After reading through the various blogs and giving it a lot of thought, and asking my pillow's opinion (maybe shouldn't have done that, she once assured Byakuya Kuchiki was gona propose to me, but I'm not going there) I could finally think more clearly on this week's events. I mean, yesterday I was completely freaked out and flustered over basically everything (particularly, major disappointment) and I was jumping back and forth from "He saved her life" to "He's a psycho creepo" in one minute, and then I was banging my head on the table and despairing over basically nothing. But I finally decided my position on this. And my position is none.

This is Ichimaru Gin we're talking about. Each chapter we read, he makes us change our mind about him. So I'm going neutral on this and I'm not gonna say "He wanted to protect her by leaving her out of the battle" because, Salubri said it, he left her bleeding to death in a town that's about to be destroyed. But I'm not going to the "He's just Aizen's lapdog and the evilest evil of all time" because I still have no idea of what he's got in his mind. So I'm going neutral and wait to see where this is going, just without freaking out.

Sigh. I just can't help being bothered by the fact that Matsumoto was basically a decorative piece that served no purpose other than filling up pages. We got no new information, she didn't put up any sort of fight and well... it's like we're back to where we started. Just with less time.

And talking about time. It seems like Isshin is running out of reiatsu. We weren't specified of how much "time" has passed in the Dangai, but Isshin was on his knees and his body's position saying "Imma dying here!" and his face looked like he's having a hard time. So to put it short, it does seem like Ichigo doesn't have much time left, so I guess next chapter will be completely focused on Ichigo's fight against "His Power". Now, seeing how this is going, it seems very possible to me that Isshin will be completely knocked out after this, so he won't be able to fight. It'll most likely be all on Ichigo now I guess. We'll see.

Man this came out so long! BTW the new layout for the comments is weird
