All of Aizen's "just as planned" talk is a whole lot better if you consider he really didn't plan shit and he's basically just bullshitting and saying he knew what they were going to do, even if he really didn't. Like some little kid who doesn't want to lose. "Nuh-uh, I knew you were gonna do that. You didnt trick me!"
Sadly that's probably not the case and Aizen will be back to normal next chapter. Though he does really look pissed.
