I honestly didn't think that Kubo would take this kind of direction for Bambietta's character, but Bleach has been missing a character of the "Sadi-chan" archetype, so I hardly mind. But I would have to be crazy to say that I like her, now. Frankly her posse looks like a bunch of cannon fodder, but if my A-Z/Strongest-Weakest theory holds up, then there's a mix of strong ones and weaklings in there.

I'm getting the impression that Jugo is not too worried about his position being compromised by Uryuu. Askin's comment last chapter certainly implied that he aspires to be emperor himself, but it seems like he's smart enough to know not to question it. Above that, he knows exactly why Yhwach did what he did. All eyes are on Ishida, and it almost seems like Jugo is expecting him to screw up or make the wrong move.

It was nice to see the scene shift to Hueco Mundo again. As I expected, Urahara's hard at work figuring out how the Medallion works. The arc is bound to become a Bankai Palooza eventually, but for that to happen the Plotkai Dampeners just have to go.
