I feel lucky, I got chapter 549 right on my birthday. Nice gift :P

I too doubt Hitsugaya will die. It seemed like he died right after Harribel released, but it was just an ice clone. I assume he took the same precaution this time, seeing as how powerful Bazz-B is.

And agreed on BG9. Kubo could have done more, or something different, but what is left that has not been used? I find its body interesting. It looks organic and human-like, yet it's different with the armor that hides projectiles. I was hoping last week that it would lose its cloak after Sui-Fêng blasted it away, so we could see what was hiding underneath it, and Kubo didn't disappoint in that matter.

Now, I'm just interested to see what the mask hides, and to get a confirmation of what exactly BG9 is. It looks like some sort of cyborg, or human/humanoid-machine hybrid, and the upper arms and neck/torso areas look organic, and its entire appearance is humanoid.
