Brocken: I´m German and explained below what it means. But I think it is misspelling.

To those who think Isshin was the substitute: for all we know Isshin is not a substitute, but a "real" shinigami, most probably a former captain. And fullbringers need a human/shinigami hybrid to transfer their powers (at least that is what Kugo told us). On the other hand, if Isshin is half human, this would explain why he is living in the human world and has children etc. Either way, I hope we will get some more background/history in this arc.

Urahara: if he turns out to be a villain that would be a major twist. I don´t think he is a bad guy, but he is shady and don´t forget that he is a scientist and the person who originally created the Hogyoku.

Kugo: I don´t buy his explanation that Tsukishima tries to prevent Ichigo from contacting Xcution. By attacking his friends he increased Ichigo´s urge to get his powers back and his trust into Xcution. He could have simply killed Ichigo; maybe he doesn´t know that Ichigo is powerless, but if that is the case, why do the Xcution guys know it? But the fact that he was their former leader fits well, it explains why Riruka does not accept Kugo as new leader and Tsukishima´s bossy behaviour.

Fishtank: Ichigo doesn´t breathe underwater. On the last page you see that the water is shallow and he is only immersed less than half way to his knees. I guess that Jackie´s fullbring is somehow water based, we shall find out in the next chapter.

As for the chapter itself, it was the first one for a really long time which did not leave me completely unsatisfied. Not much action, but lots of explanation, changing scenery and yay! Isshin!! Guess most of you felt the same way. Some people complain that the pages with Ichigo´s boss were a waste of time, but I like her, and they show that Ichigo actually has a real life. Others complain about big panels with only the moon, the badge or a door knob - but that´s Bleach for ya.
