I think Aizen's power is not centered on his zanpakto (while it is an extremel useful tool in his case) or his fighting skills but rather on his intelligence and a thirst for knowledge. Urahara, I believe is very similar to Aizen, in terms of intelligence and knowledge that they possess, very much like mirror images. In a that very context, Urahara might be Aizen's 'true' adversary in the end... Just a hunch, but til now, we all have had only a few tasters of both Urahara's and Aizen's physical powers.... think Kubo sensei might be saving something for the big battle at the end...
I agree with you. if in future chapters it comes down to urahara vs aizen then we'll get to see their true strength. it seems though that aizen might be more intimidated by Tousen, Gin, and Orihime. if you go by the saying, "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" then this applies to aizen and those 3.
tousen has a HUGE advantage against aizen's powerful zanpakutou since he can never see it, Gin was powerful and at early age and it impressed aizen, and orihime has that weird cancellation power that aizen is intriged by. but i dont see how ichigo fits in, unless we havent seen his true power yet....
