Mirrors High Which Banner to Pull (Limited Aizen)

Direct answer: Mirrors High which banner to pull at launch

If you only spend once in week one, put opening Mirror Gems toward the limited Sosuke Aizen pickup on Aizen Launch, not the standing permanent pool. Limited Aizen is time-gated (publisher window through 2026-11-24 05:59 UTC (14:59 JST)—confirm the timer in-game). Permanent and release-celebration pools can wait or use tickets. This page is decision framing plus community pool lists—not a promise he drops in 30 pulls.

Premises

Fact	Status
First limited recruit named by the publisher: Aizen	Official PR / press
Pickup window = service start → 2026-11-24 05:59 UTC (14:59 JST)	Official PR / official X; in-game notice wins
Opening gift: 9,000 Mirror Gems (+ free ★3 Ichigo / Rukia)	Official — see launch rewards
Release Celebration Vol. 1–4 and permanent Mirrors gacha also run at launch	Community guide lists (Game8 / gacha.gg)—confirm names in client
Featured rates / medal pity	Community / in-game rate sheet—this wiki has not archived a live screenshot; see summons
CBT rate tables	Not live authority

Opportunity cost: limited Aizen vs everything else

Spend target	What you buy	Opportunity cost
Aizen Rate Up / PICKUP #1	Only pool that can drop limited Aizen while the window is open	Gems spent here do not refill celebration or permanent pulls
Release Celebration Vol. 1–4	Rate-up on named launch roster groups (community lists: e.g. Ichigo group, Rukia group, Hitsugaya group, Grimmjow group)	Still time-windowed on many guides (~same end as Aizen)—but units are generally the permanent launch cast, not the exclusive limited
Permanent Mirrors gacha	Standing roster pulls	Lowest urgency; community guides usually say save gems / use tickets here
Holding gems	Flexibility for the next limited	You may miss Aizen’s first run forever if he stays limited-only

Rule of thumb: scarcity first, favorites second. Free Ichigo + Rukia already cover a starter duo from the Gifts box—you are not forced to gem-pull a permanent attacker just to start story.

F2P vs spender scenarios

F2P / low spend (keep the 9,000 + login/mission gems)

Choice	When it fits	Risk
All opening gems → Aizen pickup	You want the limited and accept miss chance	9,000 gems is a small sample; community sites quote ~300 gems/pull → ~30 pulls—not a hard pity
Reroll loops until Aizen, then stop	Time-rich, unlinked account	Progress wipe; see reroll guide
Skip Aizen, gem a celebration volume for a favorite	Preference > meta; you refuse limited FOMO	You may wait a long time for Aizen’s return (return schedule unknown)
Tickets only on permanent; gems reserved	Same as “hold for limited”—correct default for permanent	Do not burn the 9,000 on permanent out of habit

Login (up to 3,000) and beginner-mission (3,000) gems from the launch rewards package only help if you keep the account—infinite reset burns that track.

Light / heavy spender

Choice	When it fits	Caution
Buy gems → finish toward Aizen	You already decided the limited is the goal	Medal exchange / hard pity figures on guide sites (often 200 medals) are community-reported—verify the Exchange Shop before planning a spark
Split paid gems across Aizen + a celebration volume	You want both limited and a specific permanent rate-up	Splitting early can leave both incomplete; finish one goal first
Wait for a future limited	You dislike Aizen’s kit or lore	Valid—Initial Analysis on the tier list is not an order to pull

How to read celebration volumes (community map)

Game8 / gacha.gg list four Release Celebration volumes alongside Aizen’s rate-up (dates often aligned to 2026-11-24 05:59 UTC (14:59 JST)). Groupings below are community summaries for navigation—open the in-game banner UI for the live featured line:

Volume (community label)	Featured names commonly listed	Prefer if…
Vol. 1	Ichigo, Uryu, Sado, Orihime	You want more copies / variants around the free Ichigo core
Vol. 2	Rukia, Renji, Byakuya	You are building around free Rukia / Squad 6 names
Vol. 3	Rangiku, Yoruichi, Hitsugaya	You want Hitsugaya-facing attacker options from free-retry targets
Vol. 4	Grimmjow, Mayuri, Bambietta	Debuff / clash-leaning preferences

None of these replace limited Aizen’s exclusivity. For team ideas after you pull, see best teams (potential synergy / Initial Analysis only).

Decision checklist (before you tap 10-pull)

1. Claim launch rewards in Gifts first—gems you never claimed cannot be spent.
2. Read the in-game end time on Aizen’s banner (do not trust only this page’s 2026-11-24 05:59 UTC).
3. Open the live rate disclosure on that banner (summons explains what to look for).
4. Decide stop conditions: e.g. “stop after 9,000,” “stop when medals reach X,” or “reroll if miss”—write it down before emotion spending.
5. Avoid the mistakes on beginner mistakes (linking too early, story before gifts, treating invites as universal codes).

Exceptions and unknowns

• Exact EN banner titles and ticket SKUs: client-only.
• Whether Aizen returns, gets a rerun rate, or enters a standard pool later: unknown.
• Live ★4 / featured percentages and medal costs: treat guide-site numbers as unverified here until this wiki archives the disclosure.
• CBT pity complaints or CBT % tables: discard for live planning.
