Still not a fan of Hitsugaya's new powerup, it feels way too much like Rukia's without any of the drawbacks. Regardless, I appreciated this chapter for keeping things simple, giving teamwork a chance for once. Don't think this is the end of Gerard yet (sigh...).

I think I did mention mass freezing as a way to take out Gerard in my blog, but it seems that that isn't the case (I still think Rukia might be able to do it, though her Bankai really can't be used now due to all the people around her). However, I may be right by predicting that Gerard will have to be taken down by a relentless group assault. Hopefully the "Popular Trio" will take a bit of the backseat and the rest of the Shinigami can have a shot at him (though knowing Kubo, he might forget about Shinji, the Visored etc. and have Soi Fon nuke Gerard)
