Liked the chapter a lot. I especially appreciate that this chapter pretty much confirmed that the girls just aren't clones of the Tres Bestias, whom don't really have defined personalities outside of their constant bickering and their loyalty to Harribel. Now that I think about it, the Tres Bestias only receive significant character development in the anime-only flashback episode of Harribel's life prior to becoming an Espada, which sucks because it's not canon (Although comparing it to other anime-only episodes, I have the sneaking suspicion either Pierrot had footnotes from Kubo giving them ideas he had for the manga that eventually were cut, similar to the Ashido episodes, or Kubo secretly wrote the episode...because its too good to have be written by Pierrot who gave us this )! I like the fact that the girls physically fight and don't use a special ability, like Ayon for example, to do their fighting for them. Even though I have a gut feeling Ichigo won't finish the fight (because god forbid a shonen protagonist has to fight a woman, even if she's a complete psychopath) I wouldn't mind if Kubo let it go on for a few chapters, because this could potentially be one of the most interesting fights of the series, by highlighting Ichigo's complete powers by having a 4-1 fight with 4 young psychopathic women, who also happen to have supernatural powers. Plus Kubo wants to build up anticipation with Ichigo eventual confrontation with Uryu and eventually Yhwach. He waited this long with Ichigo, Kubo isn't going to change his storytelling style now.
