OMG this chapter was too infuriating for words, but before I get into it. You made a mistake in your blog. Somehow you managed to say that Byakuya was dead. When it's clear he's still alive. Not really, but I kinda made a bet with a user on the Fairy Tail Wiki that if Byakuya was dead, I wouldn't use my admin powers for a month. :( Kubo forsaked me. Anyhow, this chapter was garbage for a lot of reasons. Firstly, As vs. Byakuya was a terrible fight that spit on Byakuya's character. Everything we've known about him for over 400 chapters was thrown out the window. And what made this awful fight worse was that Byakuya died at the end. Really? Byakuya's not a favorite character of mine but his death was piss poor. If you are going to kill off a character it must be for a reason. There was absolutely none for killing off Byakuya. And furthermore, even if there was a reason, I would've preferred a better fight. Byakuya was killed in two chapters in what had to have been the worst fight in Bleach. Besides any fight involving Ichigo of course. :D Kidding, kidding. But what really bothered me about Byakuya's death is that Byakuya died. He's one of the most popular captains. If he can be killed off then I don't have the guarantee that my dear Sui-Feng is safe. :( I know this is ridiculous, but I'm kinda hoping that by some slim chance Byakuya is alive. Not that I care about him, I just don't want to lose a bet and if he is alive, then my Sui-Feng is a bit safer.... >_>

Anyhow, after the garbage that was As vs. Byakuya we get the most predictable plot turn in history. Kenpachi showing up with a few dead Stern Ritters on his back. Well, having 3 Stern Ritters wasn't predictable but Kenpachi being able to stand up to the Stern Ritters was. I knew that since he didn't have a Bankai in the first place he'd be fine in facing them. Though, this was just absolutely infuriating. Now all those annoying Kenpachi fans everywhere will start bragging about how Kenpachi is stronger than Byakuya when he clearly isn't. sigh

I was thinking the same thing about the Quincy/Bankai thing. Although, I think there may be a few exceptions within their ranks. The leader was supposedly able to defeat Harribel without much effort so he's at least able to handle someone of Bankai level. Speaking of that, if the leader was able to beat Harribel easily, then there's no hope for Kenpachi. Salubri might be right when he says Kenpachi is up for death next. :/
