This chapter was interesting. Ikkaku seems to be imparting his wisdom on Moe who seems to possibly be under Tsukishima's influence. His personality is not the type to inspire loyalty on that level on its own, therefore the Book of the End looks like its at work here. Not to mention we are seeing the confused mind damage coming up. As for Byakuya's fight, Tsukishima's fullbring is becoming ridiculous at this point. Previously you can go along with what he was doing, but to insert yourself into the past of an object, thats way to far, this is Kubo's Aizen concept making an appearance again. Like im not really believing the (I cut your zanpakuto now i know all its techniques) Its to far from what the inital ability was. Secondly the cut the ground thing, that was too far fetched as well, (ive been here before and therefore i set a trap). Where does this make sense. That like Godisme said is time travel, if he was familiar with the area that would be one thing, but able to affect it currently as if he was previously there to make traps. Byakuya is simply from what I can tell playing the part of possum. He knows full well the capability of his opponent. Lets be honest without using Senbonzakura, Byakuya is dangerous in a regular sword fight, then there's the issue of him being a master at Kido. Also the point of him being one of the most proficient Shunpo Masters in Soul Society. Recall the trick he pulled on Zommari, Who also seemingly had the upperhand. Also Tsukashima may know Byakuya's zanpakuto techniques but that doesn't stop him from being affected by them, he is still human and Senbonzakura is almost impossible for a shinigami to fight against, regardless if you know whats to come. Byakuya is not consistent and not predictable in a fight. Also his pride is on the line and he detests Tsukishima's ability, i think the guys days are numbered. Besides to many people have been affected by him and his death is most likely required to break his hold on them.
