Aizen Sword
The Aizen Sword (also known as the Manipulator Sword) is an S Tier Legendary Sword and a mid-game powerhouse. It serves as a critical stepping stone toward obtaining the True Aizen, one of the best swords in the game.
How to Obtain
Location: Aizen Trainer NPC (near the domed building in Hueco Mundo)
The Aizen Trainer assigns the following quests:
- Defeat 250 Hollow Enemies (found on Hollow Island)
- Get the Shinigami Race (Legendary rarity — use Race Rerolls, set to skip Epic races)
- Use a Worthiness Fragment (dropped from defeating Hollows)
- Deal 350,000,000 total damage (cumulative, not in one go)
- Defeat the Manipulator Boss 15 times (server-hop after each kill for speed)
Materials to provide:
| Material | Quantity | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Hyogoku Fragment | 1x | 1.28% from Manipulator Boss |
| Reiatsu Core | 3x | 3.21% from Manipulator Boss |
| Illusion Prism | 6x | 8.56% from Manipulator Boss |
| Mirage Pendant | 10x | 21.40% from Manipulator Boss |
Stats
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Legendary |
| Base Damage | 680 |
| Attack Speed | Fast |
| Mastery Required | 450 |
| Tier | S |
Strengths
- Strong mid-game weapon with competitive damage (680 base)
- Fast attack speed for efficient farming and PvP
- Required stepping stone for True Aizen (S+ tier)
- Relatively structured acquisition through quest chain
Weaknesses
- Hyogoku Fragment has very low 1.28% drop rate
- Requires Shinigami race (Legendary rarity, RNG-dependent)
- 350M total damage quest is time-consuming
- Defeating Manipulator Boss 15 times requires significant commitment
Tips
- Set Race Rerolls to skip Epic races to speed up getting Shinigami
- Server-hop after each Manipulator Boss kill for faster completion
- The 350M damage quest is cumulative — keep fighting enemies and bosses normally
- Once you have this sword, start planning your True Aizen progression
- This sword is both powerful on its own and a prerequisite for one of the best weapons in the game
