User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 581 - THE HERO 2/@comment-5693502-20140521192535

Two Special War Potentials are now on the scene and the Sternritter have realised that killing one would tip the war in their favour; good on you Sternritter, genre savvy aren't we. And I'm sure, in terms of raw power at least, Ichigo is slightly above Zaraki right now.

I didn't want it to be Ichigo who arrived, but with a title like "Hero 2" there really wasn't anyone else it could've been. Oh well Mr Protagonist is here now. Motivate Zaraki and then go find Uryu/Yhwach, leave the cheerleaders for someone else to fight. And as much as I'm looking forward to seeing his new Zangetsu, I feel I can wait until his showdown with Uryu/Yhwach.

Looking forward to the Shinji vs Bazz-B battle. Shinji has one of the best zanpakutō (in my eyes), hope we get a nice bankai vs Vollständig battle scene between the two (and maybe even a Hollowfication).
