While I normally don't participate in discussions about chapters, I feel a little compelled to do so for this "notable" chapter. It does seem like that Tite Kubo is "overdoing" the deaths of the characters, albeit this arc was expected to go at a fast pace. Of course, deaths of characters on the "good" side is not a surprising thing. However, the manner of these deaths does not appear to be fitting. Having Yamamoto die in this manner, given that he is one of the strongest (if not THE strongest) Shinigami, is a bit disappointing. Yes, this gives a reason for the Zero Division to appear, but still... It would have been a bit better if the deaths had been more spread out, instead of having so many characters die in a single arc. Well, it is what it is.
