You know, the biggest problem I had with this chapter (which was a decent one) was that Ichigo is using bankai... again. I know that it's expected in every major fight, as clearly kugo is 'the' bad guy, but for once I would like to see Ichigo win a high-stakes fight without bankai. The entire last 'rescue orihime' arc had Ichigo in bankai mode almost the whole time. In terms of character development, it would be nice to see Ichigo learn how to fight more smartly, and conservatively, and win fights with shikai alone. P.S. I also hope that Kugo has a better explanation for why he betrayed Soul Society. I wouldnt rage quit b/c I was being watched, unless Kugo is just really insecure XD
