I am kind of undecided on the chapter. There are some things that I thought were interesting and other things I simply did not care for. I think Tsukishima is a pretty sure thing, heck even the majority of the nutties on Bleach Asylum thought he was dead, Kubo did give a lot of hints, and Tsukishima did look "dead" in the last panel, but we shall wait on that. The whole Jackie thing did not really surprise me because it could be possible that the chatrooms shut down when they lost, not when they died, Yukio maybe said that because they were determined to fight to the death, and the fact that Jackie's riatsu disappeared, it was easy to assume that she had died, but again that is speculation. On a more interesting note, Kubo said at Jump Festa last weekend that he was working on the end of the arc and there are only 2 or 3 more chapters left. This makes sense because Viz Media's Shonen Jump Alpha is launching January 30, about the time this new arc is supposedly starting, so it would make more sense for Viz to launch SJA with a brand Bleach arc. I will try again to confirm the source, but I think it is more than likely the case.
