"Sensei finally noticed me!"

Awesome chapter. I thought Rukia might have attained Bankai, but I couldn't really think of a reason why she wouldn't have used it right off the bat.

I kind of wonder if what Byakuya said about As Nodt instilling his own fear into others is supposed to be literal or not.
