A brilliant chapter - I can see how frustrating it is when not much happens, but i really enjoyed it - this chapter felt like it had alot of emotion and alot of passion put in to it. A satisfying conclusion to the overkill battle - and actually was good to feel yamma's goodbye, like Chojiro hadn't fully died as his bankai was still being used, but with overkill defeated, Yamma had finally avenged chojiro and closed that chapter. I loved seeing yamma lose it as well. He doesn't say much other than he will wipe out the army quite calmly to shuhei, and then blows up like a nuclear warhead across the seritei betraying his true anger.

There were a few pages in the middle showing each captain etc, a necessary evil I guess - add to the impact of yamma's rage, we may finally see him go all out (wonderwiess isnt around now).

I must admit -it is very frustrating not getting to see kenpachi fight - but it certainly added the shock factor to see him being held up by Buckbeard without his eyepatch. Didn't seem to be a scratch on the quincy. I expect alot of backstory will come in if Yamma and Buckbeard are already matched up.

The highlight I think was the last page - beautifully drawn, and without a back story, we are starting to get a real sense of high tensions and hatred there is between yamma and buckbeard.

I really liked this chapter - the only thing i disliked is Marechiyo Ōmaeda. Just the fact he appears makes me annoyed - can't wait for him to be killed off.
