Wow, I wasn't expecting a new chapter this week. i left Wednesday and a spoiler still hadn't been released, so this was a pleasant little surprise to come home to today... But then I read the chapter and got depressed T_T. I think that I came to terms that Gin would probably die with the latest release in the two weeks I spent waiting for it, so it didn't really hit me that hard. Gin and Rangiku was a little sad, but overall, I wished his death was a little more... Epic, ya know? He was an amazing character and obviously a fan favorite, and he was Aizen'd off in an un-epic way.

One thing I did notice about the forums is a lot of people talking about how Gin arm was ripped off. I went back and reread the chapter after looking at those, and I think that his arm was just cut off. On that page, it looked like part of his sleeve went with his arm, with wouldn't of happened if it was ripped off.

Another thing about two hogyokus. This is kind of directed to what Tinni said. I might have missed something, but now that we know there are two, how do we know which hogyoku granted the wishes? We have no idea which as far as I know. It could turn out that the blood thristy one, as Tinni described, could grant wishes, and Urahara's doesn't, or even both grant wishes. The fact is we know little to nothing about them to make a good call for it. However, if this is true, this could be used to explain the few discrepancies about what the hogyoku was supposed to have done according to Aizen.
