Liltotto's demeanor was pretty intimidating. It's like, she's not even angry. Just disappoint. I am starting to think that she is a lot more powerful than we were led to believe, which she kind of implied earlier. At any rate, PePe is gone - Mayuri single-handedly (*AHEM*) managed to defeat both Gigi and PePe. Not bad.

I like how Kubo handled the situation up in the palace. I know everyone would have raged if Kirinji had been beaten off-panel. W's power is pretty interesting - I also like the implication that Yhwach might have more Sternritter under his skirt. We didn't see much from Senjumaru, unless those dudes were puppets or something.

And it looks like Ichigo is indeed already heading back up to the palace... to be honest, I am hoping the cannon misfires or something. If not however, it seems like Urahara and Yoruichi are going up as well.
