Other then this chapter feeling a bit rushed I liked it. Where to begin... After As's back story I'm starting to get the impression that all the Sternritter's epithets are inflections that Yhwach cured. As Nodt was dying afraid of going to hell and thus became The Fear. A little theory I have is James is the real Sternritter and Mask is just part of his power as James was a weak friendless outcast (whatever reason) and Yhwach cured that by creating his alter ego Mask De Masculine, someone who was everything James wasn't. I could go through the rest of the Ritter's epithets but you get the idea.

As for Rukia's Bankai, I wish Kubo let me see it in action instead of the end result. But I guess seeing the bonding between Rukia and Byakuya was worth it.

And now the part of the chapter I'm most curious about, what Yachiru meant when she said Kenpachi wasn't coming back, especially after all the trouble he went through to learn his Zanpakutō he just decided to leave? And in the middle of a invasion of all things.

As for Guenael, his appearance creep me out. Appearing behind the doctor like that I wish he had just remained silent.
