Hmmm....Overall the chapter is mostly neutral for me. Granted learning more about Giriko's Fullbring was my favorite aspect (along with his short little comments on the subject) I can't help but notice Fullbring is being associated with relatively positive emotions. With Riruka, it's Love, with Kugo (as according to Riruka) it's Affection, and now both Ichigo and Chad have introduced Pride as their emotion of choice. I truly wonder if it would be possible to invoke Fullbring with more decidedly harsher feelings i.e. Regret or Hate? After all, the prerequisites are simply to posses an object for a long period of time and to associate it with strong emotions/memories as in the case of the Representative Badge.

On a side note, is anyone else predicting that Ichigo's power with Fullbring will make him at an "Intermediate" level? It's a practice seen commonly in action based anime (i.e. Dragon Ball Z with Gohan in the Buu Saga) where a powerful character retains their powers at a midpoint between their peak and how weak they were at the beginning of the events. I'd rather not see Ichigo become weaker than, I don't know, let's say Renji, but if such an event occurred I wouldn't be surprised at all.
