I'm with you man. Kira was by far the best Lt in the whole lot of em. His sword was freaking awesome. I really hope he isn't dead, i also hope that Mauyri isn't messing with melding a gigai (spell?) and a soul to complete his arm. Who knows though, he's such a strong char for the world, it seems unlikely that kubo would just skip a piece of his story. He's touched on pretty much all the other main lt's. So either Kubo is hiding something from us, or he's dead. If he's dead, well....shit....but if Kubo is hiding him...no matter what it is, it's gonna be awesome. Huge new power boost kinda thing...mayhaps even a bankai!
