Vs connections wiki has an article about Aizen vs Saga but long story short is Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach, has admitted that Saint seiya is a major inspiration for him, and Saga was almost certainly the basis he used when writing Aizen. So an episode with the two of them would be the ultimate fight between scheming, god hating, machiavellian anime big bads.

Dark Schneider is the main protagonist of the classic dark fantasy manga series Bastard!!-Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy-. He's the spirit of an evil wizard inhabiting the body of a teenage boy named Lucien. This matchup actually has a bit of history as it was fairly popular back in the day on old battle boarding sites like outskirts, in fact I'm pretty certain it was Saga's most popular in those days. Idk how up to date Schneiders scaling is (Bastard!! Is surprisingly still ongoing to this day) but he's usually placed in the galaxy to uni level range so it should be decently debatable. On top of that I know I had a discussion with you a while back about Sentry vs Saga where you said that if death battle did that matchup you'd like to see a moment where ones good side tried to save the other, if they did Saga vs Schneider you could do something similar and have a scene where good Saga tries to free Lucien from Schneiders influence and succeeds if he wins, though if he loses Schneider is just going to kill Saga which is pretty dark but hey it fits the tone of Bastard!!.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was at work.
