ANALYSIS MODE ENGAGE!

I'm still sick, btw. Oh, and Super Gerard blah blah you know it by heart at this point.

Anyway, Ichigo v. Yhwach seems to have shifted pretty heavily in JuJu-man's favor. Dude has The Almighty active, and is basically playing weird-shadow-arm-ping-pong with his opponent, all while mocking his existence and his admittedly dubious choice to bring Orihime to the fight. Remember what happened last time you brought Orihime to a fight? [| This happened].

Meanwhile, Super Gerard is slapping erryone. Byakuya saves Rukia and Renji from slap-based armageddon, before sending them to Ichigo. Ichigo doesn't need help, he says (as our little strawberry is still on par with Yhwach at this point); however, Byakuya also doesn't need them so he tells them to scram. Hotsugaya points out how this is totally a lie, but then says that it's better for them to fight for their loved ones than for their superiors. D'aww, how Ichigo-like of you, Hotsugaya.

Lastly, we cut to Jugo v Uryū. Jugo is talking about how everything in the universe is about balance, and how the way people set up the scales of their lives is indicative of their true selves, and how despite this truth he can't quite figure out Uryū. Ishida counters that he doesn't know the truth about himself either, but quips that he'll figure it out when everyone is dead before creating a new, four pronged bow. Is this even still Kojaku?

On the very final pages, we see figures discussing their surprise that old portals to Wahrwelt still work. These figures are Ryūken Ishida and Isshin Kurosaki. The dad-bros have come to join the fray, and I think I can hear Xil's fangirling from here.

All in all, a pretty cool chapter. It expositioned a lot, and as Xil said it was kinda average until the dads showed up. I am all the hyped right now.
