I was surprised by the chapter, it looks like its shaping up real well. Finally some familiarity is returned. What will happen next. I love how Kubo decided to make symbolism apart of the storyline. Isshin (Ichigo's father and recently re powered shinigami); Urahara (Secret Shinigami and Ichigo's mentor the one that got him to access his shinigami powers); Rukia (the first official shinigami ichigo was introduced to and the one that brought him into that world); Renji (the first Shinigami he fought and a good friend); Byakuya (the initial force behind ichigo training to be more powerful); Kenpachi (the first captain he fought and the one that made him take it to another lvl, stand and fight or or lay down and die); Hitsugaya (the captain that got to know him best while living in the human world during the arrancar invasion); Ikkaku (the first shinigami Ichigo fought in the Seireitei, and the one most similar in combat). All these points were used in the chapter. Ichigo having advanced and not giving in there was alot of good points here.
