Äs is undefinable. And if they were ever to make an animé out of this last arc then I guess it will be at least rated PG 16+... But I have to say, I really consider it one of Kubos talents when it comes to character development, as well as it really suits the story.

For years, I have been hoping for Rukia to achieve Bankai before the end of Bleach, but now it feels I am completely unprepped ;) Hope we will get more Soul Palace flashbacks as to what really happened over there! I mean, yeah, I totally get that Kirinji, Hikifune, Nimaiya, Hyosube and Shutara are very powerful and have awesome skills, but it wouldn't entirely make up for Rukia to obtaining Bankai. For example, it's one thing that you hear the true name of your zanpakuto, but it's another thing that you understand this also. I feel there is so much more to the Soul Palace, than it just being a palace.

I loved this chapter, it entirely made up for last week's chapter =D
