Aizen Vs Springtrap (Battle of the Masterminds)

Sosuke Aizen

VS

William Afton

Aizen and Springtrap, two master manipulators, share an eerie resemblance in their immortality and their ability to deceive. Aizen spent years deceiving the Soul Society, faking his death and orchestrating events from the shadows to further his own grand plan of obtaining the Hogyoku, a powerful artifact that would allow him to transcend the boundaries of Soul Reapers and Hollows. His intricate machinations involved manipulating both his allies and enemies to achieve ultimate power. Similarly, Springtrap manipulated children, luring them into the back rooms of the pizzeria, which led to his own supposed death after the spring locks activated, locking him in the suit forever before he began haunting it over time. Aizen staged his "death" only to return and reveal he had been in control all along, while Springtrap "died" in an animatronic suit, only to return as an undead entity. Both are impossible to kill, always resurfacing despite their apparent demise. They continually come back, with everything being part of Aizen’s grand scheme, while Springtrap’s haunting presence induces terror in his victims. Aizen loves to toy with his enemies, using his Shikai, Kyoka Suigetsu, to manipulate perceptions and create illusions that distort reality. Springtrap, on the other hand, preys on the fear of others, never truly dying. Their persistence makes them relentless, masterminds who refuse to stay down, always lurking and waiting for their next move. So, when Kyoka Suigetsu collides with the undead Springtrap, Aizen’s powerful ability to manipulate perception might give him an edge—creating illusions so convincing that he could control the flow of the battle, but will it be enough to stop Springtrap’s unyielding persistence, or will the undead entity prove that even Aizen’s tricks can’t break his terrifying will?

Who wins?
