Rukia's bankai was awesome. I am a little confused though. I know its general ability was freezing but what exactly does it do? Also did the release of her bankai kill As? Or was there a battle between them and the chapter just started showing As being killed? It looked like Rukia cut off his head with her sword. Gah so many questions.

It was surprising to see a new Stern Ritter show up and he seems to have an interesting power. Maybe we will get to see Yachiru and Isane's shikai abilities.
