I mostly just read the blogs but never give an opinion but why not this week as I feel I may have some points. People seem to be upset that Byakuya is having a problem with this quincy. Well we can't have an antagonist without a hero having a problem fighting them. These quincies have obviously been plotting and training for a long time to invade the SS. They wouldn't run into a slaughter. Remember Uryu defeated a captain going all out and he was a quincy in high school. These are an advanced group (and I know I've already said it) who have trained for who knows how many years to come and do this. Byakuya out of character. OK, I can give a little on this but he has changed his mentality a little ever since he fought Ichigo plus he is being affected by a powerful attack from a highly trained foe. ((S)He is using her 'letter' attack. Look at Ichigo and Kirge's 'letter' ability, he is trapped.)  I also don't think people are giving the Blut techniques enough credit. Ichigo, in bankai was having problem hurting Kirge so it is obviously a very useful defensive technique. If TK made it seem like this was going to be a piece of cake for the SS I'd have no reason to anticipate the next chapter. If you let go of the fact that the SS if full of butt kickers and think, 'Hey there are other butt kickers out there too,' maybe, like me, you can believe that Byakuya would have a problem fighting a human. Any that was my two cents for all it's worth.
