Yeah, the development is slow but I am actually enjoying it a bit. It is refreshing after the constant action of the Arrancar arc. It is like the Agent of The Shinigami arc in a way, slower paced and more focused on learning rather than saving someone. The place I am getting Sado giving ichigo his powers comes from this chapter and last. Last chapter he said he was willing to give his powers to Ichigo if it would mean that he wouldn't have to see Ichigo like that anymore. Then in this chapter Riruka tells Ichigo to use fullbring. Unless this means he has always had access to fullbring, it has to mean that someone gave their powers to Ichigo, the most likely candidate being Sado due to what he said. I agree with you on Riruka for the most part, I truly do not like her. Her attitude is just ripped off of Hiyori with no background. Though her abilities interest me. Yes it sounds lame being called Doll House and the ability to transport things she finds cute or awesome but if you strip it down to what it really is, it is matter resizing and transportation, a very potent ability in any other series. It has many practical applications in battle such as shrinking down an enemy so they are not a threat or taking something powerful from something and making it larger and using it. I think it will be interesting to see the full capabilities of it.
