquiorra calls her on this. Somewhat mitigated in that Aizen coerced her.
125	* TheIngenue: PlayedWith she is as much this as in canon however she also openly Lusts for Aizen even knowing he's evil, uses and Abandons Ulq with little thought.
