Fan Service indeed on that cover...

So, Quiff's blood pool is the secret to his healing, and Urahara's is based of it? Do I sense a Lazarus Pit expy or something? Anyway, kudos for ducking Byakuya and Renji, less so for Rukia's ass; he could've done it with more style surely.

We finally meet the Soul King, and to be frank I'm not impressed by how he looks. Some nice exposition on how things work, but nothing that really shines as a classic moment in the making.

A thought occured to me recently (cue alarm bells); if the Royal Guard are as strong as implied, then surely Aizen's whole plan was doomed to fail from the start. He had to cheat to handle Yamamoto, so how would he do it against 5 similiarly strong opponents, 4 of which (sans Kirio) there is the distinct likelihood he knows nothing about?
