So the new Sternritter is "The Mental" ? Pretty cool ability too. But I think the weakness of the ability is that someone else has to believe what he's saying for it to take effect. I'm probably wrong, but I bet that if Yachiru didn't start thinking about her bones turning to cookies just because he said they did, her bones wouldn't have broken.

Zaraki is one of my favourite characters but I didn't want him to return this early. If he wins by a huge margin, I won't be satisfied (but I may laugh my face off). If he wins by a small margin or he loses, then killing off Unohana was a pointless exercise (and I definitely won't be satisfied).
