Quite good chapter. I'd maybe rate it as 8/10. I really enjoyed the first part with Äs, it's really good to know some backstory for the Sternritter, and I find it fascinating that so far the only Sternritter whose backstories we've seen (Äs and the Lloyd Twins) seem to have been living Humans in the Human World.

I also really liked the appearance of Rukia's Bankai, quite really incredible. But I would have liked more explanation as to what it really does, even though it isn't too difficult to figure out approximately what it does, it still would have been nice to get some explanation in the chapter.

As for the second part of the chapter, I didn't really like it. Though I'm excited to see what Isane and Yachiru can do in a fight (if Kubo doesn't decide to have someone else, probably Kenpachi, step in), and it is good with a new Sternritter with an interesting ability, I still didn't really like it. Maybe it was because I didn't like the new Sternritter as a character though his power seems fascinating.
