Its nice to feel invested in a chapter of Bleach! Seeing Rukia (and Renji last chapter) after a parade of minor characters is nice. It means the story might finally be moving again.

Rukia's new power is intimidating as heck. The ability to freeze her own body processes (and surroundings) to ridiculously low temperatures is right up her alley. While the technique making her 'fearless' is a bit of a stretch, meh, why not? It was a good excuse to see her hand a Sternritter his overconfident butt in a couple of chapters.
