I'd really like Kubo to at least hint at what their goal could be, because so far, all they've seemed to want was revenge on the Gotei 13 and on hollows. Hueco Mundo is like their second base now, and they nearly destroyed the Gotei 13, so if that were their goal, they finished it. But that's clearly only a minor part of their plan, so I wonder what could be even more wicked than killing the Spirit King and becoming God in his place, after bestowing Shinigami powers upon the most corrupt souls in existence (hollows). I didn't expect the Spirit King to look like that, but I am impressed with how he looks. I wonder who the guy kneeling before the Spirit King could be. Maybe he's the leader of the Royal Guard, or maybe the "Royal Guard" are only Royal Guard fodder and the real Royal Guard are preparing to assassinate Ichigo for being part quincy. Something seems really fishy about all this. Maybe the Vandenreich are somehow related to the Royal Guard. They said their shadow-teleportation ability is only bestowed upon the chosen ones. Just like the Oken is only bestowed upon the chosen ones. Possibly they are ex-Royal Guard, who were all exiled for gaining quincy powers? And now they want to make Juhabach the new Spirit King and replace the Gotei 13 with the Vandenreich. I really like this chapter. Maybe Ichigo will get a new zanpakuto altogether and have to start from scratch again, learn its name and everything. Overall 9/10. Not perfect, but impressive and suspenseful. I'm really fanboyish though. I'm sure there are people who hated it.
