I don't know how Ikkaku got his luck so high without doing his Lucky Dance. Guess that's one of the buffs he got from the 17 months of training. Either that, or he did it off-panel, before going through the Senkaimon.

Kidding aside, the chapter seemed to go by really fast, but it was neat to see an old-fashioned fist fight. I really didn't expect much from this fight to begin with, but I was more or less impressed in the end. My guess is that Rukia vs. Riruka will be in the next chapters. I hate to see her go on the chopping block, but seeing how things are going so far, it could very well be a one-chapter fight.
