Being Aizen's most direct subordinates, the Espada are privy to several of Aizen's plans, such as his goals of destroying Karakura Town and creating the King's Key and the location of the Hogyoku within Las Noches. Aizen's respect for the Espada's abilities is reflected on his manner of addressing them, sitting at the head of the same table with them, while discussing the events.

Aizen merely treates the Espada as tools. In accordance with this, Aizen is not at all distressed over the deaths of the Espada and calmly congratulates the intruders in Las Noches for their victories against the Espada as he leaves for Karakura Town.
