I don't know why everyone is constantly asking that question the day the chapter came out, come on people, look at the image!!! In terms of Byakuya letting Rukia do dangerous missions, lets remember that he allowed her to go back to Karakura Town during the initial Espada interactions and let her go to Hueco Mundo so obviously allowing her to have promotion was the next logical step!! How do you get more dangerous that the war that Yamamoto lost his arm in right?? Plus, if Kiyone and Sentaro are the best the 13th can offer, Rukia's a major improvement in that quarter!! Maybe the 13th just doesnt have that many great officers to offer!! They seem to go through Lieutenants in Bleach like candy!! In terms of the happy the Shinigami are back, then yeah I am and the end of this chapter shows, its all about Ichigo being the substitute!! Least favorite part of this chapter is that once again, poor Uryu is still useless!! They really mistreated him after the SS Arc, poor blight!! Also not going to like the "Well if Rukia got promoted, who else did??" speculation that will come from this!! I dont mind speculation but its going to be a mess when people start doing it in the articles!!
