I personally liked this chapter..aloooot. It proves Sosuke isn't just all talk. Sure he kicks behinds like taking candy from a baby but how many anime/ manga are out there that it takes a group of people to defeat one enemy?!

I personally want Sosuke to leave everyone half dead and him about to destroy 1 of the pillars when.. *dun dun dun*.. Fully recovered enraged Isshin and enraged Kisuke show up and together beat him or drive him away along with Gin.

Then Ichigo might realize how useful he is and train with the vizards and master his full hollow form and take Sosuke on again.. and maybe learn some kido. After all it was stated that the arracncar arc would finish in June/ but not that Sosuke and Gin would die. The mini arc could be "Ichigo's growth arc". And the arc after could be "Fate of the world arc". This all seems plausible to me.
