Well now, this is chapter I can get behind.

I would first like to point out that last week I wasn't being serious about the whole Zanpakuto thing; just salty that Lille wasn't dead. That, and a long, tiring day.

Anyway, that aside, we have an actual explanation about Nanao's mother and her family clan. Cool beans. Shunsui is basically Nanao's uncle, and we get a little info about his older brother. His Zanpakuto actually has two Zanpakuto spirits, thus confirming Yamamoto's statement (maybe) about Shunsui and Ukitake being the only members of the Gotei 13 with dual-wielding Zanpakuto.

And then, we get an explanation about Nanao's Zanpakuto: Hakkyoen. It's passed down to each generation, as the Ise's don't have their own Zanpakuto, because... pacifism(?) And it turns out, the younger girl Zanpakuto spirit of Katen Kyokotsu was hiding it the whole time so that Nanao wouldn't be ensnared by her family's curse.

Ok, then onto a small skirmish between Lille and Nanao. And Lille, in his ever-expanding arrogance and egotism, mocks Nanao by questioning whether a lieutenant can defeat him.

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I can sense that this isn't going to end well for Shunsui or Nanao. My intuition tells me, that Nanao is gonna perform a super cool attack, it will seemingly kill Lille, and then... 'No... I will... NEVVERR DIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!', then Lille morphs into a giant dodecahedron, Porygon Pokémon, and shoots those divine light whatever thingys in every conceivable direction, and then... BOOOOMM.

Hopefully not ;)
