I find it comically intriguing that Shunsui and Jushiro both have a "children" theme to their respective Zanpakuto.

- Shunsui has the ability to apply the rules of childrens' games to battle.

- Jushiro has a Zanpakuto who's manifestation has the appearance of twin children.

Aside from Yamamoto, the two oldest and strongest members of the Gotei 13 share a "children" theme. Odd... but amusing. :P

Anyway, about Shunsui's Bankai. I just wanna say that when the man said friggin "BANKAI" i nearly lost my mind. I was so excited. Completely beside myself... literally, thank goodness, because had anybody seen my reaction, i would have had to explain myself. Needless to say, I really look forward to seeing what this Bankai is like. This is it, guys; for Shunsui, we need not wait any longer. It's happening!

"At long last, his Bankai...!!"

Another thing i wish to mention...

Shunsui says something just before his legendary "Bankai" call out. In the translation that i read the manga, the quote goes like this:

"So it's come to this... I guess it is time to see what's waiting for me on the other side..."

That statement, coupled with a Bankai called "Lovers' Suicide" / "Double Suicide" really kinda has me worried. I swear, if Shunsui pulls a Yamamoto on us.... Gosh. I hope he doesn't die!

And is it just me, or does there not clearly appear to be some sort of shadowy figure, resting on Shunsui's back, with arms wrapped around him? I'm surprised no one has brought that up yet.

Guys... the hype is so real right now.
