User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 572 (inb4 "Kenpachi doesn't have Shikai")/@comment-24572618-20140313011027

So after pondering, musing, reflecting, and getting over food poisoning I couldn't put last weeks chapter to any thoughts worth mentioning other then Yachiru being all badass and squad eleveny.

And then this weeks chapter comes along and I have to say I'm disappointed. First we see nothing of Isane's Shikai which is a bit of a let down. Second we have Xilinoc proven correct once again that Sternritters can't be defeated by anything but Bankai/Captain level, as Gwenael is killed by by another new Sternritter... Or was he even there to begin with Dun Dun Duuuuuun! So our new Ritter seems to have the power over imagination; though why you would imagine cookies for for bones when cookies are suppose to be soft and chewy and not brittle and broken apart is beyond me. Anyways I want to think his letter will be 'I' but since Cang already has that one and we haven't seen a Ritter with the same epithet but different word for that letter. Perhaps it'll be E for The Envisioned. And is it me or does Guremi come off as both over the top and bland at the same time, making him both silly and non-threatening despite seemingly killing two of the Visoreds. And finally Kenpachi arrives, and I once again have to say I'm disappointed because I wanted to see the lieutenants finally succeed in defeating a Ritter.

So predictions for the next chapter: Guremi tries to use his imagination powers of Kenpachi. Kenpachi being Kenpachi isn't effected by it because I doubt he thinks beyond who to fight next and this results in a semi interesting fight with Guremi trying to get Kenpachi to think outside the box but ultimately getting killed; assuming of course Guremi's powers are based on his opponent believing in it/at least thinking it for a second.

And now my final thought on the chapter... Kenpachi makes a house call. "Damn it Yachiru, I'm a killer not a doctor!"
