So Rukia's got a temperature controlling Zanpakuto instead of an ice type. That's pretty badass, and a lot better than being in the shadow of the strongest ice type. It's cool to see that Rukia actually has a really strong Zanpakuto, but I just hope that they properly explain why she seemed to think it was an ice type before and why her previous abilities were those of an ice type.

I think it's a little upsetting that Äs seems to be defeated already, but I will be more upset if he isn't defeated. It will be ridiculous if he survives being frozen to -273.15 degrees Celsius. If you're going to pull out 0 K, you can't have people survive it.
