Poor Yammy. Poor, poor Yammy. He got the short end of the stick from fans and Kubo. I mean, when he changed from 10 to 0, I thought that maybe he was finally going to get his due. But in the end, it seems that the critics were right and Kubo pulled that move simply to give Yammy some form of threat because Espada 5 and below had already been defeated and so people had a reasonable expectation that Espada 10 would be an easy prey for the combined force of Rukia, Chad and Renji.

Instead, we didn't even get to see how he was taken down. But then, he wasn't the only one was he. There was also Kensai and we still don't know what happened to him. In addition, if Unohana was busy healing Hiyori, there is a chance that Hinamori was left to die. Maybe Unohana has a rule that she only brings back people from the brink of death once. Kensai, Hinamori and Yama-jii are the only Shinigami/Vizards with question marks hanging over their heads.

Then there is the fallout from Gin. Poor Rangiku! And it seem that we are moving on to the next plot point with Ichigo's screaming so maybe we won't get the full dead or alive list.
