I may be the only one, but I don't think every.single.panel of every.single.chapter should have an OMGUNOHANAISTHEFIRSTKENPACHI revelation or a HOLYCRAPYAMAMOTOJUSTGOTKILLED event or fight. Half of the story is built through this little moments of interaction between the characters, it's been a while since we've seen the dynamics in Ichigo's and Renji's friendship and I'm glad we got something of that. I also thought important that Renji reminded Ichigo that he needs to keep himself strong, that it's not 24/7 training or he'll just collapse and help nobody. Everything must be done step by step. So no, I don't think this chapter was wasted, and I don't think it was bad either, it was just giving us character development and a little peaceful moment, which I'm grateful for after all that sorrow, slaughter and insanity
