Aizen's not whitebeard IMHO, at most he is blackbeard with the power to Kubo other character's special ability.
Because this second explosion would kill a whole lot more than just the gotei 13 and Aizen would still very probably walk away unscratched since he wasn't in the heart of it

Gah... defending Kubo's plot choices leaves a bad taste in my mouth
