Having a mini-phase where I'm really into Bleach again, anyway:
Aizen kidnaps the Kurosaki twins when Masaki dies and has them raised in Las Noches, alternately pitting them against each other and then against minor arrancar. He wants to see how much of their Shinigami/Quincy backgrounds he can force to the foreground via constant stressors and being surrounded by Hollow energy. If he's very lucky, one of them will accidentally become a Vizard of their own volition, which he would love.
Can't let them die by way of aggressive morons, though, so they're usually in the company of an espada with self-control and maturity, like Starrk, Nel, Harribel, or Ulquiorra.
After all, what mad scientist would pass up the chance for Twin Studies?
They're still alive, and Aizen finds it funny to taunt them with just what they're missing out on. They hate Aizen, but they're also a little resentful of the fact that (at last according to Aizen himself), there are lots of people who could theoretically come and save them, like Urahara and Yoruichi and their dad, but aren't. Aizen himself oscillates between 'your loved ones are too weak to find you, because I'm a genius and can hide your reiatsu even if they do look into Hueco Mundo, muahahaha' and 'look, they don't even care enough about you to come looking.' You know, just to fuck them up in the head a bit.
There are several options:
Orihime finds them when it's her turn to be kidnapped, and then Ichigo has a (loving and resentful) surprise waiting for him when he arrives.
Orihime doesn't get kidnapped, but Aizen draws Ichigo out anyway by sending a taunting six-years-late ransom video with Yuzu and Karin in it.
Yuzu and Karin slip out when Nel gets chucked off the tower, and spend the next few years until Ichigo shows up just hanging out in the desert, because none of them know how to open a Garganta, not even Pesche and Dondochakka. (They do, actually, but Aizen's still keeping tabs on his pet projects, and is blocking that ability from the Fraccion because, well, he can't just let the girls go home before he's revealed himself to Soul Society.)
The Invasion of Soul Society causes so much hullabaloo that they (barely) manage to escape through Aizen's Negacion exit. (They aren't sure if they succeeded on their own, or if Aizen let them go to cause more chaos.)
They befriend Lilynette and at one point mention that they miss their brother, Ichigo, whom they loved the way Lilynette loves Starrk; they haven't really been told the truth of Starrk and Lilynette being two halves of the same soul, but it's enough that Lilynette bullies Starrk into kidnapping her and her human-ish friends to the Land of the Living and/or Soul Society, which Aizen actually didn't predict.

So...I remember not liking these three goofs and their impact on the story when I originally read this, and definitely didn’t like it in the anime, where the tonal shift is even more severe with ridiculous comedy music playing in the background. But I’ll do my best to read it with some charity, because Kubo has to have put them in this for some reason, right?
I suppose the first thing to note here is that this crew is a bunch of goofs with zero of the malice which has characterized every hollow up to this point. And notably, despite being seemingly weak AF, they are indeed Arrancars, with the exception of their pet monster thing. So being has becoming an arrancar-- taking off the mask-- opened up new possibilities for Hollows? Is it allowing them to not just access new levels of power, but also to slowly rebuild their psyches into something more human? Nel et al. certainly make it seem that way.
Sono senz’altro una con un’età in là, non mi fermo mai, corro tutto il giorno e sono diventata nonna, questo mi fa fare anche da babysitter attempata. Ce la faccio ancora a custodire, a cullare a a cantare alla nostra stupenda, bellissima SARA FUTURA. Grazie a Dio lei sta crescendo bene, ciuccia il latte da mamma Serena e dorme, molte volte anche con me. Lei si addormenta fra le mie braccia,…
