Again, you're using nothing but hype look at feats and the fact that Aizen got stronger in the time skip. Yama's bankai isn't touching Aizen and Urahara isn't strong at all lol, couldn't even beat Askin.
I don't see anything restrictnig hype.
On the other hand hype is kinda feat itself.
If Aizen say that Yamamoto surpass him, and there is no reason for us to believe that he lied, then I don't see why I anyone would believe otherwise. On top of that Aizen went creating special arrancar just to surpass Ryujin Jakka. But not just that, Yamamoto was sure to take down Aizen even without his zanpakutou after feeling his reiatsu (according to Aizen, shinigamis fights are battles of reiatsu). You are saying that Yamamoto's bankai can't touch Aizen, but how will Aizen bypass West?
Urahara is weak since he could't beat Askin? Two things are wrong with your statament.
1. He actually beat Askin, tho with help.
2. Askin is one of the strongest character in series.
