As per Kubo, "the enemy will be few in number, but they will increase".. This will be a long arc.. as far as my thoughts on this chapter.. was not expecting this but i loved that for the "hollow ichigo" blade there's a fitting "hollow" and for the "old man" blade is faster and more precise... I wonder if now he'll place his sword in a regular katana before he calls out his shikai... overall, i'm happy he has made amends with both the old man and hollow ichigo, now calling them both "Zangetsus"
