Northstar you basically just summed up everything that's fucked up with this whole arc. If it was someone worthy and powerful they lost to, like Jugram I'd be like okay, whatever he's a badass. But Mask is such a stupid character with a dumb epithet and TWO captains who are VISOREDS can't beat him, but Renji is gonna tear him apart next chapter as a result of his Soul Palace training? Not that I have a problem with Renji at all and I guess since Kensei and Rose are out he's the next best thing but why did Kubo give them these cool abilities and then not utilize them when he gets a golden opportunity? We probably won't see Rose and Kensei fight again at all and they're awesome characters.
