Not wanting to get bored, he avoids seeing his first owner, and visits his second owner, Lord Iemitsu instead. Along the way, Aizen Kunitoshi finds out that he was given as a blessing of protection for Iemitsu’s grandson. Aizen then realizes that the "Aizen Myo'ou" he embodies is meant to represent compassion and love rather than fury and strength. He uses this knowledge to focus on his own talents to become a better sword.
